Kim Burgess With a group as talented as this, it is tough to come up Editor with rankings, but the Idaho Business Review staff carefully Idaho Business Review COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE | Power 25 3 POWER 25 1. TOMMY AHLQUIST In 2005, Dr. Tommy Ahlquist, who started out as a physician, founded Ahlquist Ventures to develop and manage real estate in Idaho. After a stint as COO of the Gardner Company, he later partnered with the CEO of Ball Ventures, Cortney Liddiard, to form Ball Ventures Ahlquist, a medical and commercial real estate development company working in cities around the state. In the years since, the importance of the company’s work has only grown. “Our team is committed to creating partnerships and spaces through com- mercial real estate that inspire and provide value to companies and communi- ties,” Ahlquist said in an emailed statement. “Our projects like Ten Mile Cross- ing, Eagle View Landing, Pioneer Crossing and others provide an opportunity for us to create places of industry that help people.” Ahlquist attributes BVA’s success to its distinctive culture. “BVA’s culture is not for everyone, but the professionals who work for our company are commit- ted to working with ‘kerosene in their veins,’” he said. “We do not meet chal- lenges with negative energy. Instead, we attack challenges with optimism and look for opportunities.” 2. DAVID WALI David Wali has a keen eye for something that flies under people’s radar. “I fixate on parking lots,” he said. Wali works as a development partner in Idaho for Gardner Company, a Utah- based real estate company, and as part of that work, he seeks opportunities to convert parking lots into buildings that serve the community. “There’s a significant difference to a building as opposed to a parking lot,” he said, citing the tax revenue that building owners pay, which is based on the building’s value. By contrast, a parking lot is worth no more than the dirt it’s built on. In one instance, Gardner Company developed two surface parking lots in Boise’s downtown into retail, office and convention space. Currently, it is con- structing a 236-unit apartment building where a 50-year old, 400-space park- ing lot used to be. The land belongs to the Harry W. Morrison Foundation, so Gardner Company will lease the ground, and the proceeds will go toward the foundation’s charitable causes. “It’ll add benefits to the foundation, tax benefits to the community and hous- ing, which is much needed,” Wali said. The new complex is slated for comple- tion in June 2021. 4 Power 25 | COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE POWER 25 3. CLAY CARLEY Old Boise is more than a historic legacy, but a family one, too. Around 1975, Clay Carley’s mother began to “rent, preserve and renovate” decades-old buildings near Main and 6th Street in downtown Boise. In the early 2000s, the torch was passed to Carley, and he has managed Old Boise for 18 years since. What began as a neighborhood master plan designed with condominiums in mind became a project determined to make downtown a place for everyone in the city. Carley wants to see the neighborhood of Old Boise become an “excep- tional blend of architectural interest, tree canopy with a natural environment and a mix of uses and mix of income.” To make this vision come to life, Carley explained that Old Boise is working to develop affordable housing in downtown for people who otherwise couldn’t afford to live in the heart of the city. “I want to increase economic activity just by bringing in new residents and new business,” Carley said. “Each project brings with it commercial activity and residential activity, so that just makes for a more vibrant downtown. Sec- ondly, though, I hope that by providing affordable housing, it informs other property owners downtown to consider doing the same thing.” Carley works for Old Boise with long-term perspective in mind, always thinking about what will keep the neighborhood running smoothly for the fore- seeable future. His mission is rooted in the betterment of Boise in past preser- vation and future perception. 4. SKIP OPPENHEIMER Skip Oppenheimer — together with his brother Doug, a partnership span- ning over 40 years — developed a dynamic, do-it-all business in Oppenheimer Companies, which works across diverse markets from food services to real estate investment. The brothers worked together to develop One Capital Center and the Wells Fargo Building in Boise, The Broadway in Idaho Falls, projects in downtown Caldwell and more. Today, the Oppenheimer Companies includes food ser- vices products and distribution; retail food products; logistics throughout North America; commercial real estate investment and development and property management. “(Hopefully, I) play some small role in providing some contribution to making this a really good place and an even better place to live,” Oppenheimer said. Outside of development, one of Oppenheimer’s passions is education. Roughly 12 years ago, he became the founding chairman of Idaho Business for Education. The organization joins over 220 companies from the state, includ- ing gold trustee Oppenheimer Companies, all of whom have similar goals for improving the future for Idaho’s kids and the quality of the state’s workforce. Oppenheimer has also worked closely with the Greater Boise Area Chamber of Commerce, is part of the board for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francis- co and serves on the board for The Nature Conservancy,

