Perry District apartment boom continues

Another apartment building is coming to Spokane’s South Perry District, and it will share a lot with an existing house.

The proposed fourplex, 1608 E. Hartson Ave., is being built by Nick Barnes, Brook Cunningham and Andrew Mills, who together own about 20 other rental buildings in the area.

The four units in the proposed Perry building will each be about 1,000 square feet and rent for between $1,000 and $1,100, Barnes said.

“They’re going to be a little more upper-end,” said Barnes, noting adjacent multifamily units don’t reflect his and his partners’ plans. “We want to try to continue the Perry street feel here.”

The building, valued at $425,000, is anticipated to be complete by the end of the year.

The project’s general contractor is Barnes’ Construction Services. It was designed by Russell Page Architects, of Spokane.
