Mountain States City Scoop: Construction Starts in Boise

Construction Activity Expected to Be Flat This Year, But Non- Residential Work Will Increase

The non-building sector will be down significantly in 2018, led by a drop in highway and bridge work.

“At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the outlook across Idaho remains strong. While several privately funded projects are wrapping up, a number of publicly funded ones are kicking off and are sure to keep everyone busy,” Hammon says. “For example, work is just starting on another new hotel, two apartment complexes and a set of high-end condos in downtown Boise, as well as the multi-million-dollar materials center at Boise State. With record-setting low vacancy rates across the Treasure Valley, we can expect work for months to come.”
