From shopping center to something more: The Gateway adds biotech company Recursion Pharmaceuticals, will soon bring in a grocery store

The Gateway in Salt Lake City took a major leap this week in its evolution into something more than a retail center, with the addition of Recursion Pharmaceuticals as a core tenant.

The 5-year-old biotechnology company has moved its headquarters from the University of Utah’s Research Park to a new 100,000-square foot facility in the downtown shopping and entertainment center and will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday.

“Ultimately, we hope to be part of a larger ecosystem of biotechnology companies in the area,” said Tina Larson, Recursion’s chief operating officer, who added that The Gateway provides a central location for its employees who live along the Wasatch Front.
