1010 W. Jefferson St. – Commercial Space and Public Parking Facility: The Agency is working to redevelop 1010 W. Jefferson St. into a multi-purpose parking facility with 446 parking stalls and an active ground floor. The project received Design Review approval from the City of Boise in August 2025, with conditions of approval addressed at the February 11, 2026 Work Session. In September 2025, the Board approved a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Treasure Valley YMCA for The Kissler Family Early Education Center condominium included on the ground floor of the project. In November 2025, the Board approved a unique real property disposition policy for competitive disposition of the remaining five ground floor commercial condominiums and the Request for Proposals for the commercial condominium disposition was published on January 7, 2026. Responses are due April 7, 2026. In December 2025, the Board approved the first amendment to the CM/GC contract with Okland Construction authorizing work to prepare the site for development to begin. In February, the Board approved the Amended and Restated Reservation Agreement with the YMCA pursuant to the LOI executed in September. The design team will submit the building permit package to the City of Boise in March. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar
1010 W. Jefferson St. – Existing Facilities: The Agency converted the parking lots on each side of the building to public parking, with a $5 flat fee and a payment system through ParkMobile. In October 2024, the parking rate was increased to $8/day to address demand and align pricing with other paid parking facilities in the vicinity. The Car Park manages the lot. The Agency continues to coordinate with the adjacent YMCA construction project to the north of the 1010 building. Demolition of the building and the remaining asbestos remediation began January 26, 2026, with demolition work anticipated to be completed by the end of April 2026. Project Lead: Aaron Nelson
1111 W. State St. (Agency Owned Property): Formerly known as Block 69 North, this half-block parcel was acquired by the Agency through a land exchange with the YMCA in September 2024. Prior to the exchange, the previous owner cleared the property of all improvements. The property is currently vacant, and the Agency is using the property as a construction staging area in support of multiple Agency Capital Improvements Projects throughout downtown. Project Lead: Aaron Nelson
1522 W. State St. – 16th & State – PP Type 2: This seven-story mixed-use building with 104 residential units and 1,600 square feet of ground-floor retail on the site of an old gas station includes workforce housing with 38 units reserved for rent-restricted, income-qualified residents. Public improvements eligible for CCDC reimbursement include streetscapes along 16th and State Streets. Utility upgrades include water line relocations and stormwater management infrastructure. Total Development Costs are estimated at $25 million, and Eligible Expenses are at $657,655. The project is requesting the use of CIP funds dedicated to housing developments that are to be completed before the expiration of the Westside District. The Board approved the final agreement in March 2023, and construction is underway. Project Lead: Corrie Brending
821 W. State St. – Idaho Wheat Commission – PP Type 1: The Agency received a Type 1 application from the Idaho State Building Authority for a four story, mixed-use building which will replace the Idaho Wheat Commissions existing office building and provide space for additional tenants. Public improvements include new sidewalks, trees, silva cell systems, streetlights, and bike racks. The Board approved the Type 1 Agreement on August 11, 2025, and the project remains on schedule for completion later this summer. Project Lead: Kassi Brown

Bannock Street Streetscape Improvements – 12th Street to 16th Street: This project will make streetscape improvements on both sides of Bannock Street between 12th Street and 16th Street to support connectivity for all modes of travel from the West Downtown neighborhood into downtown. The design aligns with ACHD’s Bannock Street Neighborhood Concept. To maximize public investment, the Agency has entered into an Interagency Agreement with ACHD to include ACHD’s planned pavement rehabilitation and the replacement of the underground Boise City Canal crossing under Bannock Street east of 14th Street in the project scope. CSHQA led the design effort, and McAlvain Construction is the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC). The improvements on Bannock Street between 13th Street and 16th Street were completed in September 2025. The Agency will be seeking approval of GMP 2 for the final phase of improvements between 12th Street and 13th Street at the March 9 Board meeting. Construction is anticipated to begin in April 2026 and be completed by September 2026. Project Lead: Megan Pape
