Long-time tenant Urban Outfitters will leave downtown Boise’s BoDo commercial district to relocate at The Village at Meridian.

The Village announced that Urban Outfitters will open in a 10,000-square-foot space in front of Z Gallerie in August.

Urban Outfitters has been a BoDo tenant since 2007. The Philadelphia-based retailer’s lease on 10,141 square feet ended at the end of last year and the store is now operating on a six-month extension, said Kelly Schnebly, property manager at Colliers International, which manages BoDo.

Urban Outfitters did not respond to calls from the Idaho Business Review.

Other recent BoDo departures include the Snake River Winery tasting room in March, and the Boise State University store, which is moving soon to the Clearwater Building. Jos. A. Bank, an original BoDo tenant from late 2005, closed a year ago.

Urban Outfitters is the second national retailer along with Anthropologie in recent years to move from downtown Boise to the Village at Meridian.
