The Fidelity Building combines several things that are increasingly hard to find... together in downtown Boise: historic character, strong pedestrian visibility, adaptable floorplans, and a walkable urban location in the heart of the city’s business and entertainment core. Ideal Uses Include: • Boutique Retail • Professional Office • Salon & Spa • Fitness & Wellness • Creative Studio • Gallery • Hospitality Concepts • Client-Facing Businesses Listing Highlights Include: Prime downtown Boise positioning The building sits at the highly visible corner of 8th and Idaho Streets, one of downtown Boise’s most active pedestrian corridors. That gives retailers strong walk-by exposure and office tenants immediate access to restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and civic amenities. The property is centrally located with “great amenities,” strong streetscape visibility, and high foot traffic. Flexible use potential The available suite is available for a wide range of uses including office, retail, spa, salon, fitness, art studio, and hospitality concepts. Existing improvements such as showers, locker rooms, private offices, and kitchenette areas reduce upfront tenant buildout costs and speed time-to-opening. Historic character that differentiates brands The building dates back to the early 1900s and is part of Boise’s historic downtown core. Originally known as the Montandon Building, it was designed in a Romanesque architectural style and has longstanding local recognition. For boutique retailers, creative firms, law offices, agencies, wellness operators, or hospitality concepts, that authenticity can be a meaningful branding advantage over generic Class A space. Strong fit for experience-oriented retail Downtown Boise consumers increasingly gravitate toward local, experiential businesses rather than commodity retail. The building’s layout and visibility align well with boutique fitness, salons, wellness concepts, cafés, galleries, speakeasies, creative studios, and destination retail. Walkability helps employee recruitment and customer traffic Employees and customers can easily access the location from nearby parking garages, downtown apartments, hotels, and office towers. Being in Boise’s urban core is particularly attractive to younger professional workforces who value walkability and proximity to amenities. Character + efficiency combination Features like geothermal heating and existing tenant improvements create a blend of sustainability and operational practicality that many historic buildings lack. Visibility without skyscraper pricing pressure For many tenants, especially regional businesses or local brands, the Fidelity Building can provide a more distinctive identity and customer experience than a conventional office tower while still maintaining a prestigious downtown address. Ideal for client-facing professional services Law firms, architects, financial advisors, marketing agencies, and boutique consultancies benefit from the building’s downtown credibility and memorable environment. Existing professional tenants already operate within the building ecosystem. The biggest strategic advantage is that the Fidelity Building offers tenants the opportunity to occupy space that feels authentically “Boise” rather than interchangeable. In a downtown environment where many newer projects compete on glass-and-steel amenities, the building’s historic identity and street presence help businesses stand out.
