Parking garage work begins near Wonder Bread building development

Excavation will begin for a new parking garage near the Wonder Bread building, which is nearing the end of a $15 million renovation to turn the historic bakery into a 112,000-square-foot retail space and market.

Earlier this month, the building’s developers teamed up with NAI Black and JLL to begin marketing and seeking leases locally and nationally for the renovated space at 821 W. Mallon Ave. now called Wonder Spokane.

The building will be joined by a three-story parking garage with more than 250 stalls on the northwest corner of the block the bakery complex shares with David’s Pizza, which sits on the northeast corner.
