Townhouses, apartments in Boise. Houses in Meridian. Cottages. What’s coming near you
The latest proposed developments, other construction projects and new businesses around Idaho’s Treasure Valley:
Boise
Steve Martinez with Tradewinds General Contracting is seeking to build seven townhomes and a nine-unit apartment building at 1821 S. Vista Ave., replacing three older homes on the property.
The project on 0.6 acres would feature 10 one-bedroom units and six two-bedrooms. The buildings would be 3 stories tall.
The Boise City Council plans a public hearing on the project at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20. The meeting is a hybrid format, meaning people have the option to either testify in person at Boise City Hall, 150 N. Capitol Blvd., or virtually by registering at cityofboise.org/virtual-meetings.

Garden City
The Garden City City Council voted Monday to approve a final plat for the Garden Phoenix subdivision on North Adams Street between 43rd and 44th streets.
The project would have eight residential units that applicant Briant Burke described as “cottages.” The project originally came forward in 2017. Nothing substantial has changed between the primary plat approval of that year and the final plat approval.
The buildings will be 2 stories tall, and residents will be able to access them from Adams Street.
The council unanimously approved the project.

Looking for office space to rent? The coronavirus pandemic is opening up office space in the Boise area, TOK Commercial reports.
Tenants are subleasing space they no longer need, thanks to “post-COVID-19 workspace reconfigurations and a changing economy which emphasizes digital delivery of services,” TOK said in a news release.
Banks are watching commercial tenants’ payment-delinquency rates as federal virus-relief aid expires, TOK said. A rise in delinquent payments by office and retail tenants could leave landlords unable to make mortgage payments. So far, TOK said, “Idaho’s tenant delinquency rates continue to remain at levels well below national averages.”
