The Downtown Spokane building that once housed Johnston Printing, until that firm closed in 2011, has been sold and will soon be re-modeled and repurposed into a multi-tenant office building. The building is located at 159 S. McClellan St by the corner of W Pacific Ave. and S. McClellan St. in a historic neighborhood with a storied past of warehousing and industry due to the nearby access to the rail viaduct and the Spokane Intermodal Center.
The building was purchased local businessman Steve Schmautz, The new owner says he has already pre-leased about half of the project to 2 office tenants but has not named the businesses that have committed to the new space.
Remodeling of the historic structure will be extensive and is expected to begin in the near future as current proposals call for having the site ready for occupation in about 6 months.
