Missoula continues building momentum toward future housing growth after the Missoula City Council officially approved the land sale for the highly anticipated Midtown Commons development near Southgate Mall. The approval marks a major milestone for the approximately $100 million mixed-use community, which is expected to deliver up to 250 new housing units alongside commercial space, public gathering areas, new infrastructure, and a thoughtfully designed 1.6-acre public park. A 3D rendering of Midtown Commons. The project will be developed by Miramonte Companies a longtime Mountain West developer and builder known for creating thoughtfully planned residential communities focused on modern livability, quality design, and long-term community value. A Major Investment in Missoula’s Future Midtown Commons represents one of the most significant infill redevelopment projects currently moving forward in Missoula. Planned on long-underutilized city-owned property, the community is designed to bring a diverse mix of housing types to the market, including: Condominiums Townhomes Apartments Duplexes Single-family homes The development will also include new streets, sidewalks, landscaping, trail connectivity, and commercial opportunities designed to support a more walkable and connected Midtown district. The Midtown Commons development includes a 1.6-acre park with a lawn, riparian corridor, shade structure, and new trees. - City of Missoula City Leadership Highlights Community Benefits City leaders emphasized the importance of the project in helping meet Missoula’s growing housing needs while advancing long-term redevelopment goals for the Midtown area. Mayor Andrea Davis called Midtown Commons “an exciting opportunity” and said the project “addresses a wide set of community goals and needs.” The project has also been recognized as a catalyst for future investment and revitalization within the Midtown district, supporting broader city goals tied to housing expansion, connectivity, and mixed-use development. Meeting the Demand for Modern Housing As Missoula continues attracting residents seeking outdoor recreation, mountain living, and quality of life, the demand for modern housing options continues to rise. Projects like Midtown Commons help address that demand by bringing: New housing inventory to the market Energy-efficient and modern homes Walkable mixed-use neighborhood design Expanded public amenities and open space Long-term investment in community infrastructure Several housing options planned within the development are also expected to target attainable pricing levels compared to broader Missoula market conditions, helping create additional opportunities for local buyers and workforce housing. Miramonte Companies’ Continued Commitment to Montana Miramonte Companies continues expanding its presence throughout Montana with projects designed to support growing communities while enhancing quality of life through thoughtful planning and modern residential design. Midtown Commons reflects the company’s continued focus on infill development and community-oriented neighborhoods that align with evolving buyer preferences and long-term regional growth. Looking Ahead With City Council approval now secured, Midtown Commons moves one step closer to becoming a transformative addition to the Missoula community. As planning and development continue, the project represents another strong sign of confidence in Missoula’s long-term growth, housing demand, and continued evolution as one of the Northern Rockies’ most desirable places to live.

As housing demand continues across mountain communities like Missoula, Montana and Flagstaff, Arizona, a new report from Realtor.com suggests that newly built homes may provide significantly more long-term value than many buyers expect. Miramonte Companies - Valley View Idaho Street Condominiums https://www.miramontehomes.com/community-collection/residence-at-idaho According to the report, homeowners who purchase new-construction homes can save an average of more than $25,000 over a 10-year period compared to owners of older resale homes. Those savings are driven largely by lower utility costs, improved energy efficiency, and fewer major maintenance and repair expenses for items such as HVAC systems, roofing, plumbing, and appliances. Miramonte Companies - Valley View Idaho Street Condominiums https://www.miramontehomes.com/community-collection/residence-at-idaho The findings are especially relevant in markets like Missoula and Northern Arizona, where seasonal temperature swings and rising utility costs can have a major impact on the overall cost of homeownership. Modern building standards, upgraded insulation, energy-efficient windows, and newer heating and cooling systems can help homeowners reduce monthly operating expenses while also minimizing unexpected repairs during the first several years of ownership. In fast-growing mountain markets such as Missoula and Flagstaff, many buyers are also weighing the benefits of low-maintenance living and predictable ownership costs as inventory remains competitive. While newly built homes often carry a higher upfront purchase price, Realtor.com’s research suggests that long-term operational savings can help offset that premium over time. The report also noted that builder incentives — including mortgage rate buydowns and closing cost assistance — continue to improve affordability for buyers considering new construction. For buyers relocating to lifestyle-driven markets like Western Montana and Northern Arizona, the combination of energy efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and newer home features is becoming an increasingly important part of the affordability conversation.

