For the first time in 80 years, Coeur d’Alene has a new federal courthouse.

The old U.S. courthouse, built in 1928 and located downtown, has become outdated in terms of space, parking and the need for modern security features.

The new building offers 60,000 square feet of space spread over four levels on the city’s north side, just west of U.S. Highway 95 and north of Hanley Avenue. In an increasingly common phenomenon related to tighter federal purse strings, the $22 million building will be owned by the developer, JDL Enterprises of Bellevue, and leased to the federal government.