  • Top Idaho GOP Candidates Square Off in Debate
    Top Idaho GOP candidates square off in debate Dave Leroy, former attorney general and former lieutenant governor, at microphone, gives his opening remarks during the first televised GOP debate for Idaho's open 1st Congressional District seat in Meridian, Idaho, Saturday, April 14, 2018. Leroy debated against four other Republican opponents. (AP Photo/Kimberlee Kruesi) Apr 14, 2018 By Kimberlee Kruesi, Associated Press BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Republican Idaho gubernatorial candidate Raul Labrador lobbed familiar criticisms against his opponents Tommy Ahlquist and Brad Little in an otherwise tame town hall debate on Saturday that focused heavily on tax policy and jobs. Labrador, a four-term congressman, repeatedly argued he was the only candidate with integrity. "I've talked to the people of Idaho, what they're looking for is a conservative governor with integrity," Labrador said during his opening remarks. "It's really easy to stand up here and say you're going to do certain things. The hard thing is to actually follow through." Labrador has faced a spike in attack ads targeting everything from Labrador's congressional record to missed votes to his support of President Donald Trump. The ads have largely been funded by a political action committee that supports Ahlquist, a Boise businessman running for political office for the first time. Labrador has previously called the attacks "shameful." "Tommy has flipped-flopped about 10 times in this campaign because he believes he can tell you what you want to hear instead of telling you what he believes," Labrador said. "I have always told you what I believed." Ahlquist responded by calling Labrador a career politician.

  • Thornton Oliver Keller Approved As
    STATE BOARD OF LAND COMMISSIONERS April 19, 2016 Regular Agenda SUBJECT Commercial Real Estate Broker BACKGROUND At its February 16, 2016 meeting, the State Board of Land Commissioners (Land Board) approved the Idaho Department of Lands' (Department) recommendation to hire a qualified investment sales broker to assist in the sale of its commercial property (Attachment 1). Shortly thereafter, the Department and CenturyPacific prepared a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the hiring of a commercial real estate broker (Broker). On March 4, 2016, the Department and CenturyPacific presented to the Land Board's Investment Subcommittee the draft RFP which outlined the scope of work for the Broker, and the process by which the Broker would be selected. The Investment Subcommittee suggested minor changes to the RFP, and recommended that the Department proceed with solicitation. CenturyPacific and the Department sent the RFP to multiple regional and national commercial brokerage firms (Attachment 2). Additionally, the Department provided information and the RFP (Attachment 3) on its website. Advertising for the RFP began on March 4, 2016. Comments and questions were accepted until March 14, 2016. During that time, only one set of questions was posed that required answering. All RFPs were due on March 22, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. (MST). Of the brokerage firms solicited, the Department received four complete proposals. The responding firms were evaluated by Department staff and CenturyPacific. Through its review process, the Department and CenturyPacific recommended three firms to be interviewed. On March 23, 2016, Corbett Bottles, Colliers International, and Thornton Oliver Keller were invited to interview and present their proposals.

Catholic Parishes in Redoubt Insider candidates suffer defeats in both Alabama and Idaho 27 Wednesday Sep 2017 Posted by The Bard of the American Redoubt in American Redoubt, Politics ≈ Comments Off Tags Kootenai County Republican Party, Tommy Ahlquist Last night the Kootenai County Republican Party passed a resolution expressing “…serious concern…” about a Mitt Romney associated #NeverTrump candidate running for governor of Idaho against a pro-Trump liberty loving conservative Raul Labrador. The motion to “…expresses serious concern over Republican gubernatorial candidate Tommy Ahlquist’s repeated and recent support of Democrat candidates who are pro- abortion and are supporters of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama…” and Tommy Ahlquist’s repeated support of open-borders, pro-abortion Democratic candidates over Christian conservative Republicans passed unanimously where more than 90% of the Kootenai Republican Central Committee eligible to vote turned out. I find the similarities between the Idaho Governor’s race and the Alabama Senate race are remarkable. In both races, Mitt Romney and Karl Rove consultants, as well as business interests, have strongly supported their favorite establishment candidate. In Alabama that was Luther Strange, in the Idaho Governor race, this is wealthy #NeverTrump Tommy Ahlquist. Tommy is a doctor and a builder who brags about using taxpayer money to help his businesses succeed. In both cases, the open borders crony-capitalist business crowd is supporting the good ole’ boy, Republican establishment backslapper over the proven conservative. In Alabama it was proven disruptive conservative Roy Moore, in Idaho, it is House Freedom Caucus member Raul Labrador.
