Residences at Wilson Creek Breaks Ground in Caldwell With 251 Rental Townhomes

CALDWELL — Construction has begun on the Residences at Wilson Creek, a 251-unit townhome rental community in Caldwell, Idaho, that Layton Construction says will be the largest development of its kind in the state's history. The groundbreaking was reported Nov. 10, 2026 by the Idaho Business Review, based on a news release from the company.

The Residences at Wilson Creek will create a full neighborhood of single-family homes built for renters. Layton first partnered with developer Dominium on the project in January 2024, helping with design coordination, permitting and entitlements. The development is expected to be finished by the end of 2028.

What's planned at the Residences at Wilson Creek

The 27-acre development will include a dog park, walking paths, 2 acres of open space and individually fenced backyards, according to Layton. Homes will have two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts in single-story and two-story designs.

"This community will help today's Boise families get into the homes they need," said Cooper Sharpe, Layton project manager. "We're excited to start building the project we've been working on with Dominium for years."

Build-to-rent homes in a growing Canyon County

The project comes as the Treasure Valley keeps growing. The Idaho Business Review noted that Ada and Canyon counties had an estimated 876,760 residents in 2026, up about 150,000 from the 2020 census, according to estimates accepted in April by the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS). Layton's Idaho work also includes Alante Homes, which the company calls the second-largest build-to-rent community in the state, Yield PRO reported.

Treasure Idaho first covered the project when Dominium acquired land for the Residences at Wilson Creek.
