As the snow melts, builders gear up for a robust construction season. Although building at Mountain View Meadows continues throughout the year, several weeks of Arctic blasts hindered progress on existing projects and forced attention onto less inspiring tasks such as relentless snow removal. This break in weather allows crews to get back into the groove on two exciting projects in the Crossroads Commercial neighborhood. Phase I of a nine-building apartment complex developed under the helm of Dick Anderson Construction is taking shape just north of Alice St. “D & M Development is excited to create Confluence Apartments, an upscale living community to complement the surrounding neighborhood,” said Mark Esponda, Vice President, Dick Anderson Construction. “The units will be focused on quality materials and community-oriented activities. We are in Phase I of the project and will deliver 109 luxury units around April of 2026. When all three phases are completed, there will be 324, two-bedroom/two-bathroom units. The apartments will have a community workout center and room for ample outside activities.” But that’s not all for Dick Anderson Construction. Across the street, progress continues on the beautiful Great West Engineering headquarters designed by Mosaic Architecture with a targeted November completion date. The new 21,000 SF building is nestled into the Mountain View Meadows development thoughtfully and purposely utilizing the natural topography and the incredible views of Helena’s Sleeping Giant as the initial site inspiration. The three-story structure was designed as a collaborative-type office, with free-flowing daylight and an open industrial atmosphere with exposed structure and integrated details using components of Great West Engineering’s industry into the architecture of the interior design. “Mosaic Architecture is excited for Great West Engineering staff as their new design is embedded with their care and consideration as a workplace with a sense of community,” said principal architect, Nick Diggins. With quality and excellence in the forefront, these two outstanding projects are a welcome asset to the Crossroads Commercial neighborhood at Mountain View Meadows offering better opportunities for quality jobs and expanded housing options to benefit the greater Helena community.
