One of the main buildings of the North Meridian Large Orchard Park Development Project has been announced-although we still don't know what will open.

Orchard Park, formerly Linde Village, is a large-scale mixed-use project that includes retail buildings, office space, drive-thru stations, parking lots and future residential developments. It is located at the corner of Chinden Avenue. And Linde Road.

High Desert Development in Boise announced the so-called "Crystal Barn." The developer of Orchard Park signed a contract with the Los Angeles company EC3 to design the project.

EC3 founder Edwin Chan said: "After the pandemic, in a world led by Amazon, our customers realized it was time to reshape the shopping mall's business model." "We are not thinking about maximizing the area of ​​the'point of sale'. Shopping business, but to create an unforgettable place to promote social contact and share the experience for consumers."

The 65,000-square-foot building will consist of two 350-foot parallel structures. There will be various retail spaces in the barn. The press release stated that it will have facilities including a "wave surf pool". EC3 stated that the Idaho Meridian project was inspired by Mass MOCA in Marfa, Texas and North Adams, Massachusetts.
