Spokane accounting firm Fruci & Associates PS has bought for $1.9 million the 14,300-square-foot, single-story office building at 802 N. Washington that formerly was occupied by Keller Williams Realty Spokane. The firm plans to move there from the Fruci Building downtown, says Kemper Rojas, Fruci & Associates’ managing partner.

Rojas says the firm will remodel the building at the northeast corner of Washington Street and North River Drive and will relocate there in the fall.

The CPA practice currently occupies a similar amount of space on the second and third floors of the Fruci Building, at 218 N. Bernard. That building has four stories and a basement level.

Paul Fruci Sr., a partner at the CPA firm, also is a principal in Fruci Family LLC, which owns the Fruci Building.

“Paul Sr.’s father (Roger Fruci), who started the firm in 1938, purchased the building floor by floor from the basement up,” Rojas says.

The Fruci family is seeking another tenant to occupy the firm’s space there, she says.

The former Keller Williams building has the advantage of free parking, she says.

“It will be nice to have parking for clients and employees,” Rojas says, “We’ve lost a lot of parking around here.”

Spokane commercial brokers Jeff Ottmar, of SVN Cornerstone, and Jon Jeffreys, of NAI Black, negotiated the real estate transaction for the building at 802 N. Washington.

Fruci Construction Inc., of Spokane, is the contractor for the remodel, and ZBA Architecture PS, also of Spokane, is designing it. Mike Fruci, another family member, heads Fruci Construction.
