BTS look at what we’re working on!

 As the writer of a semi-successful business news blog I consider this to be one of my prize possessions, my blog reference book. In it I keep lists of all the area construction projects, new restaurants, people I need to follow up with for information and even projects / new places that I've heard of but need more info before confirming / creating a blog post on. 


Today I decided to deviate from my usual posting style and let my readers know some of the projects in it that I'm keeping track of. It's important to note this is a list of projects that seem to be early in the development process so some might not come to fruition. But, here we go...

- More places are likely coming to the already busy Pointe at Post Falls development. Nom Nom, Discount Tire, a Tru by Hilton hotel and Freddy's Steakburgers have all filed for pre-development meetings with the City of Post Falls in recent weeks.

- Speaking of Post Falls, Houston Hot Chicken is likely going to build a new restaurant near the corner of Hwy. 41 and Mullan Ave.

- Up at the corner of Hwy. 41 and Prairie Ave. in Post Falls work is progressing on a large new commercial development. The first place, a new Peak Fitness is under construction now but Metro Express car wash, Human Bean, McDonald's and an indoor trampoline park business are also likely.

-In Coeur d' Alene development is planned at the corner of US 95 and Neider by the At Home store. Marketing flyers show a building with Chipotle and a Sleep Number store going in there. There is also a big tenant I've heard of going there also but don't want to mention publicly yet.

-A predevelopment meeting was filed in the city center area of Post Falls for a project called "Horn Mixed Use" that would replace the former French Cleaners building on Spokane St. with a new 4 story mixed use building.

- A new Les Schwab tire store and a liquor store anchored strip mall are possible by the corner of Hwy. 41 and Poleline Ave. in Post Falls.

-Heading over to the Spokane area now, the abandoned former Lowe's store in the 6000 block of N. Division looks to be planned to be divided into three separate store spaces. Maybe something is finally coming there? A Floor & Decor store was planned there once but I've seen no movement on that for some time.

- Noticed the Premera Blue Cross office campus on E. Sprague is showing back up as for sale. This might mean we'll see actual construction happening on their large new replacement building in Kendall Yards soonish?

-In the same area as the existing Premera office campus is a filing for a new grocery store. Located at 3907 E. Sprague the new store would be 14,000 SF but little is known about a name or much more.

-The Northeast Spokane PDA has plans to construct a 40-unit apartment building with an on site daycare and PDA office space.

-A large mid-rise mixed-use building is being considered by Greenstone to go into the Kendall Yards business district. While not a full high rise it would be the largest building in the project to date.

-Greenstone is also planning a new mixed-use building coming soon to their NoLL development in Liberty Lake. I've heard it is in the design phase as of the moment.

-Speaking of Liberty Lake, it's basically all but confirmed that a new Costco and TopGolf are being planned to be built on the western edge of the city nearby the I-90 freeway.

-A new 65,000 SF warehouse and possibly a 100 room hotel is being developed near the corner of Country Vista Blvd and Liberty Lake Rd. , next door to the Liberty Lake Business Park development.

-Not far west of the City of Liberty Lake, predevelopment plans have been filed with the City of Spokane Valley for what appears to be a new food truck court called the "Barker Gourmet Hub". The site would be along Barker Rd. south of the I-90 freeway.

-A new Take 5 Oil Change / coffee shop combo similar the one at the corner of Sullivan and Broadway is likely coming to 4603 E. Sprague. The coffee shop name is not mentioned in the plan filings.

-A new 5 story 63 +/- unit apartment building is likely coming nearby the WSU Spokane campus at 643 N. Riverpoint Blvd. . If built it likely won't break ground until next year.

-After many delays The Falls, a 12 story building that will now be all condos is now set to break ground within the next month. This project is along Lincoln, south of the Spokane Arena.

-A project called The Depot at Millenium Monroe is being considered towards the back half of the new Millenium Monroe development in the 2000 block of N. Monroe St. . Plans show it similar to a food hall with 5000 SF and spaces for a few vendors.

-Speaking of the Millenium Monroe development, Uno Mas Taco Shop appears to be planning to open a new restaurant there also.

-Adams Tractor is considering a new $6 million dollar dealership on the West Plains at 8217 W. US 2

And, there's actually more but some I'm not going to mention on here as I will have enough info soon on those to do their own posts. I'm also always looking for tips on these items and any things I don't know about yet.
