Yes. You are welcome to work with the real estate agent of your choice, and we offer 2.5% buyer-broker compensation. Our recommended agent is Tyler Eisenzimmer with PureWest Christie’s International Real Estate.

Tyler is also offering buyers he represents a fully installed washer and dryer set as a closing gift.

Yes. Higgins Waterfront is the overall district, and The Archie is its residential component. The Archie includes up to 80 residences offered for sale. Higgins Waterfront encompasses the residences, hotel, retail, restaurants, rooftop bar, and parking on the site.

The Archie offers three primary residence types. Most of the building consists of standard single-level residences, primarily on Levels 2 and 3. The penthouses are located on Level 4 and feature higher ceilings with no residence above them. The project also includes distinctive two-story, townhome-style condominium residences.

Every residence includes a Bosch appliance suite. Buyers may upgrade to Thermador, select certain larger appliances, or add bar appliances. Details and available options can be found in the Selections and Additions Brochure. Click here to view the Selections and Additions Brochure.

The amenities and common areas currently planned for The Archie can be found on our Amenities page. Click here to view the Amenities page.

The townhome-style residences are condominiums designed to feel more like single-family living. Each is two stories, with the kitchen and living areas on one floor and the bedrooms on the other, creating a layout designed for entertaining. The north-facing townhomes on Levels A1 and A2 have North facing downtown and river views, with the kitchen and living areas on the upper floor to take advantage of those views. They also include private patios and private entrances. Five additional townhome-style residences span Levels 1 and 2; the east-facing Townhomes on level 1/2 include private, fenced patios with east river and Mt Jumbo views. Townhomes on Level 1/2 that front Fourth Street also have private entrances.

Because the site slopes toward the Clark Fork River, the north and south sides of The Archie show different portions of the building. From the north, along the Clark Fork River, the building appears as six stories: two levels of townhomes with four levels above. From the south, along 4th Street and Higgins Avenue, the townhome levels are no longer visible, so the building appears as four stories. Click here to use the Residences Tool.

The easiest way to see which residences have river views is to use the interactive tool on the “Residences” page. Click “Map View” at the top of the page, filter by level, and select a residence to see where it is located on the site and the direction and views it will have.

Construction is currently expected to begin in Q2 2027.

The current construction timeline is approximately 18 months.

HOA fees will be based on each residence’s proportionate share. The specific allocation and additional details will be included in The Archie condominium declaration, which is expected to be provided to all buyers within the next few months as the design work progresses.

Short-term rentals would either be prohibited or limited to no more than 60 days per calendar year. Final requirements will be established in The Archie’s condominium documents.

Two levels of underground parking, A1 and A2, are located below Level 1.

Each residence will have the opportunity to lease up to two parking stalls. A third stall may also be available, subject to availability.

Parking will cost approx $150 per stall, per month.

Yes. The parking garage will include community EV charging stalls with designated chargers. The HOA will be able to add more EV charging stalls over time based on usage and demand.

Yes. Storage will be available for lease in the parking garage.

A condominium declaration is a principal legal document that establishes the condominium and explains how it will operate. It typically identifies the units and common elements and addresses ownership interests, maintenance responsibilities, assessments, insurance, use restrictions, voting rights, and the authority of the homeowners association.

The Archie condominium declaration is expected to be provided within the next few months as we continue through the process.

Think of this as a standard document-review period. Under Montana law, you have 72 hours after receiving certain required condominium documents to review them before the Buy-Sell Agreement becomes effective. During that period, you may decide not to proceed and withdraw without penalty. If you continue, the agreement becomes effective after the 72-hour period according to its terms. The Buy-Sell Agreement and Addendum will explain the exact process.

To help potential buyers understand what a condominium declaration looks like and the type and level of detail it contains, we are providing The Reed condominium declaration as an example. It applies only to The Reed and will differ in many respects from The Archie’s final declaration, but it illustrates the general framework buyers can expect.
