Why is the Spokane Club selling its Spokane Valley tennis center?

Spokane Club board members want to sell the club’s Spokane Valley facility.

The former Central Park Racquet Club was purchased by the club in 2000 for roughly $3.2 million. Since then the private social and athletic club has spent about $3 million on upgrades.

The reason why: debt and the need to refocus on the club's main role as a central location downtown, for athletics and social events.

Something not reported in that story: Cory Barbieri, of Goodale & Barbieri Company, said he's acting on behalf of one of the potential buyers of the former racquet club.

He's unable to identify the buyer. It is an investor-based group that has experience operating tennis clubs, Barbieri said.
