AHBL Inc., a Tacoma-based landscape architecture, engineering, and land-surveying firm, has moved its Spokane office to larger quarters and plans to add to its staff, says Len Zickler, an AHBL principal here.

Zickler says the company's newly leased 1,700-square-foot office space in the Courtyard Office Center, at 827 W. First, is three times the size of the space it had occupied in the Fernwell Building, at 505 W. Riverside.

The office here has a staff of five, following the recent addition of former Kendall Yards project manager Tom Reese, he says.

"Most of our work is in the area of designing low-impact storm-water drainage facilities," Zickler says.

ABHL plans to add two more employees here soon, he says. Long-term plans include hiring four more employees to form a civil engineering group here.

AHBL was founded in 1969 in Tacoma and opened an office in Seattle in 2000. It opened its Spokane office last year. AHBL employs a total of about 120 people in its three offices.
