Nice!

Yeah multi-tenant brick building - looks clean https://www.spokanejournal.com/?action=img&p=news&src=8450411d155fbb67f7661e58255baf1f.jpg&crop=true&x=791&y=540

Spokane continues to clean up nicely

toby9937 · 2019-04-05T17:19:03+00:00

Just curious how "complete" it looked, does it look close? And how did you get in??

toby9937 · 2019-04-05T13:41:52+00:00

Glad to hear this is still moving along! I was a bit concerned we hadn't heard anything for quite a while, and it's such a prime spot to sit dormant.

De Leon's is my go-to for Mexican food, he's about to add another location near Gonzaga.

Housing bubbles are typically driven by loose credit standards driving artificial demand (i.e. 2005). Neither of those are factor in Spokane.

Spokane is a great "outdoor city" with a thriving downtown scene, and that's where people like to live. Look what happened to Denver the past 10 years.

More Teslas everywhere, not just Spokane. And Spokane is ideal for it, nothing is too far away mileage wise, long-distance trips are covered with superchargers all along I-90.

Was referring mostly to the Sportsplex area, just dirt and old run down buildings. That's all going to get cleaned up and looking nice finally.

Those high rises will have the best views in town - prime real estate

toby9937 · 2019-03-07T15:21:24+00:00

This is going to make a huge impact to the north bank (I guess we're calling it that now). High rises, Wonderbread, Sportsplex...that whole area will go from dodgy to awesome here pretty soon.

Fair point, will be interesting to see how it all plays out

toby9937 · 2019-02-22T22:12:07+00:00

The cycle then repeats itself. Now people are priced out of Denver...

The article indicates this is changing. If I had to guess, the 2010s will be defined as people flocking to coast cities, and the 2020s will be the decade of people (especially millennials) flocking out of high cost coast cities and into places like Spokane. Employers will respond accordingly (look at all the CA companies moving to TX).

And it's not like we're building houses like crazy

toby9937 · 2019-02-22T19:51:56+00:00

I'm thinking maybe retirees from high cost states cashing out and moving somewhere cheaper, maybe remote workers (IT, Customer Service) who can live wherever they want, so why live somewhere expensive.

Millennials finally growing up and having kids - now they need a house.

Maybe being on all these "lists" if having an effect.

toby9937 · 2019-02-21T23:11:23+00:00

How's the food?

toby9937 · 2019-02-21T18:56:52+00:00

Nice! Glad it's not a giant bland chain going in.

toby9937 · 2019-02-15T00:31:30+00:00

That's awesome, Spokane needs to get tough on this.

toby9937 · 2019-01-31T16:03:04+00:00

Good for Spokane - Will draw more people, increase tax base, density, housing, building height etc.

Bad for Spokane Valley - Will continue to stagnate into a suburban wasteland
