For nearly a decade, Bozeman residents have driven down North 7th Avenue past the 31-acre vacant lot where Kmart once stood and wondered, "What's next?" That question now has a 1-million-square-foot answer: Bozeman Square.

This massive, phased project is poised to become one of Bozeman's most significant developments, transforming the empty asphalt into a vibrant, mixed-use district. Led by developer I.J. Barkan, Inc., the project is not just filling a void; it's creating a new anchor for Bozeman's Midtown corridor.

Here is everything you need to know about the Bozeman Square development:

If you're a parent in Gallatin or Park counties, you know the feeling. The endless waitlists. The constant calls. The high-stakes lottery of finding a safe, affordable, and available childcare spot for your child. It’s a stressful, overwhelming process that can feel like a full-time job in itself.

In a region where the cost of infant care can rival college tuition and 61% of families live in a "childcare desert"—with far more children than licensed spots—this isn't just a family issue. It's a community and economic crisis.