A redevelopment project planned on city-owned land near Southgate Mall will deliver up to 250 housing units, along with commercial space and a well-appointed public park, with construction set to begin this year. The Missoula Redevelopment Agency's board of commissioners on Friday approved two sales agreements related to the project, along with a development agreement. Midtown Commons carries an estimated cost of more than $100 million and will receive roughly $5.9 million in tax increment to fund the public infrastructure, park and other public amenities. “This is an exciting opportunity,” said Mayor Andrea Davis. “This project has long been discussed as a real opportunity to catalyze redevelopment for Midtown. We feel the proposal addresses a wide set of community goals and needs.” The city purchased the 13-acre property dubbed Midtown Commons for $5.9 million in late 2024. The Missoula Economic Partnership then set out to vet proposed developers and presented several qualified firms to the city. Miramonte Companies LLC was selected in June 2025 to develop the site and meet a number of city goals in doing so, including a range of housing types, streets and delivery of a public park. Chris Kemmerly, owner of Miramonte, said his firm has focused on infill development for the past 40 years. Midtown Commons reflects that mission, he said. “This is the epitome of good infill development,” he said. “This has been a true collaboration.” A range of housing types are planned across the 13-acre parcel including single family homes, condos and townhouses, duplexes and apartments. The company will also purchase an adjoining 2.5-acre city-owned parcel and deliver a range of commercial opportunities under the full 15-acre development. It will pay the city $7.2 million for the properties. The project also includes a 1.6-acre park, a greenbelt connecting to the Bitterroot Trail, a riparian zone, and connectivity between area streets, which is currently lacking. The property has sat vacant since the 1970s. “We'll add new park space to our community,” said Davis. “Importantly, we'll also add new housing and many different types of housing. It's important to note that this project adds housing choice to our market.” Project Funding for Other Midtown Plans The funding package for Midtown Commons includes an initial $10.9 million investment in tax increment to help place the infrastructure needed to develop the site. Broken down, the funding includes $1.9 million to build the park and roughly $8.9 million for the infrastructure. Annette Marchesseault, a project manager with the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, said that as Miramonte sells the project's housing stock, it will pay $5 million back to the city, representing a nearly 50-50 split in infrastructure costs. The sales and development agreements still need approval by the City Council. “At the end of the day with tax increment, the city will be investing roughly $5.9 million to leverage a development that's estimated at over $100 million,” said Marchesseault. “We feel it's an incredible investment in the community.” Another developer – United Housing Partners – had been interested in developing Midtown Commons, though the city ultimately selected Miramonte. However, United Housing Partners was selected to develop an affordable housing project on Johnson Street, located just blocks away. “The amount of money that (United Housing Partners) was asking for was a lot. It felt cost prohibitive and not very efficient to do affordable housing on this (Midtown Commons) site,” said Grant Kier, CEO of the Missoula Economic Partnership. “It turns out that Franklin Crossing is a much better model and better funding, and it leverages the investment here (at Midtown Commons).” The Midtown project is expected to bring new tax increment to Urban Renewal District III. That funding will help develop the $67 million Franklin Crossing project, which will include 192 apartments with more than half reserved for those earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income. The city has already agreed to donate land to Franklin Crossing and provide $9.7 million in tax increment from District III to help bolster United Housing Partner's application for state tax credits. Davis described the two projects as a win for Midtown and Missoula's need for housing and infill development. “(Midtown Commons) will get this land back on the tax rolls and add to the increment in this district,” said Davis. “It will be able to support another project down the trail at Franklin Commons, which will include 140 deed restricted affordable apartments.”

