  186 S Whitewater Park Blvd – Corner Gem / North 27th and West Main Mixed Use: Roundhouse has submitted a Type 3 application for a project at this 186 South Whitewater Park Boulevard that includes over 150 apartments and 15,000 square feet of commercial and retail space. The developer would also build a North 28th Street extension connecting Main Street and Fairview Avenue through the property. The developer plans future phases that will potentially add apartments, transportation connectivity, structured parking and commercial spaces.

901 N 28th Street – 27th Street Crossing – PP Type1: The Board approved a Type 1 agreement in May 2021 for this residential and commercial mixed-use project located at the northeast corner of N. 27th Street and Stewart Ave. The project contemplates 65 residential units and 6,000 square feet of commercial space.

2850 W Fletcher Street –  27th and Fairview Apartments: The Agency is in discussions with developer KAL Pacific & Associates for Type 2 assistance for its planned residential and commercial mixed-use project located at the 27th Street and Fairview Avenue. The project contemplates two, seven-story, mixed-use apartment buildings with 358 total units and ground floor retail space and parking, and four-story office building. The developer plans to extend Fletcher Street to Fairview Avenue, which was proposed in the ACHD Fairview and Main Local Streets Plan and connect the greenbelt to both streets. The project received Design Review approval in May 2021, and the developer plans to submit an application soon. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar

Mobility

 Main and Fairview Transit Stations and Platforms:  The City of Boise, Valley Regional Transit and CCDC are redesigning and constructing improvements at six bus stops along Main St and Fairview Ave between Whitewater Park Blvd and N 16th St.  After no bids were received in response to a formal invitation to bid in April, Agency staff negotiated a contract directly with Wright Brothers, which the CCDC Board then approved at its June 14 Board meeting. Construction is anticipated to start later this summer.  Project Lead: Amy Fimbel

2525 W Fairview – St. Luke’s Transit Station – PP Type 4: The construction of St. Luke’s project on 27th and Fairview overlaps with CCDC’s Main and Fairview Transit Stations and Platforms project. The Agency is negotiating with St. Luke’s to finalize a Type 4 Participation Agreement for the construction of this platform following the Board’s designation in June. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar
