POCATELLO — Private developers plan to soon build a 177-unit apartment building catering to Idaho State University students on the former site of Bannock Regional Medical Center.
Officials with Portneuf Health Trust confirmed they closed on selling the 4.13-acre property, located at 651 Memorial Drive across from ISU, on Dec. 30, but they declined to specify the sale price.
The buyer, NP Elevate Pocatello LLC, reportedly hopes to have the permits completed in time to start construction of the planned six-story building in April.
***This is great news for Pocatello and it's unique and beautiful skyline. The rendering provided to the ISJ shows 2 modern "L" shaped, low rise, six and five story buildings connected by glass skywalks. The rendering illustration looks like four buildings; so perhaps this is a phase by phase project? If Pocatello is going to grow, it has to embrace density. The illustration did not have a url attached to it so I encourage you to check out the article online to see it.***
