LEHI — Ancestry, an online family history resource, has announced plans to build a new company headquarters at the Corporate Center at Traverse Mountain in Lehi.
"We're excited about our new Utah headquarters," said Tim Sullivan, CEO of Ancestry. "We're proud of everything our employees have accomplished in recent years, and we're looking forward to a new facility that is going to be an awesome place to work."
For the past three decades, Ancestry has been headquartered in Provo and has focused on making family history accessible to millions of people around the world. The company has more than 1,400 employees globally, 1,000 of whom are based in Utah.
The new $35 million facility, located just a few miles off I-15, will sit on 10.5 acres and feature a modern design with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The facility will feature a covered parking structure, an outdoor patio and access to surrounding outdoor biking trails and retail shops.
Preconstruction work started in January, and the campus is projected to be completed and ready for occupants in midyear 2016. Ancestry expects to initially occupy approximately 135,000 square feet on location.
