and the airport has a new crane for the rental garage.
That crane will get taller as well. It is 3 sections too short. I wasn't told any exact details, but it had something to do with a miscommunication on the required height. Now they have to re-submit permits with the FAA, and that could take quite a few months to get it approved. The garage will move on and eventually the crane will push itself up taller.
saw in the Statesman today that the Boardwalk developer stated the 18-story tower is still going to happen, with a groundbreaking later this year or early next year.
This is excellent news. I'm going to love seeing a random tower in Garden City.
The 7 story Saratoga is a mammoth project.
Hotel Renegade has trees along the building now, and inside curtains and light fixtures can be seen on multiple floors. Signage over front entrance and Baraboo super club. Back parking lot has been resurfaced. Food truck was delivering for the soon soft opening.

thanks for the update pics. the saratoga is indeed massive... i wish it was 4 times as tall on 1/4th the footprint, but we'll take it.
Hotel Renegade is going to be a gem. love the retro look of it... really looks like it was built 100 years ago.
for those NOT originally from Wisconsin, the correct way to pronounce "Baraboo" is "Bear-a-boo". I've heard a few people mispronounce it recently. hope they have Friday Night Fish Fries and good Old Fashioneds, the Wisconsin way.

They got the chef Reno Rodriguez ( a Beard award winner) from Anthony's whose Idaho trout was to die for.
Hotel Renegade really is a fantastic looking building.
I swear the AC Element hotel project is on a supercharger. Feels like they barely fenced it off and it's coming out of the ground already. I think it's already ahead of the ICCU Tower. I'll be curious to see how it looks in real life as I wasn't huge on the changed aesthetics. Who knows, maybe it'll surprise?

ICCU had to do a huge amount of utility work, mostly sewer upgrades. AC Element had all that done ahead of time (primarily by CCDC) so the stage was totally set for them. Sweet to see it shoot up!

Has anyone here heard any updates on Ovation and The London condos? A month or two ago I dm’d BoiseDev and he said he’d try to get an update, so I’m assuming he hasn’t heard anything yet, has anyone else or are they on hold, dead or having to renew their permits because they expired back a while ago?
Ovation apartments at 23 stories from 19 has been quiet since December 2023, but with all these positive changes from height to materials seems they plan to go ahead on this project.... There is nothing on https://hovdeproperties.com/ web site.
246 feet, 258 units ( 23 studios, 122 one bedroom, 97 two bedroom 16 three bedroom ), and 260 parking spaces.
Keep your fingers crossed.
This is the latest update I can find on the Ovation, and it indicates the project is on hold.
Thanks! The hotel will really add density to downtown, and I can't wait to see it rise.
I have several photos from this past weekend. I should have time to post them later this afternoon. I shoot #Nikon

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains.-Hermann Hesse
I think you guys would appreciate this recent drone shot of downtown I saw on Instagram, from the This Is Boise account. Great shot of the new development going on!
i'm curious to know if the Saltbox hotel project is ever moving forward. this was an intriguing proposal for the area, and the lot is now just a dirt parking lot.

I saw that roundhouse developers had filed for a temporary parking lot at the site around last October or so. Haven't heard anything since then but it could be a sign that they are moving forward with it hopefully.
