Great Falls, Montana is experiencing an unprecedented demand for housing, particularly workforce housing. With ongoing growth and upcoming projects—such as the missile base expansion, Calumet refinery upgrades, and college expansions—this demand is only expected to rise. A recent 2024 analysis by the Concord Group highlights the housing shortage, reinforcing what many in the industry already know: Great Falls needs more housing.


In response, local developers are stepping up with new apartment projects. Loft 38 Apartments, a 432-unit complex by Reach Development, is planned for the corner of 38th Street N and 2nd Ave N. Set to begin pre-leasing in late 2025 or early 2026, this community will offer modern studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Residents will enjoy premium amenities, including a clubhouse with media and gaming rooms, a coffee bar, a fitness center, a pool, and an outdoor fireplace—creating a comfortable and connected living experience.

Another major development, Discovery Meadows, will bring 252 new units to the northwest corner of 7th Ave N and 52nd St N. This complex, designed to meet market-rate housing needs, will offer a mix of unit sizes along with desirable amenities such as a dog park, ample

parking, and a clubhouse for resident activities.

These developments are vital to replenishing the housing supply in Great Falls. With thoughtful design and premier amenities, they will provide much-needed rental options for the growing population. Ridgeline Real Estate supports these efforts by equipping developers with the insights, resources, and property management expertise necessary for a successful lease-up, stabilization, and long-term growth.


As Great Falls continues to expand, these housing projects will play a crucial role in ensuring the city can accommodate new residents while maintaining a high quality of life.
