9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 31 <br />CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL <br />EXHIBITS <br />5TH AND IDAHO <br />BOISE, IDAHO <br />RELEVANCE <br />• Lead Developer <br />This multi-family development fits respectfully <br />within the context of the history-rich and distinct <br />Old Boise commercial district. Surrounded by <br />blocks with a diversity of architectural styles, the <br />design of 5th & Idaho seamlessly integrates with <br />complementary architecture and pedestrian-scale <br />massing that is consistent with the district. <br />In a unique public/private partnership with the <br />City of Boise parks department, this project also <br />developed a city-owned, developer-managed <br />pocket park that allowed the building to step <br />back from the street and pay homage to the <br />adjacent historic building. This park serves as a <br />neighborhood gathering space with a small stage <br />for outdoor summer performances. The design of <br />5th & Idaho celebrates simple, modest materials <br />and forms that are consistent with other projects in <br />the district. <br />In alignment with Boise’s planning goals, 5th & <br />Idaho’s parking is all underground or within the <br />alley. This allows the project to make use of its key <br />corners where retail can encourage visitors and <br />residents to gather and create community. <br />Ap <br />r <br />i <br />l <br /> <br />24 <br />, <br /> <br />20 <br />1 <br />9 <br />, <br /> <br />Wo <br />r <br />k <br /> <br />Se <br />s <br />s <br />i <br />o <br />n <br /> <br />- <br />It <br />e <br />m <br /> <br />1
