An important Albertsons store gets a facelift. A winery. A go-kart track. Coming near you
The latest proposed developments, other construction projects and new businesses around Idaho’s Treasure Valley:
Boise
The Albertsons supermarket at 16th and State streets appears on the verge of getting a makeover.
The Boise grocery company applied for a city permit to freshen the front facade of the 50,000-square-foot store, which operates on the site of founder Joe Albertson’s first (but long since torn down) 1939 store.
The new look would be distinctly darker than the light beige covering most of the storefront today. The facade would include four shades of gray (“functional gray” for most of the front, “colonnade gray” for trim, “gauntlet gray” for accents and “urbane bronze” for columns), brown (“old cherry” for fiber-cement sections), and black (“black magic” for metal roofing).

Zumper, an apartment-listing service, says Boise’s median rent for two-bedroom apartments in October held steady at $1,520, a 24.6% increase from the same month last year.
The median for a one-bedroom in Boise was $1,410, up $10 from September, says Zumper, which bases its prices on its own and some other sources’ current listings.
Boise stayed put as the 34th most expensive rental market in the country, Zumper says.
