Video tour: Meta, Scheels, apartments, hotels, the airport, more highlight Boise-area construction

Periodically, BoiseDev presents a video construction tour of the Boise area. Our early 2021 and summer 2021 tours show a capsule of buildings in the area under progress – most of which are now complete.

This summer, we branched out beyond the downtown core to look at more than a dozen high-profile projects across the area. While this isn’t every major construction project by any means, it gives an update — and a sense — of some of the high-profile developments underway.
