Shoreline District – Projects
May 8, 2026ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
1025 S. Capitol Blvd. – Capitol Campus: J. Fisher Companies plans to construct a mixed-use project on property owned by the City of Boise. The project will include approximately 360 income-restricted housing units at 60% of Area Median Income, 12,000 square feet of Lusk Street retail or light food and beverage space, and a public parking garage with at least 330 stalls. The J. Fisher team has been working with the Agency on a Type 3 Participation Program application. The project was presented to the Board during a work session on April 14, 2025. A letter of intent outlining the proposed partnership was approved by the Board at the February meeting. The letter of intent includes the purchase of a 250-stall parking condominium for $16 million and reimbursement of eligible public improvements up to an estimated $3.4 million. The project will be brought before the Board for Designation this spring. Project Lead: Corrie Brending
15th St. and 16th St. Corridor Public Investment and Redevelopment Study: The Agency engaged GGLO to study redevelopment opportunities that could be made possible by potential traffic reconfigurations along the 15th Street and 16th Street corridors, including reestablishing an urban street grid. The study also assessed public and private real estate impacts and is now complete. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar, Kassi Brown
INFRASTRUCTURE
Shoreline District Streetscape Design Standards. The Agency is partnering with the City of Boise Planning & Development Services Department to update the Downtown Boise Streetscape Standards Manual. The update will include all streets within the Shoreline District Project Area and establish required streetscape design standards to guide redevelopment within the district. Project Lead: Toby Norton
MOBILITY
Downtown Riverfront Improvements, Greenbelt, 9th St. to Americana Boulevard: This project will construct a second parallel pathway adjacent to the existing greenbelt to spur economic development, increase safety and capacity, and provide separate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. This project will be a partnership with the City of Boise Parks and Recreation Department and adjacent property owners. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was published last month to hire a design team that will develop alignment concepts and conduct community engagement. Two RFQ’s were received and reviewed, and the Agency is negotiating scope and costs with GGLO. Project Lead: Toby Norton

The project will improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and accessibility at roadway crossings. Additional upgrades include improved pedestrian ramps and modernized traffic signals, which both meet Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) compliance standards. The project also incorporates pavement rehabilitation and drainage improvements.
CCDC is not directly involved in this project, but the improvements strongly support the long-range vision for the district. CCDC is coordinating with the City of Boise to implement elements of the Shoreline Innovation Report, including planters, within the raised medians along Shoreline Drive and six new trash cans throughout the district. The planters will provide additional separation between vehicles and bike lanes, while improving the corridors appearance with landscaping.
