West Elm Opens First Store in Idaho

by Nellie Day June 16, 2016

BOISE — Home furnishings retailer West Elm recently opened its first Idaho store in downtown Boise. The location is 14,158 square feet. West Elm incorporated wooden “Tater Blocks” salvaged from the renovation of Simplot’s Caldwell-based potato storage facility into the store’s custom interior design. The blocks, once used as industrial flooring for potato storage facilities, have been repurposed to create an art installation at the new store. Headquartered in Brooklyn, N.Y., West Elm opened its first store in 2003 in DUMBO, the neighborhood it still calls home. The brand operates 87 retail stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, and ships internationally. The company also operates stores in Mexico, the Middle East and Philippines through unaffiliated franchisees. West Elm is a member of the Williams-Sonoma Inc. portfolio of brands.

Much of this new development is coming in from California, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Tenants are making deals again. Anchor tenants in second-generation space are looking in that $8-per-square-foot to $11-per-square-foot range for larger spaces. Shop spaces in A+ locations are still demanding high $20 per square foot lease rates and even into the low $30 per square foot for the higher-end projects like Meridian Town Center and the Whole Foods/Walgreens developments in Boise.
