Heritage Square is poised to become downtown Meridian’s vibrant new heartbeat, transforming a once-dormant site into a mixed-use hub with offices, shops, and 250+ apartments—all designed to knit living, working, and playing together right in the city’s core. Developed by Ahlquist and The Pacific Cos., the project includes a lively public plaza, pedestrian pathways, and community art spaces, with construction slated to begin in early 2027. With a track record of breathing life into abandoned urban spaces—including the former “Boise Hole”—these developers are once again turning underused land into a source of pride for the whole community.
