$1.4 million renovation of downtown Veterans Affairs building complete

The $1.4 million remodel of the Veterans Affairs building near downtown Spokane is complete.

The project, by Spokane Valley’s Meridian Construction & Development, renovated an existing 5,000-square-foot building at 504 E. Second Ave. and added a 1,500-square-foot building to the south.

Complete demolition of the interior, roof and plumbing system were done at the 46-year-old building. The location will contain offices and consulting spaces, and provide health care for homeless veterans.

Meridian completed the five-month project in partnership with 504 E Partners, which is partly controlled by Meridian owner Mark D’Agostino and which purchased the building in 2016 for $630,000.

The Health Care for Homeless Veterans program is administered from the building.
