The building has received the Orchard Award from Preservation Idaho and received the “Grow Smart” award from Idaho Smart Growth recognizing the mix of uses and urban design.

The project design team, working with the owner, architect and the City of Boise, developed a conceptual and architectural plan consistent with the urban lifestyle of Old Boise. Project tasks included coordinating the project's topographic, boundary survey needs, preparation, assorted site legal descriptions, and construction staking.

Engineering design services included; site grading design, temporary erosion and sedimentation plans, drainage analysis, stormwater conveyance and stormwater mitigation facilities design, water and sewer design, and off-site roadway design.



Project design required extensive underground utilities coordination with the City of Boise Staff,the Ada County Highway District, United Water, DEQ, Idaho Power, Intermountain Gas, and other consultants.

Project tasks included assisting in the pre-planning process and coordinating with the City of Caldwell to develop a conceptual plan that was consistent with development objectives.

The engineering tasks included road and driveway grading, parking lot lay-out, utility infrastructure design, erosion control analysis and design, drainage analysis, and a complete hydrologic report for the site.

The project’s goal was to achieve a site and building design compatible with the LEEDS USGBC guidelines for sustainable building features and practices. The site development team incorporated sustainable design features into its civil site design to asset in this objective, such as on-site stormwater infiltration and an in depth pollution prevention plan.

The Sky Ranch Business Center is the culmination of many years of assembling land parcels, master planning, mapping, zoning and preparing for the products that are now being offered. The Developer’s singular vision is to create a high quality, low cost alternative to existing business parks in the central and eastern Treasure Valley Areas. Sky Ranch is the first major development of its kind in Canyon County.



Sky Ranch Business Center consists of approximately 350 acres of Commercial, Industrial, and Municipal development. This project includes a 65 acre City park, over 80 acres of industrial development, and a projected 1 million square feet of commercial and retail development. In addition, items of interest included the coordination of a regional traffic plan for the project area that required input and coordination with several agencies including the City of Caldwell, Idaho Transportation Department, the Caldwell Airport and various land owners.

After the successful completion of the final plat our staff has been on the design team for several projects within Sky Ranch Business Center including:

• Thomas Jefferson Charter School – 25,000 Sq ft Grade School
• The Idaho Department of Labor Building – 15,000 Sq ft. Office Building
• D&A Commercial Warehouse – 80,000 Sq ft. Warehouse
• Treasure Valley Community College – 60,000 Sq ft. College

Walgreens

Payson, Utah

PDF Download

Located at the intersection of two state highways and surrounded by existing commercial and residential development, Walgreens was a unique project which required demolition of existing buildings, relocation of multiple major utilities, and the integration of grading between the adjacent properties which met by UDOT and Payson City Standards. 

The site required innovative engineering and design in order to provide the required landscape area, parking stalls and floor space within the 1.10 acre lot.  An underground Stormtech system was utilized to detain storm water with no other space available for detention on site.  Coordination between multiple utility companies was required to relocate each individual utility transversing the site.  The frontage at the intersection of the two state highways was improved to the standards of UDOT.  In addition, LEI was responsible for all site surveys (ALTA and Subdivision) as well construction staking of all utilities and grading.

Murnin-Kilgore Property

Park City, Utah
PC Venture Partners

Through a consent decree negotiated with Summit County, the Murnin-Kilgore property zoning was changed to a Commercial Infill zone with a specific designation of Neighborhood Commercial.  The consent decree also established a base density of 74,000 gross square feet of space.  The proposed mixed-use site plan will effectively combine office, restaurant, and retail space consistent with surrounding uses.

The site planning responds to the surrounding context and existing site conditions by proposing regionally appropriate architectural character, providing a large amount of natural open space, and preserving natural vegetation and wetlands.  To reduce the amount of impervious surface required for parking and to meet minimum parking requirements, underground parking will be provided within the building located at the highest elevation of the site.  The additional buildings have been located to maximize frontage along Highway 224, to provide visual and pedestrian connections within the site, and to help screen the parking areas.
