The changes continue at the Franklin Park Shopping Center, located in the 5000 block of N. Division in Spokane. The development, which has been a part of the community for decades is home to major national retailers like Ulta Beauty, Trader Joe's, Guitar Center and others. But it's owners New York based Kimco Realty Corp. are investing in changes and bringing in a couple of new tenants.
A few weeks it was announced that a new Boot Barn and a Bath & Body Works would join the in-line space there. Taking up a portion of the strip that was vacated by the recent closure of the Bed, Bath & Beyond store. But now a new change is also on the table as the current Burlington store is planned to move from their own stand-alone building nearby into the remaining 22,800 square feet of space that was formerly the Bed, Bath & Beyond store. Powell Construction of Bellevue will be the general contractor for the new Burlington store with design work done by MCG Architecture of Cleveland,OH.
We're also getting a peek at the plans for the soon to be vacated Burington Store as pre-development plans we're recently filed the City of Spokane to convert the 141,666 square foot structure at 5830 N. Division into a large self-storage development. The new storage facility isn't permitted yet and won't be able to be built out until the new smaller Burlington store opens but currently the plans call for adding a 1,000 square foot office on the north side of the building. Then building out 926 storage units of various sizes on both the first and second floors. No business name or contractor is included in the plans however design work for the project is being done by Seattle based Jackson Main Architecture.
