NEWS FOR YOU ON THE CITY CENTER PROJECT Dear Friends, Spring is in the air, and warmer weather brings with it big transformations at City Center Plaza. While construction has largely been focused on digging and pouring concrete until now, we’re moving forward with vertical, aboveground construction starting this week. This is an exciting step, because it means that the new buildings at City Center Plaza will start to take shape over coming months. Included in this month’s newsletter is information about renovations to the Grove, progress on Main Street, and a few tidbits about the energy efficiency measures that will be implemented at City Center Plaza. I look forward to watching with you as City Center Plaza takes shape over the coming months, and I hope that you will feel free to voice your thoughts and questions. As always, I’m available to answer any questions at [email protected]. -Tommy ASK TOMMY Submit your questions about City Center Plaza to Tommy Alquist, Gardner Company COO. [email protected] Q: What’s going to happen to the Grove after City Center Plaza construction is completed? A: The Grove belongs to Capitol City Development Corporation (CCDC) and thus they are leading conversations about changes to the Grove. Due to the proximity to City Center Plaza and the Grove’s important role in making this Boise’s premier downtown gathering space, Gardner Company is a stakeholder in the conversations, along with the City of Boise, GBAD, Block 22, and Oppenheimer Development Corporation. Q: Is City Center Plaza an energy efficient development? A: We’ll be revealing specific energy-efficiency measures for City Center Plaza in coming months, but we are excited to say that City Center Plaza will be on the cutting edge of highperformance design. Gardner Company has a strong track record when it comes to energy efficiency, and every aspect of City Center Plaza, from the windows to the air conditioning system, was designed and engineered with responsible and cost-effective objectives in mind.

We recently poured the concrete cover over the Main Street Deck, which will serve as the roof of the underground transit center, Main Street Station, and as the southernmost lane of Main Street. We appreciate your continued patience as we work to complete construction in a timely manner while maintaining the highest levels of public safety.
