A Seattle family trust has started work on a $1.5 million industrial building at the Chimney Rock Industrial Park, in East Spokane, and plans to break ground on a smaller, $500,000 structure there later this month.


Those buildings, being developed by the Lindley Family Trust, are scheduled to be completed in late August and early September, respectively, says F.W. Rocky Rothrock, president of Rothrock Co., which manages and markets the Chimney Rock park.


The two buildings will include a total of about 50,000 square feet of floor space39,000 square feet in the one currently under way and 11,000 square feet in the planned building, Rothrock says.


No tenants have agreed to lease space in either of the buildings yet, he says.


Garco Construction Inc., of Spokane, is the projects design-build contractor.


The structures are being developed on the two northernmost lots in the 10-acre Chimney Rock complex, which is located southwest of Trent Avenue-Freya Street intersection, and will be accessible from Desmet Avenue. Once the structures are completed, all of the available land at Chimney Rock will be developed.


The Lindley Family Trust owns about 70 percent of the park, and the Rothrock family owns the other 30 percent.


The park currently includes four industrial buildings with a total of about 200,000 square feet of floor space. Tenants include Boise Cascade Corp., La-Z-Boy, Dupont, ACDelco, and others.


The first building at Chimney Rock was developed in 1985.
