If you drive the Ten Mile exit off I-84, you have probably noticed that empty field sitting there for a while. That is the future home of the District at Ten Mile Meridian Idaho, and it is not going to be empty much longer.
It is a 222-acre mixed-use development from Ball Ventures Ahlquist, and it is shaping up to be one of the biggest projects the Treasure Valley has ever seen.
Here is what is planned:
- Idaho’s largest Target
- Life Time Fitness
- Hyatt Hotels
- Restaurants, retail, and Class A office space
- Around 1,800 apartments and townhomes
- Light industrial space
Think Village of Meridian, but about 2.5 times the footprint.
Developer Tommy Ahlquist has called the District at Ten Mile Meridian the geographic center of the Treasure Valley, positioned right where the growth from Nampa and Caldwell meets the east side of the valley. With Highway 16 coming in from the north, the logic holds.
Sound familiar?
It should. The Village of Meridian went through the same buildout cycle and the neighborhoods around it appreciated steadily as the development filled in. The Ten Mile corridor looks like it is setting up the same way, just bigger.
The developer has targeted 2026 for the first retail pad deliveries, with the full buildout happening in phases over several years. This is not a distant vision. It is happening now.
What Does This Mean for Nampa?
The District at Ten Mile sits right on the edge of the Canyon County line. For Nampa residents, that means a major retail and entertainment destination is about to land practically in your backyard, without the Nampa address.
That kind of amenity growth on the east side of Canyon County tends to push homebuyer interest westward. People who want to be close to the action but get more home for their money start looking at Nampa. It has happened before as Meridian grew, and the Ten Mile corridor is the next logical chapter.
