Southgate Crossing and Neighborhood Park
Missoula Mayor Andrea Davis is pleased to announce that the City of Missoula is working with Miramonte Companies on a development plan for the City-owned Southgate Crossing property on Missoula’s southwest side.
The Concept
The initial concept includes housing and commercial development, along with a public park of approximately 1.5 acres. Neighbors in the area will collaborate in a public engagement process with Missoula Parks and Recreation and Missoula Redevelopment Agency staff to develop a concept design for the park, likely beginning in October. The new homes will include rental and ownership opportunities.
The development concept aligns with extensive outreach and public processes during the past two years, including

The project also draws on recommendations from Mayor Davis’ Task Force on City Lands Redevelopment, which calls for strategies that provide a clear, actionable approach for leveraging City-owned properties to meet near- and long-term community goals and deliver lasting public benefit.
The 13.5-acre Southgate Crossing is strategically located for potential connection to Brooks Street from South Avenue. The City purchased it last winter. It is a keystone property in the development of Midtown. The City’s involvement allows the City to invest in necessary infrastructure.
The City has an exclusive agreement with Miramonte to negotiate a purchase and sale agreement and a development agreement.
