If you’ve visited the area near The Ram restaurant on Park Blvd. in Boise, you’ve probably noticed the large construction site.
Gardner Co. started construction on a new, large apartment complex and parking structure along the Boise River Greenbelt last year. The project, on land owned by the Harry W. Morrison Foundation, will add more than 236 new residential units to the site.
Project plans for Park Place Apartments show a mix of bedroom configurations, including one- and two-bedrooms. A pool, Greenbelt-side courtyard, large bike storage room and other amenities add to the overall project mix.
