Idaho’s population surpassed 2 million residents in 2025, providing a strong foundation for grocery, restaurant, medical, service and neighborhood-oriented retail uses. However, population growth alone no longer guarantees project success. Elevated construction and financing costs have made retailers and developers increasingly selective, placing greater emphasis on access, visibility, traffic patterns and regional drawing power. Treasure Valley Remains the Development Leader The Treasure Valley continues to receive the greatest volume of retail construction and leasing activity in Idaho. Major projects like the District at Ten Mile in Meridian reflect the growing preference for mixed-use destinations that combine retail, dining, fitness and services.
