About Avimor
The master-planned community of Avimor will take shape over several years in the foothills northwest of Boise , Idaho , adjacent to Highway 55. The first phase of construction is planned to begin Spring 2006, culminating with a model home grand opening in early 2007. The planned community will feature approximately 684 homes, as well as commercial and community facilities on about 830 acres. SunCor Idaho , LLC, an Eagle, Idaho-based company established in 2003, and its parent, SunCor Development Company, are recognized as conscientious, community-minded corporate citizens and quality community builders. The companies’ resolve to complement rather than compete with existing land, and its commitment to enhance recreational use of the Boise Front foothills, ensure that the Avimor community will be an outstanding residential community in a resort-like setting.
