The Owyhee

The Owyhee is a 140,500 square foot mixed-use building in downtown Boise, Idaho that combines 55,683 square feet of office space, 36 studio and one-bedroom apartments, 23,913 square feet of restaurants and convenience retail, a ballroom for special events, and a seventh-floor penthouse banquet room with sweeping views of the Boise skyline. The building was built in 1910 as a grand hotel and is fondly remembered by many locals. Its redevelopment included the first newly built apartments in downtown Boise in decades and established that a market existed for luxury apartments and creative office space.

Desirable amenities for residents and office tenants also include a lobby bar, flexible public workspace, and a workout facility.

Since 1910, the Owyhee Hotel at 11th and Main has anchored the west end of Boise’s Main Street. It was deemed the city’s first “skyscraper” at the time, with a capacious ballroom and roof garden that made it the city’s premier destination for celebrations. In the 1960s and 1970s, attempts at modernizing the hotel saw its original upper-floor rooms converted to offices and new motel wings built behind and beside the building.
