Grapetree Village owners mull expansion

Recent leases fill all retail space at South Hill center

April 24, 2014

Retail space at Grapetree Village is all leased up, and the owners are considering developing two new buildings at the South Hill commercial center on the 2000 block of east 29th Avenue, says a real estate broker involved in the leases.

Recently signed tenants are Ameriprise Financial Inc., H&R Block, and Steve Atlas, says Cory Barbieri, a broker with Spokane-based Goodale & Barbieri Co.

Minneapolis-based Ameriprise Financial, a financial-planning services company, has leased 1,600 square feet of space, Barbieri says.

H&R Block, the Kansas City-based tax preparation company, has leased 1,200 square feet of space, he says.

Atlas, a personal trainer doing business as The Body Practice Inc., of Spokane, has leased 1,500 square feet of space, Barbieri says.

An existing tenant, Three Barre Belles LLC, of Spokane, has leased an additional 1,500 square feet of floor space to bring its total space to 3,600 square feet, he says. Three Barre Belles is a franchisee of San Francisco-based The Bar Method fitness studios.

Barbieri says Grapetree Village owners are considering expanding the development with two buildings envisioned on a vacant parcel at the northwest corner of 29th and Lee Street, just east of the freestanding Applebee’s restaurant building.

Though the plans are still in the concept stage, one building, envisioned as a potential bank branch, would have 3,000 square feet of floor space and a drive-thru lane, and the other building would have about 7,000 square feet of space, Barbieri says.

Spokane architect Gary Saiki is designing the potential project, and the developer is seeking contractor bids for it, he says.

The potential project isn’t yet in the building permit stage.

Late Spokane architect Glen Cloninger co-developed Grapetree Village in phases in 2006 and 2009, and its ownership group, Grapetree Mixed Use LLC, includes some of Cloninger’s family.

Barbieri referred some questions to Blake Cloninger, who couldn’t reached for comment.

In all, the Grapetree Village commercial center currently has 50,000 square feet of retail, office, and other commercial space.

Other tenants there include U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, Brick City Pizza, Weldon Barber, Café Capri Italian Coffees, and Brooke M. Cloninger DDS dental practice.

A 6,000-square-foot building there occupied by an Applebee’s restaurant was developed in 1996.
