Office Construction Has Outpaced 2017
The Boise Metro’s office construction total for 2018 has surpassed the total amount of office construction for 2017, and it’s only August.
This year the Boise MSA has already seen 356,000 sq. ft. of office space constructed, compared with 242,000 sq. ft. in all of 2017. It is projected that 450,000 sq. ft. will be constructed in the office market by the end of 2018. This growth in construction is certainly one factor in the lower vacancy rates, as well as the increases in total absorption and the average overall asking rate.
Boise Valley Industrial Market Vacancy at All-Time Lows
The Boise Valley's Industrial market is very competitive. In fact, not a single Boise Valley submarket posted an increase in Industrial vacancy for the month of July.
Incredibly, of the 15 Boise submarkets that our team tracks, 11 of them actually saw a further decline in Industrial vacancy (from the previous month) and 4 of those submarkets set all-time lows for the vacancy rates recorded.
Plenty of factors are contributing to these market conditions and we believe that the market will continue to be tight, since projected supply has dropped below the 6 month mark.

Boise Growth – Our Perspective, Part 3 of our Conversation
Boise’s cost of living is a key driver of growth. Historically, the cost of living in Boise has been considerably lower than other regional metro areas, including Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City. Fortunately, Boise has been able to maintain this affordable cost of living while experiencing significant growth. Attracting and retaining a skilled work force is crucial for community and commercial success. We believe that Boise’s unique ability to grow its talent base while maintaining its fully vibrant lifestyle, at a fraction of the cost of similar metro areas, should be celebrated.
Twin Falls Land Market Very Healthy
The market for development land in Twin Falls continues to enjoy strong interest. As the entire Magic Valley region has been the subject of attention by national corporations (Chobani, Clif, Jayco, Glanbia...), the demand for development land has risen dramatically. In fact, land prices within the city of Twin Falls seem to be keeping pace with those in the Boise Valley. A combination of factors are contributing to these market conditions, including: scarcity of land, population growth, appraisal values, proximity to new industry and investor interest.
