Aaker is led by three guiding principles: create diverse housing and commercial opportunities, enhance and preserve the existing natural systems, and enhance the overall community connectivity. The project now invites developers to join Aaker in embodying the character of Bozeman with a selection of highly flexible lots available for sale or ground lease.
Melding a cohesive, mixed-use destination with Bozeman’s outdoor essence, Aaker is poised to shift the market’s center of gravity to meet the mindset of modern consumers and residents. The first phase spans 31.7 acres and is reserved for residential developments, both for lease and sale, with a potential density of 500 units and 40,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. The residential area, as with every phase of Aaker, will be proliferated with green space and amenities.
In capturing the recreation-minded spirit of Bozeman, nature takes center stage with additions like trails from main street to the mountains, climbing walls, community gardens, fire pits, and incorporated ways to explore the wetlands. These fixtures will be harmoniously intertwined with office hubs, destination retailers, everyday shops, alley cafes, eclectic restaurants, entertainment options, and more.
Bozeman’s economic indicators herald a continuation of its roaring growth across an array of measurements. The strong and diverse mix of sectors has long been led by tourism, but a significant rise in the tech industry has made Bozeman a prominent destination for related companies. Whereas outdoor hubs like Big Sky Resort and Yellowstone long drove employment, businesses and professional centers such as Oracle, Bridger Aerospace, Quiq, S2, and the Headwaters Regional Technology and Innovation Hub are now brimming with well-educated, affluent workers.
Aaker has several facets that will attract these companies and workers, with an Opportunity Zone designation, amenities at the doorstep of workplaces or homes, and a location connected to all Bozeman has to offer. Montana State University is virtually adjacent to Aaker, three major outdoor destinations can be reached in 50 minutes are less, and Downtown Bozeman, the airport, or Bozeman Medical are within a 15-minute drive. Even though Aaker is in an area largely occupied by MSU students and outside of established, concentrated residential hubs, population growth in the vicinity has skyrocketed. The number of households within a mile radius grew by almost 60% from 2010 to 2023 and is projected to jump another 10.5% by 2028. Make a mark on Bozeman and ride its flourishing economy to success by developing at Aaker today.
