ECONOMIC 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. In May, the Board designated the project eligible for Type 3 Transformative Assistance and directed Agency staff to negotiate a Type 3 agreement. On May 13th the project received design review approval from the City of Boise. Project Lead: Corrie Brending
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
