Project Narrative
Application 19262
Nexus Point is a planned mixed-use residential/office community to be built on an approximate
20 acre tract of land zoned R-O in the City of Bozeman. Nexus Point was crafted to address the
growing needs of the Bozeman community. The project is designed in a responsible manner,
maximizing scarce land resources suitable for development by focusing on density and efficient
land use, while forming an exceptional live-work-play environment. Trail corridors run along the
entire length of the east and west property boundaries, as well as through the center of the newly
planned Lantern Park, the north 1/2 of which is part of the Nexus Point development scope.
These trail corridors allow for pedestrian and bicycle traffic - separate and away from automobile
traffic - and provide for excellent circulation throughout the project area and beyond.
Phase I of the Nexus Point project is residential and consists of 120 multi-residential dwelling
units (all 3-story), plus an approximate 9,900 square foot 2-story community building for
resident use. The project also includes development of a highly-amenitized public park featuring
playground structure, locally-manufactured bouldering rock, community pavilion, picnic tables,
benches and bike racks and a fitness trail with outdoor exercise equipment, as well as other
enclaves for public enjoyment.
Below is a description of the first phase.
Phase I - Community Building plus 120 Apartments
• Community Building - The community building will feature a gym, outdoor
pool with BBQ area, media room, game room, as well as lounge and dining
areas - both indoor and outdoor - for resident use. The community building
will also house leasing offices and a conference room. The community
building is a 2-story contemporary structure with a flat membrane roof, having
an overall height of 30’ 3-3/4” to top of parapet.
• Two 3-story 24-plex walk-up structures with a combination of shed and gable
roofs, having an overall height of 37’ 0-3/8” to top of roof. There are three
types of units within the 24-plex buildings:
(i) 50% - 940 square foot 2-bed 1-bath apartments;
