One Capital Center

One Capital Center is a 14-story office building in downtown Boise with a glass and concrete exterior that stands out in the skyline. The structure contains office space throughout, with ground-level commercial and dining spaces that open directly to the street.

Mountain Bell built this tower in 1975 as one of Boise's first modern office buildings, signaling the city's push toward downtown redevelopment. The project marked a turning point when Boise began to reshape its downtown with contemporary architecture.

This building shaped Boise's identity as a modern business center and serves as a meeting point for professionals from many sectors. The lobby and street-level spaces reflect how the city sees itself as a forward-thinking place.

The building sits in the heart of downtown Boise and is easy to reach on foot from the main streets. The ground-floor dining spaces welcome walk-in visitors and offer convenient options for lunch or a quick meal.

Since 2009, peregrine falcons have nested on the building's top floor, which is unusual for an industrial structure in a city. A live camera feed allows visitors and bird watchers to observe their behavior from anywhere.