Located on nearly four landscaped acres, El Dorado Lodge is a large, three-story building. The original two-story residence was designed by architect Grosvenor Atterbury and built between 1934 and 1936 by M.M. Sundt Construction Company in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The entry drive, lined with Italian Cypress trees, complements this architectural style. The building was constructed using local native fieldstone and hand-hewn brick. When the property was converted into a social club in 1949, a partial third story was added. ​ The property includes two additional contributing buildings: the original Bathhouse and the B Building, both added during the conversion to El Dorado Lodge. Alongside the main building, there are 5,928 square feet of terraced patios on the southern and western sides, offering views of the Rincon and Santa Catalina Mountain ranges to the north and east. The property maintains a high level of integrity, reflecting both its original architectural character and its function as an important social venue in Tucson (see Section 8, Statement of Significance). ​ El Dorado Lodge, now the Mountain Oyster Club, is situated on 3.9834 acres on the eastern edge of midtown Tucson, Arizona. It is located at 6400 East El Dorado Circle, one block northeast of the major intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Wilmot Road. Originally set in open desert in the 1930s, the surrounding area has since urbanized. Neighboring properties consist of one-story commercial businesses, two-story residential complexes, and several three-story office buildings, including the El Dorado Health Complex, a small community-based medical facility, all of which were originally part of the historic Stone Ashley parcel. To the south of Speedway Boulevard is the National Register-listed Harold Bell Wright Estates Historic District, a residential neighborhood developed after 1950.

From historic neighborhoods and pristine landscapes in Tucson to residential projects in Phoenix to unique sites in Cottonwood, Sedona and Flagstaff, Miramonte Homes knows Arizona — and Alliance Bank of Arizona knows Miramonte. Thanks to the deep bonds between Miramonte Founder and CEO Chris Kemmerly, Miramonte President Julie Mastriani and Alliance Bank relationship bankers, the two companies have built a longstanding partnership dating back to 2007 and spanning a wide range of project types. Miramonte takes a unique approach to homebuilding, says Mastriani. “We look at things a bit differently. Thanks to the resources we’ve accumulated over the 30-some years that Chris has been in business as a private homebuilder, we have become what you might call a private production homebuilder.” The company’s recent work encompasses semi-custom homes across the state, affordable condominiums in Flagstaff, townhomes in Sedona and a traditional production home community, Miramonte at Mesquite Hills, in Cottonwood. Then there’s Moonlight Canyon at Saguaro Ranch, a prestigious, 43-lot semi-custom/custom home community nestled in the Tortolita Mountains in northwest Tucson, with access via a tunnel that was carved through the mountain by the original Saguaro Ranch developers to reveal a stunning natural landscape dotted with majestic saguaros. “I always say a company’s culture starts with its leadership, and we see that all the way with Alliance Bank,” Kemmerly adds, noting that Alliance Bank of Arizona has financed many Miramonte projects over its 15-plus year relationship with Miramonte. “Being together this long, you don’t really have to tell them a lot – they know everything about you. Sometimes I call [our banker] about stuff even I don’t know! And the access to senior management is unmatched — I have top management’s cell phone number and can call when I need it. You don’t get that anywhere else.” In Alliance Bank of Arizona, Kemmerly sees a parallel to how he has built his company’s outstanding reputation: by taking care with the work they do and honoring their commitments. “It starts with your people — when they are talented and knowledgeable, with the right attitude and approach, you’re able to do pretty cool things.” A proven commitment to clients and their success distinguishes Western Alliance Bank and its brands, including Alliance Bank of Arizona. Our bankers specialize in structuring innovative solutions, including commercial real estate and construction financing that flexes with your projects and meets the needs of builders as they grow.

To address housing affordability, cities around the country are seeing the development of "middle housing"...

