Spokane-based Sprague Partners LLC, a real estate investment group, has purchased a building at 3401 E. Sprague for $595,000, says Kevin Edwards, broker with Hawkins Edwards Inc. and a partner with the purchasing company.

Greg Byrd, a broker with Byrd Real Estate Group LLC, and Edwards handled the transaction. Edwards represented the buyer, and Byrd represented the seller.

Edwards says two tenants occupy the building: furniture store Comfort Furniture Inc. and recycling company Appliance Recycling & Wholesale Inc., both of Spokane.

The group plans to update the building’s appearance. Construction is expected to start spring 2018, he says.

“Instead of having a sea of concrete, adding a little landscaping would do wonders for that building,” he says. 

Bernardo|Wills Architects PC, of Spokane, has done some preliminary designing for the project, including renderings, he says.

Byrd says the retail, warehouse, and investment space occupies 15,200 square feet on a 28,400-square-foot site.

The owner chose to sell it to pursue other interests, he says.

Edwards says Tim Welsh, co-owner of Spokane-based Garco Construction Inc., also is a partner with Sprague Partners.
