Large new shopping center planned at the Jacklin Ranch development

 

A large new shopping center is in the pipeline for the Jacklin Ranch commercial development site, located just east of the intersection of Hwy, 41 and Prairie Ave. in Post Falls. The new plaza is currently in the permitting process with the City of Post Falls, with an actual groundbreaking coming soon. If all goes as planned the developers plans to have new businesses opening at the site during the winter of 2026 or in early 2027. This is just one part of the greater Jacklin Ranch development site which also has several pad sites, many of which will also be home to new businesses.

Already open at Jacklin Ranch is new Human Bean coffee shop, Peak Fitness and Kootenai Classical Academy. Two new dental clinics, a pharmacy and BankCDA are in various planning phases for the sites along Prairie Ave. also. Additionally, this project is across Prairie Ave. from the under-construction Kootenai Health Campus. It also borders another similar commercial development to the west, where a new Super 1 Foods grocery store recently entered the building process to be constructed soon.

The planned new shopping center will be built directly to the south of Peak Fitness with two buildings, one being a 13,600 square foot building with nine individual business bays, across the surface parking lot will be a second smaller building with three business bays. A build site, recommended for a restaurant is also included within the shopping center site. Ginno Construction will be the general contractor for the project. We checked in and we're told there are no business that can be announced as opening at the site. However, there is a lot of interest already and more recent marketing flyers show at least a couple of the to be built spaces, already in pending status. They do mention however that they are focusing on local businesses and restaurants for this project.

Leasing for this new shopping center, and the rest of Jacklin Ranch is being done by Wade Jacklin of Berkshire Hataway Jacklin Real Estate, who can be contacted at 208-755-5075 email wpjacklin@gmail.com or Donnie Murrell of 7 Fold Realty Advisors at 208-758-7539 email donnie@7foldrealty.com