Miramonte Partners with the City of Missoula on Midtown Commons Redevelopment.   We’re proud to share that the Missoulian recently featured Miramonte Companies and our partnership with the City of Missoula in shaping the vision for Midtown Commons — a new mixed-use community planned for 13 acres near Southgate Mall. Miramonte was selected by the City as the developer for the Midtown Commons property, which will include new single-family and multi-family homes, commercial space, and a 1.5-acre public park designed to serve the surrounding neighborhood. According to the Missoulian, “Miramonte is working directly with the city as a partner to design and build out the area,” aligning the project with the City’s 2023 Midtown Master Plan. Early site concepts show planned roadways, park placement, and housing layouts that will be available for the community to review at an open house hosted by the City and Miramonte.   Miramonte CEO Chris Kemmerly noted that hundreds of homes could eventually be built at Midtown Commons. The first phase is expected to include a section of single-family homes under existing zoning, with work beginning as soon as possible.   The City of Missoula and the Missoula Redevelopment Agency are also exploring infrastructure improvements and the addition of nearby parcels to enhance connections and access to the new community.   To read the full story, visit the Missoulian website: https://missoulian.com/news/local/government-politics/article_e000a701-8788-48d8-be52-4e1285d45c46.html (subscription may be required).

Miramonte Companies Chosen for Development The City of Missoula has announced that Miramonte Companies, led by Chris Kemmerly, will transform the long-vacant Southgate Triangle. This project aims to create a vibrant mixed-use community. It will combine commercial spaces, public areas, and various housing types. This aligns perfectly with the city’s Midtown Master Plan. Miramonte was selected from 30 proposals. Their proven track record in Missoula and ability to deliver a development that meets the city’s goals were key factors. Mayor Andrea Davis stated, “They have a track record in Missoula and some excellent home types that meet the missing middle.” She added, “This property is a high opportunity to repurpose underutilized land for more homes, commercial opportunities, and stronger community connections.” A Promising Future for the Southgate Triangle The 13-acre property was purchased last November for $5.8 million. It has sat vacant for more than 40 years. Initial planning has already begun, with construction potentially starting as early as next summer. The first phase will include approximately 28 single-family homes and townhomes. There will also be options for accessory dwelling units. Future phases will feature multi-story housing, ground-floor retail, and a 1.5-acre park. City officials highlighted that Miramonte’s focus on infill, mixed-use, and walkable communities aligns perfectly with the city’s vision. The Southgate Triangle is bounded by the Bitterroot Branch Trail and a dense employment center. This presents an ideal opportunity to create a connected, thriving Midtown neighborhood. Commitment to the Missing Middle Kemmerly emphasized Miramonte’s commitment to the “missing middle.” They aim to create homes that are attainable for essential workers, such as nurses. This approach maximizes the potential of already-developed infrastructure. This redevelopment represents a significant step forward for Missoula. It will turn decades of underutilized land into a dynamic, livable community. The project aims to balance housing, commerce, and public spaces. Community Impact and Vision The transformation of the Southgate Triangle is not just about building homes. It’s about fostering a sense of community. The mixed-use design will encourage interaction among residents and businesses. This is essential for creating a vibrant neighborhood. The inclusion of public spaces is another crucial aspect. Parks and communal areas will provide residents with places to gather and enjoy outdoor activities. This will enhance the quality of life for everyone in the area. Economic Growth and Opportunities The development will also stimulate economic growth in Missoula. By creating commercial spaces, it opens the door for new businesses. This will generate jobs and provide services to the community. Moreover, the project aligns with the city’s goals for sustainable growth. It promotes the use of existing infrastructure, reducing the need for new developments in undeveloped areas. This is a win-win for both the environment and the local economy. Conclusion: A New Era for Missoula In conclusion, the redevelopment of the Southgate Triangle is an exciting opportunity for Missoula. It promises to bring new life to a long-neglected area. With Miramonte Companies at the helm, the project is set to create a vibrant, mixed-use community that meets the needs of its residents. As the city moves forward with this initiative, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. The Southgate Triangle could become a model for future developments in Missoula and beyond.
