Coeur d’Alene-based Trindera Engineering Inc. has doubled the size of its downtown Spokane office, says Katie Fitzpatrick, a spokeswoman for the company.

Trindera now occupies all 6,000 square feet of floor space in the two-story structure at 221 W. Main.

The engineering company specializes in designing electrical, lighting, control, and automation systems for commercial and municipal projects throughout the West.

Trindera opened its Spokane office a year ago on the 3,000-square-foot second floor of the building on Main.

The 10-year-old company’s headquarters are at 1875 N. Lakewood, in Coeur d’Alene.

Trindera employs 45 people, Fitzpatrick says, up from 30 people a year ago. The staff includes 10 engineers, who are licensed in a total of nine Western states and Alberta, Canada.

In Spokane, Trindera has helped engineer the Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility, Huntington Park, and downtown street revitalization projects, Fitzpatrick says.

Kevin Edwards and Isaac Hawkins, both of Spokane commercial real estate brokerage Hawkins Edwards Inc., negotiated the lease for the expanded space.
