Downtown Spokane offices for DCI Engineers, a civil and structural engineering firm, will relocate to a renovated building at 707 W. Second Ave., formerly the Evergreen Parking Garage.

Vandervert Construction is remodeling the 15,000-square-foot, two-story structure for DCI Engineers and its more than 50 employees. The work is expected to be completed by the end of May. DCI Engineers will move from its quarters at the Bank of America building and lease from the partnership group 707 Partners LLC developing the project.

DCI Engineers’ offices and meeting spaces will take up 11,500 square feet, with the remaining space for indoor parking. The street level will include a reception area, executive offices, conference room and parking. The upper level will have engineering production, offices and a kitchen common area.

Construction will retain original exposed masonry walls and the open wood truss roof structure in the building, which was built in 1920 as an automobile sales building for John Doran Co.

Based in Seattle, DCI Engineers also has an office in Portland as well as locations in California, Alaska and Texas.

HomeGoods outlet coming to Valley

The city of Spokane Valley has issued a building permit for construction in an emptied structure near the Spokane Valley Mall for an outlet of HomeGoods, a national retailer of home furnishings and accessories, taking space formerly occupied by Staples. Yost Mooney & Pugh is the general contractor for the project at 15224 E. Indiana Ave.

Staples, an office supplies retailer, relocated its Valley store last year to a newly constructed building at 13804 E. Indiana Ave. next to Total Wine & More. The Framingham, Massachusetts-based HomeGoods is run by parent company TJX Cos., which also operates T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.
