The Dirt: Fourth building planned for Iron Bridge corporate park
A fourth office building will be built at a riverside corporate park overlooking a historic rail bridge.
The three-story, $11.7 million building, at 731 North Iron Bridge, will be made of brick and glass and be 89,000 square feet in size. It will look similar to the three buildings standing on the 23-acre Iron Bridge campus, built between 2003 and 2008. The corporate park is just north of Trent Avenue in the Chief Garry Park neighborhood and in close proximity to Gonzaga University.
Iron Bridge LLC, of Spokane, also bought a 100-year-old building on the southwest part of the campus and converted its three stories of condominiums to offices.
The work to construct Iron Bridge IV will be done by Divcon Inc., of Spokane Valley, which built the campus’s three other buildings and parking garage.
The buildings will be connected by an atrium and face the old iron truss bridge that served mining rail traffic until it was closed ahead of Expo ’74. The bridge, converted in 2012 to a paved pedestrian and cycling route, connects to the Centennial Trail.
Steam Plant closes for event center project
Stacks Restaurant and Steam Plant Brewery, which occupy the old Steam Plant Grill in downtown Spokane at 823 W.

They expect the $300,000 project to be completed for a fall 2017 reopening.
The restaurant’s bar is being remodeled, based on building permit information. According to the venue’s website, the restaurant is also creating a rooftop event space.
Vandervert Construction Inc. is the project’s general contractor.
