A 400-acre planned community is under way in Idaho Falls.

Developer Ball Ventures began demolition work for one of the first phases of Snake River Landing on June 28. Townhouses, apartments, condominiums and other housing types are planned on 135 acres of the development, situated along the Snake River. Ball Ventures is still completing its master plan and does not know how many homes will be in the development, Vice President of Development Eric Isom said.

More than 400,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurants are planned. Tenants would include First American Title, Iggy’s Sports Grill, Hard Hat Steakhouse and Grill, Potandon Produce and Ball Ventures’ corporate offices, according to Isom. Two office buildings are already under construction.
The development would stretch from Pancheri Drive to Sunnyside Road, close to Interstate 15.
Snake River Landing would include a greenbelt, trails and public parks, including a nearly 10-acre park by the river on land donated by The Smith Group to the city of Idaho Falls. It could also include a convention center, events center or recreation facility. Ball Ventures has set aside land for a community center of some kind and has offered it to the Idaho Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Construction of two major roads in the development is nearly complete, and work is under way on sidewalks, landscaping and a pier on the Snake River.
