NAMPA, Idaho — Developers are demolishing the Edwards Cinema in Nampa to make space for the newly renamed Sugar District, which may include multi-family housing.
Real estate development company Gardener Group purchased the lot in 2021, and the theater closed the following year. In 2022, the Nampa City Council approved a modified development agreement, allowing the site to become a mixed-use development.
The lot sat vacant for many years. With the buildings not being reused, developers have now begun demolition.
City records show housing-related applications were filed in 2022, but no concrete plans have been made.
