Historic Downtown building re-opens as a new apartment building called SoDo Commons
The building at 410 W. 3rd Ave in Spokane's SoDo area has been apartments for a long time. But, the building, which was known as the Danmore Apartments has undergone a top to bottom renovation and has now re-opened as a exciting hip new apartment complex called SoDo Commons.
Even the outside has been transformed and now the exterior totes a dark red and black look that really makes the building stand out. The renovations come after the building was acquired by Chris Batten, a local developer who owns RenCorp Realty,LLC . As part of Batten's renovations the building has been converted to " micro apartments ". SoDo Commons has 32 such apartments, all studio units which are 350-450 square feet and will be available for move in at the beginning of December.
The apartments at SoDo Commons feature exposed brick, hardwood floors, euro style cabinets with quartz counters, stainless appliances and dishwashers. There has also been a number of upgrades to the bathrooms as well. The entire building has a totally different vibe and will surely prove attractive to those looking for apartments in Downtown Spokane.
The building itself now has a clubroom, workout facility , onsite laundry, secure entry with 24 hour video surveillance and a common outdoor patio with grill. But, while the building is cool, the location makes it all worth while with the Downtown core within walking distance. The schools that make up the University District are just a short drive away and public transit via STA is everywhere in the area.
The re-development of this building is just one of three projects aimed at breathing new life in this section of Downtown Spokane. Directly next door HDG Architecture recently renovated the building that once housed Carr's Corner bar into new offices for them and their sister company Propaganda Creative and a selection of other business tenants. Just feet away from there at 327 W. 3rd Ave. another ownership change has resulted in a renovations to that building as well. That building is being called the Third & Washington Building and still features some of the same business tenants but also has a large space for lease where they are hoping to lure a new restaurant tenant.
If your interested in renting an apartment at SoDo Commons call 509-280-8166 . Rent is currently at $650 per month.
Note: I am not affliated with the landlord or anyone involved.

Nike Store will be tenant of former Downtown Spokane Macy's building
While the retail tenants are not planned to open till at least Spring of next year, construction is still pushing forward at the former Macy's store building in Downtown Spokane. The building is now named The M and will have retail / restaurant tenants on street level and 100+ modern looking apartments on the floors above. And, now we've learned who one of the businesses planning to open there will be.
Building permits have been filed ( but not yet issued as of my writing this ) to build out a portion of the space for a new Nike store. The permit is for a 12,168 square foot space meaning it won't be the only store to open there. However no other tenants have been announced or leaked yet.
This would be the only Nike store in the Inland Northwest. Currently there closest store is in Seattle and an outlet store in Auburn,WA. Nike stores sell the full line of Nike products from shoes to sports apparel and accessories and allow customers shop with training product experts.
We'll have more soon as this is a developing story, watch for updates to this post.

Calling all java junkies! New coffee shops opening up around Spokane / Coeur d' Alene
Cedar Coffee now open on N. Monroe
Coeur Coffeehouse was a favorite for many at 701 N. Monroe at the north bank of Monroe St. Bridge. Coeur, however abruptly closed their doors back in April. But coffee is coming back to the space as after some remodeling new owners Igor & Iryna Anisimov have stepped and saved the day so to speak.
The couple, who are natives of Ukraine, have taken over the space and opened an all new coffee house called Cedar Coffee. Of course Cedar Coffee serves an array of espresso drinks using Roast House Coffee but also loose leaf tea's from Davidson's Organic Tea and chai from Mandala Chai Co. which is based here in Spokane. There is even baked goods from Common Crumb Artesian Bakery also from right here in Spokane.
If you want to know more about Cedar Coffee, look them up on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/coffeeatcedar
And, check out these quick little videos made by the non-profit Snap who financed this business. They are somewhat like ad's for Snap but they show a bit about Cedar and who the owners are...

Part 3 seems to not be out yet...
Ladder Coffee & Toast opens in North Spokane
Ladder Coffee & Toast isn't a big place, in fact it's just a drive up coffee stand by a shopping center at 603 W. Hastings Rd in North Spokane. But, for it's owners it's probably the biggest thing ever. That's because their coffee business is like a second chance for co-owner Aaron Rivkin who is a 2 time felon and former heroin addict who came upon the coffee industry a few years ago for a job while turning his life back around. The plan now is to use this new business as a way to people a second chance with job and life skills and even teach community members about how to start a business of their own.
Ladder started as a "pop up " style of coffee shop and this is it's first permanent location. Ladder Coffee & Toast serves a number of unique espresso drinks, teas and chai from Mandala Chai Co. . And, as mentioned in the name ... yeah, toast! A few specialty toast options are also offered.
For more information on Ladder Coffee & Toast, find them on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/laddercoffee

College Avenue Apartments- that hip new apartment building going in just outside Kendall Yards
TCould the development boom of Kendall Yards finally be breaking out of it's borders and bringing improvements to the West Central neighborhood?
If you've driven by the corner of Adams & College you'll see the first such project that we think will just be the beginning of new modern urban development in that area. Sure, Kendall Yards proper is just on the opposite side of College Ave from this project, but on the north side is what will soon be the brand new 3 story College Avenue Apartments .
The new apartment complex will offer 27 apartments owned by Centennial Properties who along with local firm HDG Architecture have designed a new multi-family housing complex that one would expect of larger cities like Seattle or Portland. Vandervert Construction is the contractor and work is happening as we speak on the apartments which will be " market rate ". The units are currently scheduled to be available for lease in Q1 of 2018.
The building as a whole is about 33,000 square feet and the apartments will all range around 1,000 square feet each. All apartments will be 2 bedroom, 2 bath and while we don't know the rental rate just yet HDG's website claims the end user will have " reasonable rental rates ". Limited surface parking will also be available on the back side of the new building ( 27 spaces, so 1 per apartment ).
Watch for future updates as the new College Avenue Apartments opens and starts leasing....

Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse to anchor new strip mall in Liberty Lake
In case you missed the news a small chain of Hibachi style grill restaurants is opening a new location in Liberty Lake. The restaurant , which is called Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse has already been under construction for a little while now. But, while many are aware of the new Fujiyama location it's not all that's being built at the same site.
The building is actually a strip mall, the first class A retail building to be built in Liberty Lake since 2008. The new restaurant will take about 6000 square feet and another about 6000 square feet of space is for lease with 2 separate suites available. There have been no tenants announced for those two spaces however a leasing marketing PDF we've uncovered it shows the eastern side of the new building is already leased.

Just to the east of Yoke's in Spokane Valley's Argonne Village shopping center construction is underway for a new building. The new 10,500 square foot building will be an expansion of the shopping center being marketed Building J .
The new 10,500 square foot structure will house a few business with about half of the building already leased. The eastern half will become a Snap Fitness gym, similar to all other Snap Fitness locations. The entire building is to be completed sometime in December and is the remaining spaces are up for lease through Kiemle & Hagood with spaces going for $18 per square foot.
While this building is already under construction another new building is also in the works. That building will be Building H or " the annex " . This building is also already being leased with 9000 square feet available and divisible down to 1300 square feet. There are no tenants announced for this section of Argonne Village just yet or a completion date but interestingly enough one of those storefronts will have a drive thru indicating it may one day be home to a new restaurant.
There are also a couple of other active vacancies in the existing sections of the Argonne Village development. But, as a whole the center is almost completely full with larger tenants like Yoke's and Dollar Tree down to smaller tenants like MetroPCS and more. There also are a few restaurants like Panda Express, Subway, Ambrossia Bistro and more.

New flex space buildings & apartment complex coming just north of Wal-Mart in Post Falls
For the last few years the land along Cecil Rd. about 1/4 miles north of the Mullan Ave. Wal Mart in Post Falls has sat vacant. Part of the area was once a park of baseball diamonds that are now overgrown and to the south is a stalled development of offices with just one building that also has been empty for quite sometime now.
But life will soon return to both parcels. The stalled project, with it's dead end Quad Park Ct. running through it will soon be home to 2 "flex space" buildings. Construction will start soon on the 2 new buildings with a total 16,000 square feet of space, all up for lease. The buildings are to be divided into suites of 1790 to 2640 square feet that can be combined into a larger space. The suites will have a private office area, ADA bathroom and a open insulated warehouse that can be accessed via 16x14 foot roll up doors. Being "flex space" the suites will be open to tenants of both commercial and light industrial uses.
To the north of the flex space buildings where the overgrown baseball diamonds are will be a new apartment complex. That project is currently out to bid and will be called the Crossroads Apartments. The Crossroads Apartment complex will be a HUD insured market rate apartment development with 144 apartments, garages and a clubhouse building.
The area around the Mullan Ave. Wal Mart has really transformed over the last few years with several new commercial buildings springing up. Construction is also underway now to the east of Wal Mart along Mullan for a new location for Coachman Auto Body, Findlay Auto Group recently acquired a building to the west and will open a new commercial truck sales dealership there very soon. There is always lots happening around Post Falls so keep watching this site for more details on all the new developments and all other areas around the Inland Northwest. BIG things are in store....

New strip mall is complete and ready for tenants at Park & Broadway inthe Valley
Construction first started on a new neighborhood strip mall at the corner of Broadway & Park in Spokane Valley all the way back in 2015. But, for an unknown reason construction came to a stand still after the site work was done.
But, now construction has re-started and the new strip mall is almost complete. There has been much speculation about what businesses will open there, but just like a couple of other local projects recently, this project appears to be being built on speculation. This we've come across the marketing documents showing no leased space. However, I'm sure there has been interest.
The new strip mall is located at 806 N. Park and was developed by the Headwater Development Group. The complex is actually 2 buildings, 1 building being just shy of 7500 square feet with as many a six storefronts. A second 1,821 square foot building would likely have just 1 tenant meaning it could be ideal for a restaurant, this space even already has a drive thru.
Two pad sites are also available in the front of the main building facing Park Rd. . Spaces are leasing through NAI Black for $18-$22 per square foot NNN . While a good portion of the surrounding area is residential and light industrial the building is across from a 7-11 and just west of the I-90 / Broadway interchange. Signage and a surface parking lot are also available on site for all future tenants.
For more information about opening / moving a business to this new plaza contact NAI Black at 509-622-3562 or http://www.naiblack.com
