Once home to a large lumber operation called Idaho Veneer, the Millworx development along 4th Ave just south of I-90 in Post Falls is coming together quickly. The project which is being developed and built by Spokane based A&A Construction & Development is planned to be an urban center which once built out promises to have 685 living units and 104,000 SF of new commercial space. The project will offer townhomes, apartments, stores and restaurants in a style similar to Spokane's Kendall Yards development.
The initial phase of townhomes is hitting the market now, and the on-site apartment community called Heartwood at Millworx recently started leasing their studio, 1 and 2 bedroom rental units. A small group of business are also opening there as Shift Fitness recently opened in the same building as the apartments and the former offices of Idaho Veneer are now home to a hot yoga studio and a mental health clinic.
But, what's opening now at Millworx is just the beginning as construction has also recently commenced on the north side of 4th Ave for a large new mixed-use building. Planned at 949 E. 4th Ave the new building will have commercial space on the ground floor and three floors of new apartments built over top. This new building will offer 67 additional apartments and five bays of commercial space for new stores and restaurants, although it's too early to predict exactly what businesses will one day call these spaces home.
Currently the developers plan to have this new addition complete sometime around the Spring of 2025. Additionally, construction is actively continuing immediately to the west of the 949 construction site for a new building that will house Kindred & Co. which will be a bookstore with a cafe set to open later this year. To the east, closer to the corner of 4th & Seltice Way construction is in the planning stages for a new four story 151 room Hyatt Place hotel which should start construction during the spring of 2024 and open in late 2025.
Stay tuned as we plan to keep track of all new construction and developments at Millworx in the coming months. For more information about the project, check out their website at http://millworx.community
