Tenants start moving into Bozeman’s 112-unit Compass Apartments

The general contractor said Nov. 9 that the five-story building on North 25th Avenue has its occupancy. A summer pipeline report had forecast a November finish.

Compass Apartments, a 112-unit building on Bozeman’s north side, has its occupancy and tenants have started moving in, the general contractor said this week.

Lyon Contracting wrote Nov. 9 that the project “has gained its occupancy and tenants have been moving in.” The Minnesota-based builder described a five-story building with covered, heated parking at grade, at 1625 N. 25th Avenue. A leasing number listed with the post is (406) 582-7490, and the company pointed renters to compassbzn.com.

That timing matches a forecast in MMG Real Estate Advisors’ third-quarter pipeline report, which listed Compass as under construction with a November 2026 completion. The report’s project table was assembled Aug. 19, so it did not reflect the occupancy announcement.

Compass is one of several Bozeman buildings that were still in that pipeline over the summer, including Wallace Works and The Oxbow Phase II, both listed with September 2026 completions. MMG’s separate market report, which looks only at Billings, Missoula and Great Falls, had already described construction in those three cities as having run its course. Bozeman was never in that narrower slice.

The contractor’s notice is not a city certificate posted in a public database, and it does not say how many units have been leased. It does say the building is open to tenants, which is the fact most people looking for a place on the north side actually need.
