The building renovation will also involve a re-purposing as the building will switch to office space. The majority of the building's 15,000 square feet of space will be taken up by one tenant, DCI Engineers a Seattle based engineering firm who already operates a office in Spokane in leased space at the Bank of America Tower. DCI will close that office and relocate here upon the completion of 707 , DCI employ's about 50 here in Spokane.
DCI Engineers will use 11,500 square feet of space for offices, conference rooms , reception and common areas as well engineering production space. The remaining space in the building will remain for indoor parking use.
The renovation project is being done by a group called 707 Partners LLC , construction work will be done by Vandervert Construction and design work by HDG Hissong + Hurtado Design Group, both of which are local companies . The renovation will retain all of the building's original exposed masonry and wood working.
Construction will start very soon, if not already , with a completion date around May or June.
