Development of The Cottonwoods is a dream come true for the Gardner brothers, Kem and Rulon. The Gardners hail from just down the road in Clearfield and have been in love with the Mountain Green area for years.

Kem C. Gardner has been co-owner of The Boyer Company for the past 33 years, one of the largest residential and commercial developers in the Intermountain West. Over his career, Kem has overseen the development of more than 15.5 million square feet of commercial projects, including office buildings, shopping centers, medical offices, hotels, apartment complexes, and special use facilities.

Rulon Gardner, founder of Gardner Development Company, boasts over 23 years experience managing land acquisition, financing and construction. Over the past 10 years, Rulon has overseen more commercial real estate development than any other individual in Utah. He is incredibly excited to bring his dream of developing The Cottonwoods at Mountain Green to life and creating the first large-scale rural master-planned community in Northern Utah.
