The Dirt: New condo project at Kendall Yards set

Two building projects in Kendall Yards are lining up for construction, including a condo building and a Class A medical office structure.

For the residential project, Elm Street Condos, developer Greenstone Corp. plans to build a 24-unit, three-story residential structure at 1903 W. Summit Parkway. The estimated construction cost is $850,000.

Under review with the city of Spokane, the condo building’s design calls for about a 59,000-square-foot structure with a basement parking garage.

Greenstone also expects soon to develop a Kendall Yards medical office structure with about 35,000 square feet of space. The exact address isn’t yet available.
