Spokane’s most expensive apartment for $ 2.5 million | Companies

SPOKANE – For $ 2.5 million, a one-of-a-kind luxury condominium in downtown Spokane could be yours.

The 3,440-square-foot apartment above PF Chang’s in a building formerly occupied by the Burlington Coat Factory at 809 W. Main Ave., Unit 301, went on sale last week.

If the apartment sells for its asking price, it would be the most expensive unit ever sold in the Spokane area, said Kari Hayes, broker at John L. Scott Real Estate and real estate agent for the property.

“To say it’s a rarity is an understatement,” said Hayes.

A unit in the same building sold for $ 2 million in 2016. Only two Spokane condos have sold for more than $ 1 million since January 2020, Hayes said, citing data from the Spokane Multiple Listing Service.

The most expensive single-family home sold in Spokane County last year was 8,540 square feet on 5 acres east of Little Spokane Natural Area. It was sold for $ 2.6 million, according to the Spokane County Assessor’s Office records.

The 2.5 bedroom, three bathroom luxury apartment in downtown Spokane has a sleek, modern European design with wide oak plank floors. Quartz countertops in kitchen, bathroom and laundry room; a two-sided, custom air-conditioned wine wall; and a constructed floating staircase leading to an attic on the second floor.

The master bedroom has built-in dressers, a double gas fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and quartz walls that frame a spa-like tub in the bathroom, which also has a walk-in shower and underfloor heating.

Additional features include a water filtration system, a state-of-the-art audio / video system, and updated kitchen appliances.

In the living room, French doors open to a balcony that overlooks River Park Square across the street.

The apartment has 15-foot ceilings in the kitchen, dining and living rooms, and a Lindsey Adelman chandelier hanging over the dining table.

The work of Adelman, a New York-based lighting designer and artist, has been exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City and the Nilufar Gallery in Milan.

The condo has secure access, two heated garage parking spaces, and concierge access on River Park Square.

No expense was spared in designing the apartment as the current owner did not originally intend to sell the property, Hayes said.

The owner is NGS Trust, whose client is a longstanding local entrepreneur and business owner who has refused to be named for data protection reasons.

“The apartment will not be fully used in this chapter of his life and is the reason for the sale,” said Hayes.

The apartment is also listed worldwide through the affiliation of John L. Scott Real Estate to the world’s leading real estate companies, one of the largest moving networks in the world.

Since the apartment hit the market, it has attracted the interest of a wide variety of potential buyers, some of whom are from outside the area, Hayes said.

Contractor Kevin Gunder from Gunder Construction in Coeur d’Alene and designer Toni Brannon from Toni Brannon Design LLC in Spokane have teamed up to create the bespoke apartment from an empty concrete shell.

“We really just wanted to go in a different direction than a typical industrial-style loft,” said Brannon, adding that a clean, modern, and sophisticated feel is important to the home owner. “One of the challenges and important goals was to make it feel light and light.”

Brannon created a 7 foot wide entryway with cutouts to let more light into the apartment.

“All of the units (in the building) are long, narrow, except for the units on the corners,” she said. “One of the things I did to make sure it felt open and light was really widen the entrance so you weren’t down a narrow hallway.”

Brannon and Gunder worked on structural beams that weren’t removable by covering one with quartz, wrapping a staircase around it, and hiding another behind the wine cellar.

Brannon placed a Nebula pendant lamp designed by Joris Laarman in the front entrance area. Made in Italy, the Nebula lamp was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Brannon did not disclose the renovation and design costs for the apartment.

The apartment’s unique design rivals what buyers might find in larger cities, Brannon said.

“It was a dream project where the client let me do what I wanted and that was wonderful,” said Brannon. “I’m not sure there will be much more of it.”
