Summary: Phase II of the Ferguson Farm development broke ground this week. The new development will expand the existing Ferguson Farm area off Huffine Lane and Ferguson Avenue. Plans include a skyline bridge trail, restaurants, shopping, offices, a hotel, and open space.
What is Ferguson Farm II?
If you’ve been out near Huffine Lane lately, you’ve probably noticed all the activity just south of The Ridge. This 31-acre parcel is set to become Ferguson Farm II, an expansion of the existing Ferguson Farm development to the west (home to Sidewinders, The Market at Ferguson Farm, Town and Country, Schedulicity, and many more).
According to the development plans, Ferguson Farm II will include:
- 92 lots total, including 62 building pads, 19 open space lots, and 11 parking lots
- A mix of shops, restaurants, offices, a hotel, and medical spaces
- A 1.7-acre open space and trail corridor that connects through the development
- A “skyline bridge trail”, rising 18–24 feet above the ground for elevated walking and biking with mountain views
- Parks and gathering areas for concerts, events, and potentially ice skating
- Pedestrian-friendly streets, on-street parking, and covered bike parking spaces
The development’s design goal? To blend “small-town charm with innovative urban planning,” creating a place where people can live, work, and play within walking distance of their favorite spots.
What Makes Ferguson Farm II Unique?
One of the standout features will be the skyline bridge trail, which will rise 18-24 feet above ground and will stretch from Huffine Lane to Fallon Street, running above the Maynard Border Ditch. It will include stairs and an elevator for access and connect directly to patios, cafes, and office spaces along the trail.
At the midpoint, a half-acre park is planned, where there are plans to host community events in summer and skating in winter. This trail system will link into existing Bozeman paths through Valley West, Cottonwood Condos, and Flanders Mill, making it easier to move around west Bozeman without getting in your car.
When Will Construction Begin?
According to planning documents, construction will happen in multiple phases over several years. The project broke ground in November 2025, where early work will focus on infrastructure before moving to building construction.
Once complete, Ferguson Farm II will connect directly to existing streets like Valley Commons Drive, Resort Drive, Fallon Street, and Ferguson Avenue, creating better flow between neighborhoods and businesses on the west side.
About Ferguson Farm Phase I
The first phase of the Ferguson Farm development began in 2014 with the vision of creating a mixed-use, walkable hub on Bozeman's west side where people could live work and shop in the same area. The development began with Sidewinders, and eventually added several commercial buildings (home to Schedulicity and Langlas & Associates, to name a few), medical services including Bozeman Family Dentistry, Sound Diagnostics, and Bozeman Oral Surgery.
The most prominent building in this phase of Ferguson Farm is The Market. A 21,000 sq.ft building which is home to a collection of specialty retailers and restaurants, including Tanglewood, Hachi, Liberty Burger, Salchica, Catch Boutique, and Garden Barn.
The Icon Apartments came along next as a 336-unit apartment complex on the north end of Ferguson Farm between Fallon and Babcock Street. The apartment buildings are two and three-story apartment buildings with a fitness center, pool, 1.8 acre park and recreation area, business center, library, and pet spa.
Finally, Town & Country built a grocery store on the north end of Ferguson Farm, making the move from their N. 19th location after 20+ years.
The Story Behind the Ferguson Farm Development
After owning the land for decades, longtime Bozeman developers Delaney & Company began work on the Ferguson Farm infrastructure in 2014. A family of farmers named Ferguson once owned the land, hence the project's name.
Local architect Thomas Bitnar has been behind the design of many of the buildings in this development. He was awarded an Excellence in Design “Merit” award for his design of the Palisades Building.

Ferguson Farm Phase II includes 92 lots total, with around 850,000 square feet of future commercial space planned across retail, office, hotel, and medical buildings.
It will. The plan includes extensions of Valley Commons Drive, Field Street, Fallon Street, Ravalli Street, and Brookfield Avenue, along with new bike and pedestrian paths that tie into Bozeman’s larger trail network.
Construction will take place in several stages over multiple years. Early work focuses on streets, utilities, and the skyline bridge, while individual buildings will go up as site plans are approved.
A traffic study was completed as part of the development review. The design includes traffic circles, back-in angled parking for slower speeds, and controlled access onto Huffine Lane to help manage flow.
No, this phase is commercial only. All development within this project is intended for retail, office, hospitality, or service-based uses.
