the Warehouse food hall is now open (pic by me):

picture was taken the day before the grand opening. the new concert hall around the corner also broke ground a week ago, and a new movie theater complex will be moving into the older cineplex odeon facility.

additional restaurants are scheduled to open in this area in the fall, which would bring the number of bars, restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops in that 4-block area to about 25.

another project proposal from Roundhouse, this one would include a 6-floor apartment building on Myrtle and a 12-floor hotel on 5th and Broad. this is a very preliminary proposal that would still have to go through multiple approval processes.

the 19-floor London project was proposed for the block just north of the hotel. Both would replace empty lots and add good density to the SE side of downtown.

picture i took of the east end of downtown. many of these buildings were completed in just the last couple of years. most were one-story buildings or surface parking lots.

couple of updates in this week's Idaho Statesman:

1 - the Avens on the west end of downtown is about to break ground. image from the Statesman:

the city is hoping this is one of many projects that will spur development in the West End, which has long been an area of blight and empty surface lots for years. there are multiple other residential proposals for the area; the Avens is the first to move forward.

2 - Boise State has plans to construct an on-campus, 8-floor student dorm that would be 100ft tall. No details, including location and timing, have been revealed.

Fire Station 5 proposal for West Downtown looks to include affordable housing as part of the development.

Quote:

Station 5 is Idaho’s busiest station! The proposed structure will replace the existing station that has served the City for over 60 years. The new project will help better serve the community and improve the health and safety of firefighters.

In addition to planning and design for a new fire station the design team looked at ways for the City to increase affordable housing stock by better utilizing this half block in West Downtown.

all of these projects on the West End will dramatically transform an area now full of empty lots into a dense residential neighborhood. All proposals so far also include ground level retail space, and all have a close connection to I-184 and the Greenbelt.

Micron news... they filed their plans for their $15 Billion expansion on their east Boise campus, which will include over 6.5 million square feet of space and double the size of their current campus.

the largest building will be the four-floor, 160-foot tall Fab plant that will have 4.85 million sq ft of space.

Image from Boisedev.com:

interesting to note that the new office building mentioned a couple of posts ago is a separate project, but that will add an additional 440,000 sq ft of space and a podium-style parking garage with room for 3,179 cars.
