Blackwood Groves

Bozeman, MT
Blackwood Groves is a new and unique mixed-use community located just south of Montana State University and downtown Bozeman, Montana. With a desire to create a community that sits distinctly apart from other new master-planned communities, Bridger Land Group partnered with KTGY to plan and design a mix of for-rent and for-sale housing that meets the diverse needs of those living in the region. KTGY’s Community Planning and Urban Design studio was brought in to enhance the master plan and create a community that sets itself apart.

KTGY planners and architects brought forward their expertise to meld different product — something that Bridger Land Group was attracted to. Specifically, the team leveraged their innovative thinking around single-family build-to-rent and for-sale housing. It isn’t just about the type of home but also how each lives and interacts with the others. This effort was a careful collaboration between the planning and architectural teams. With a focus on views and balancing public and private outdoor space, KTGY created something genuinely inspiring.

 

 

What made this project successful was the partnership KTGY built with the client, Bridger Land Group. Furthermore, the client was just as dedicated as KTGY was to establishing a strong sense of place. The client’s goal was to create a fully connected, thoughtful and inviting community. Above all, Bridger Land Group’s attention to detail, excitement for creative design, and commitment to the resident experience was inspiring. From build-to-rent cottages to traditional front-loaded single-family homes, there is something for everyone.
