12-story tower proposed in downtown Billings

Would replace YesterYears antique shop

BILLINGS- It’s been a low-profile project that could have big implications in downtown Billings, changing the landscape and the housing dynamic.

Plans are moving forward to build a new 12-story high-rise tower in downtown Billings, and architects are calling it the Futurity Tower.

It's a catalyst mixed-use residential project in the current site of YesterYear’s Antiques shop, with two floors of retail, restaurant and office space topped with 10 floors of one and two-bedroom apartments.

Katy Easton with the Downtown Billings Alliance says it’s not a project that’s final. Its aim is two-fold: re-inventing a prime downtown core location, while also setting up the antique mall for its own new prime location under Skypoint.

In 2016, the Downtown Billings Partnership purchased the building to be developed later.

“YesterYear’s is a long beloved community asset that we have,” said Easton, adding that it brings hundreds of visitors to the location each day

As for the tower, she says it’s still in the early phases.

“It’s hard to say much more knowing that the project hasn’t been fully designed yet, but we are really excited to see what happens as that design comes to fruition,” she said.

If built, this is going to be the biggest development in Billings (and in all of Montana) since 1984, when the First Interstate Bank Building was under construction... (I was 2 y.o at the time)!!!

As a native of Great Falls (which was for decades Montana's largest city) I am seething with envy and bitterness and will not support this project. I will lurk on the sidelines and hurl petty insults from my northerly industrial wasteland

The Great Falls, led by our brave warrior Reggie Watts, will rise again

Funny, it is kind of pointless to be bitter over something that you have no control over. Why can't you accept the fact that Billings is now the largest city in Montana and has high-rises and be happy for us and get over it?

VERY happy to see this. I've been hoping for Billings to get something, Hopefully this gets built and spurs more confidence to build up Billing's skyline even moreso!!!.

Would also love to see developments in Great Falls, Missoula, Butte, and Boseman; Montana on a boom if you will!
