Clark made sure that the business was debt free by , and they began to be more cautious about who they were willing to sell the homes to. In fact, Clark Ivory decided to begin ramping down in , which was the time when most home builders were ramping up.
So, when the housing market finally turned, Ivory Homes was prepared. Because the company was on solid ground throughout the economic downturn, they were able to change their focus to helping potential home buyers qualify to buy a new home.
Ivory has a department that focuses on helping people to improve their credit , and another program to help home buyers lease their old homes if they are unable to sell them. These business successes show a glimpse into Clark Ivory, but to really understand who he is, it is necessary to also consider some of his activities outside of Ivory homes.
Clark has dedicated himself to volunteering, and helping to improve our community. He is chairman of the board of trustees at the University of Utah. In the past, he has also served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Intermountain Healthcare, and as a chairman of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. Clark has also been working on initiatives to help students at the University of Utah. He established an Ivory Homes Scholarship Program in , which has been ongoing and it is designed to help first generation students.
Another initiative has been an organization called U Community Leaders, which focuses on increasing the number of scholarships and internships that are available for both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Utah. What makes a home, a home? Somewhere you can plan for the future as you build your legacy. A place that will keep your loved ones warm in the winter and cool in the hot summer.
Where memories will be made as well as kept as the years go by. This year, we are celebrating 33 years on top with the completion of 20, new homes and counting.
We have the best quality products because we know our friends and neighbors deserve a quality home they will love for years to come. This is the driving philosophy behind Ivory Homes. We go beyond homebuilding to build communities and new homes that will last.
Each year we set our sights higher. Earlier this year, organizers circulated a petition seeking to gather enough signatures to put the city zoning ordinance to a vote at the polls. After months of work, they recently learned they fell nearly signatures short of qualifying for the ballot. That second petition, Crocker said, spawned confusion. Unite for Cottonwood Heights sought an extension in its petition drive from county officials but was denied.
Crocker said members are now reviewing legal options. Parker, senior economist at Ivory Homes, said the Holladay case led the company to up its game in Cottonwood Heights, with more public outreach in pressing for support, including the petition effort. And he predicted company officials would take similar, more assertive approach on future housing projects. Ivory Homes launched a new line of more affordable homes for nurses, teachers, construction workers, cops, firefighters and members of the military — with added incentives to help them with credit, closing costs and buying appliances.
Ivory Homes already has a waiting list of more than families who want to participate, Clark Ivory said. Those ultra-affordable projects, though, are much harder to finance and build. Four winners of the inaugural Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability, meanwhile, were announced in April. Over the decades, the businesses and buildings they invested in have changed but the philosophy remains the same: invest in land, properties, businesses, and public market opportunities at the right price, engage the best team, and add significant value to each investment through operational and leadership expertise.
