New pad sites come available at a Trader Joe's anchored development

 

In the market for land to build your business in Spokane? Or just want a site to watch for new businesses coming to Spokane? One of the most prime spaces has just opened up as the owners of the parcel around the former Burlington store in the 5800 block of N. Division have divided portions of the parking lot into 3 three new pad sites. The sites are directly on N. Division and the parking area is connected with the Franklin Park Shopping Center that is home to Trader Joe's and a few other in-demand retailers.

The former two-story Burlington store will soon be redeveloped as a new Extra Space storage facility. Additionally, the former Rite Aid store on the site has re-opened as a CVS Pharmacy store. Spokane based Hawkins Edwards is marketing the space and says they have already had interest since opening them up. They are offering three separate pad sites for various types of businesses, but the site bodes well for restaurants and other drive through business with good visibility from the 41,000+ vehicles passing the site daily on Division.

The pad sites are being offered available for ground lease or build to suit, with more information on pricing and availability directly from Hawkins Edwards via Kevin Edwards 509-939-8828 or k.edwards@me.com or Ben Hawkins 509-951-1848 or bhawkins@me.com
