Micron’s expansion in southeast Boise is the largest private investment in Idaho history, and it is bringing thousands of construction workers, engineers, contractors and new hires to the Treasure Valley. If you are part of a crew or a relocating team, finding one place where everyone can stay together (and cook, do laundry and actually rest) can be harder than the job itself. Here is a quick guide to the project and how Malibu Manor can help.
What’s happening at Micron’s Boise campus
- Two new memory fabs (ID1 and ID2) are being built at Micron’s Boise headquarters on S Federal Way. Micron broke ground on the first fab in September 2022, an investment of about $15 billion.
- The second Boise fab was added in June 2025 as part of Micron’s expanded U.S. manufacturing plan.
- Federal CHIPS Act support of up to about $6.2 billion was finalized in December 2024 for Micron’s Idaho and New York fabs.
- Timeline: Micron is targeting first wafer output from ID1 in mid-2027 and from ID2 in late 2028.
- More on the way: In August 2026 Micron announced a new Boise research facility, with construction expected to start in 2027.
- Jobs: Micron expects the Idaho expansion to support more than 17,000 jobs, including about 3,500 direct Micron positions.
All of that activity has pushed Boise hotel occupancy and rates up, which is why many crews and project teams are looking at whole-home rentals instead of blocks of hotel rooms.
Why a whole house works better than hotel rooms
- Room for the whole crew: 5 bedrooms plus a game room, sleeping up to 16, so a team can stay under one roof.
- A real kitchen: cook breakfast and pack lunches instead of eating out every meal on long shifts.
- Laundry in the home: wash work clothes without hunting for a laundromat.
- Fast Wi-Fi and a workspace for engineers, PMs and anyone handling reports after hours.
- Parking at the house for multiple vehicles.
- Space to decompress: a big deck with city and Table Rock views, a fire pit and a game room.
- Weekly and monthly discounts when you book direct, plus one point of contact for invoices and extensions.
Getting to Micron from Malibu Manor
Malibu Manor sits in Boise’s Warm Springs foothills. Micron’s campus on S Federal Way is roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive depending on traffic, and Boise Airport is about the same distance. Downtown Boise is about 10 minutes away for dinner after a shift.
