Roe Street Multi-Family Homes in Boise: CCDC Picks Plan for 90 Homes on State Street

BOISE — Roe Street Multi-Family Homes, a plan for 90 homes on a vacant lot at 8306 W. State Street in northwest Boise, Idaho, has taken its first big step. The Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) Board of Commissioners selected a proposal from Outwest Investments LLC for the site, the agency announced Nov. 9, 2026. That is 20 more homes than CCDC required, with rents designed to serve households across a range of incomes through 2042.

"Adding homes along State Street is an important part of making this key corridor work better for the people who live here," said Robyn Sellers, CCDC Executive Director. "More homes at a range of rents would give people more choices about where they live, with transit, local businesses and everyday services close by."

What Outwest proposes at State and Roe

Outwest proposes a four-story building at the corner of State Street and Roe Street, with homes ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. According to CCDC, proposed rents would serve households earning between 60% and 120% of area median income (AMI), with rents affordable at 90% AMI on average.

The proposal also includes connections to existing sidewalks, adjacent development and the future State Street multi-use pathway, plus bicycle, scooter and electric vehicle charging stations and a potential transportation hub. In its proposal cover letter, the development team says the building was designed by Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects and that it plans to operate the project jointly with the neighboring 85-unit Limelight Village apartments.

How the 1.92-acre CCDC site got here

CCDC bought the 1.92-acre site in the State Street Urban Renewal District in 2025. In April 2026 it issued a competitive Request for Proposals and received two responses. The agency said it prioritized attainable homes, quality design, better walking, biking and transit connections, and long-term investment in the corridor. The request offered a potential land discount and reimbursement for eligible public infrastructure improvements.

What happens next

The board's vote lets CCDC and Outwest begin negotiations. CCDC staff will bring an agreement to negotiate exclusively to the board for approval at a future public meeting, and any financial commitments or other terms would need separate board approval. The project page lists summer 2027 for negotiating the disposition and development agreement.
