INTRODUCING THE ARTHUR
BOISE'S LUXURY LIVING SPACE
WORDS BY CHELSEA CHAMBERS
You are panoramically surrounded by the beauty of rolling foothills with jagged high-peaked mountains etching the distance. The bustle of Boise below—laughter, excitement, experience happening all around you. But the view from up here—it’s calm, quietly exhilarating, with a sense of peace.
Combine the breathtaking scenery with amenities rarely seen in the Treasure Valley and you have The Arthur. Slated to open in early 2025, this 26-floor, 298 residential-space luxury apartment building is delivering the highest possible standards to Boise. The top floor defines opulence. A hot tub, hammock zone, dining area (complete with full kitchen), banquet room, and perched patio seating to take it all in. One floor down boasts a firstclass fitness center—yoga studio, weight stations, peloton area, and pool. Add to that an economical coworking station, media room, golf simulator, and patio grilling stations, all without leaving the building!
Yes, you read that right. You can host a daytime yoga spa day followed by a dinner party and movie screening, then round it all off with an elegant rooftop sunset cocktail hour.
Oh, and did we mention that coffee is included for all residents? With an in-house café and concierge barista, your vanilla almond milk latte could be ready every morning when you walk out the door.
The Arthur is designed for the creatives. The innovators. Those that appreciate and aspire to big city living within the jewel that is downtown Boise. Whether you are a bachelor, an empty nester, a working couple or a busy family—The Arthur has been designed with you in mind.
The original concept behind The Arthur was born out of collaboration between brothers, Doug and Skip Oppenheimer, a duo-development team from Chicago and a realty team from Cleveland. Vice President of Oppenheimer Development, Jeremy Malone, shared, “White Oak Realty Partners and Ponksy Capital Partners were interested in buying the property, but it’s been in the Oppenheimer family for several decades. We told them we weren’t interested in selling it, but we would be willing to codevelop it with them.” A productive collaboration ensued and built what is now the tallest building in the skyline.
“We are excited about the Arthur,” agreed Doug and Skip. “We hope it adds some very positive contributions to downtown Boise and its lifestyle.” The building is actually named after their father, who built a sizeable development legacy in the capital city. “Dad was a wonderful person and role model. He was always such a supporter and fan of Boise and its evolution. We think he would be pleased to be recognized by the naming of the Arthur!”
Vice President of Oppenheimer Development, Jeremy Malone, says a lot of time was dedicated to evaluating how the spaces should look and what amenities they wanted to offer the public. “Being a Boise local who has lived here my entire life, I’ve always been taught to save my money and buy a house as soon as I turned 18.”
Today, many people travel a different path to their dream home, choosing the flexibility and ease of non-ownership, on-site amenities, and convenience, over the time, stress and taxes of ownership. Malone and his team weighed these pros and cons to decide whether they would offer the units for rent or sale. Permitting and financing ultimately dictated the 298 units of The Arthur would be for lease. The good news for residents translates into a modern, downtown Boise lifestyle without having to worry about fixing appliances, trimming the lawn, or shoveling snow. And who doesn’t want a personal barista?
The Arthur is designed for the creatives.
Located at 12th and Idaho Street, The Arthur is a 420,000 square foot, multi-use building. Beyond residential units, the bottom floor will also house 9,000 square feet of retail space, plus a dog wash, bike wash, and laundry lockers. With a combination of one-, two-, and three-bedroom offerings, The Arthur rises 26 stories in blue reflective glass that changes color with the sky. Imagine swimming in the pool or sweating in the work-out facility with a 360-degree view from sunrise to sunset. Environmentally and aesthetically design details were carefully considered. The balcony design deters birds in flight and the covered parking is disguised by murals of mountains upon mountains.
Malone anticipates the project being fully completed by the end of 2024 and ideally accepting tenant reservations by late November or December. “We want to get people in there. We want to get them excited,” Malone shares. With everything on schedule, Malone and his team anticipate accepting residents by February 2025. Your home in the sky awaits.
