Cutting-edge design shapes Onset Financial’s new corporate campus in St. George
That over there is a building that’s pushing the architectural envelope in St. George. Earlier this year, the new Red Rock Division for Onset Financial, a powerhouse in equipment leasing and financing, made its grand debut—and it’s not just another office building. It’s a statement piece that’s turning heads in southern Utah.
This 55,000-square-foot, steel-framed building stands tall against the desert landscape, with sharp, modern lines and a gleaming exterior of glass and zinc-metal panels. It’s an edgy mix of transparency and solidity, strikingly sculpted on its riverside perch along the Santa Clara River. The design doesn’t just sit on the land—it owns it, with panoramic views that stretch across the bluffs and towards the distant peaks of Snow Canyon. The building’s four levels are stacked like a modernist’s dream, each one slightly askew to create distinct spaces, inside and out.
At ground level, known as the “Lifestyle Level,” it’s all about the employees. Here, a sprawling Game Room comes packed with a half-court for basketball and pickleball. The adjoining “Bistro,” encased in glass, opens up to a terrace for indoor-outdoor dining that’s as sleek as it is inviting. A deluxe Fitness Center, complete with posh locker rooms, is crowned by a massive two-story digital screen for that extra dose of wow.
Move up to the second and third floors, and you’ll find shaded terraces on each level, adding a touch of cool to the Sales Team’s high-energy hub on the second floor and the Management Team’s command center on the third, where executive suites and conference rooms exude power and prestige.
Naturally, the top brass occupies the top floor—a 12,000-square-foot workspace for the CEO. A private elevator opens to an executive suite that’s pure luxury, with a boardroom fit for the most exclusive meetings, an executive kitchen and a lounge. Step out onto a vast terrace, or find your zen in the Oasis Garden, where Snow Canyon views steal the show. For the ultimate retreat, the Zen Garden offers a 2,000-square-foot outdoor space complete with a plunge pool, a fitness center and a steam room. This corporate campus is clearly not just another new building in boomtown St. George—it’s a statement of innovation, luxury and bold ambition.
