The Latest Developments in Downtown Bozeman

BG Mill

The BG Mill project is located at the site of the old grain mill in downtown Bozeman, on the corner of Mendenhall and Wallace. Located at 714 E. Mendenhall, the project has been approved by the city and is expected to be a 5-story mixed-use building with 19 condos, office, and commercial space. While construction has yet to begin, the condos have been listed on the market with prices starting at just over $2 million.  Click here for more information. The development is on the east section of the lot. The grain elevator and Ag Depot, Inc are not a part of the project and remain in business!

North Central

This is the biggest development project that downtown Bozeman has seen. Homebase Partners submitted plans to the city in February 2021 to develop several blocks just north of Main Street between Grand and Tracy Avenues. The 10 building development will take place of an existing parking lot, the Medical Arts Building, and the Mountain View Care Center. The plan proposes that the buildings will include 367 dwellings both for rent and for sale, 541 parking spaces, courtyards between the buildings, and pedestrian-friendly streets.

Hotel Bozeman

Hotel Bozeman is part of the North Central development and would be built on a .72-acre lot at the corner of Lamme and Tracy Ave. Based on plans submitted to the city, Hotel Bozeman would be six stories with 121 hotel rooms and a rooftop restaurant. Hotel Bozeman would be part of the Autograph Collection Hotels which is a "global collection of distinctive independent hotels" by Marriott. According to the developer, Hotel Bozeman would be "the only truly upscale, luxury offering in Bozeman." What is interesting about Hotel Bozeman is that it is proposed to also include 34 condo units, presumably to appeal to buyers who want to enjoy the amenities of the hotel while securing a real estate investment. The application for this project has been submitted to the city. Photo credit: www.hbpartners.com.

The Village Downtown

The Village Downtown was one of the first major residential developments in downtown Bozeman that brought luxury condominiums and townhouses to the market. Now, a new phase of the Village Downtown is underway. The Parklands at the Village Downtown include 9 single-family lots on the northeast end of the existing development. These lots are adjacent to the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve and offer access to the neighborhood trail system. There is a new construction home available for sale in The Parklands, as well as several condos in the original Village Downtown development. Click here to see what is currently on the market at the Village Downtown.

Bozeman Hotel

This proposed development is in the very beginning stages. It is anticipated to be a nearly 350,000 sq.ft mixed-use hotel/condo/multi-family development at 606 E Main Street, just west of the Bozeman Public Library. This project got a lot of attention recently when the developers made a proposal to lease the parking lot of the Bozeman Public Library to build a parking garage for the hotel. The library Board of Trustees denied the proposal, but we will likely see this development move forward after adjustments to the original plan are made.

Willson Residences

The Willson Residences are beautiful high-end condominiums at 300 West Main Street, just steps from the heart of downtown Bozeman. The project was completed in 2017. The units were listed between $500,000 and $2,107,500, and all units sold during and immediately after the project's completion. It is rare to see one of the Willson Residence condominiums come up for sale.

Originally the Gallatin County Free High School, the future of this historic building was on the line for many years. As the brick building started to degrade, there were plans to demolish the building as early as 1989. Yet, architects and historic preservation supporters spoke out and the future of the building remained unclear. In 2000, school officials started searching for someone who could take over and rescue the Bozeman landmark, and eventually, Bridger Builders was chosen to renovate the decrepit building.

After being demolished in the summer of 2017, the future of this prominent main street space is still relatively unknown.

According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Bozeman business leaders have said that the company plans to build a new hotel on the site, there have also been talks of building a parking garage on this site.

Northside Lofts

The Northside Lofts project, proposed in 2015 was meant to take the place of several dilapidated rental units in the form of a five-story development that would have covered most of a city block between Grand and Third Avenue. The lofts were expected to include ground-floor commercial space and 41 residential units. But, city planners denied the project due to parking concerns. Since then, the land has been transferred to a new owner, an LLC based out of New York City and the future of this project remains unknown. Photo credit: www.bozemandailychronicle.com.
