THE LUCY

BOISE, IDAHO

DETAILS
     114-unit Mixed-Use Residential/Retail
     100,000 gsf
     9,000 sf retail
     Public-Private Partnership
     Urban In-Fill Project

     Estimated Completion: Summer 2021
Located in the heart of Boise’s Historic District, The Lucy is a downtown living experience focused on cultivating a community that honors the past while pushing for the future. The project will deliver a unique urban mixed-use building that will fit into the existing fabric of downtown Boise by taking its design cues from the context of the immediate neighborhood. 

The name pays homage to Lucianna (Lucy) Aboitiz Garatea, a Basque immigrant dedicated to boarding and feeding locals. At the age of 15, Lucy came to Boise at the request of her aunt (Gabina Aguirre) to work at the boarding house she and her husband (Franciso) owned, the Star Rooming House, now part of Boise’s Historic District.
Like those who came before, The Lucy offers you the opportunity to proudly be a part of the City of Trees while exploring and experiencing Boise like never before.
This vertical neighborhood offers 114 urban studio, one- and two-bedroom homes. Every unit includes upscale modern finishes and convenient amenities in this pet-friendly community. A rooftop deck offers a new perspective of the Boise Skyline, capital building, and foothills as it never has before.

​The overall form, materials, and uses have all been derived by acknowledging the adjacent Old Boise neighborhood, the pedestrian friendly nature of the Basque Block, as well as the City of Boise’s desire to provide more density to the downtown core. Given the amount of frontage along Grove Street, the mass of the building is broken down into two proud brick volumes joined by a secondary stucco rendered element that highlights the residential entry to the building.
