Keely Dunkirk and Spanjer have performed thorough business location analysis. Following are the results. Baker Historical Building Astor Street Spokane WA. Location. Built in one of Spokane’s most desirable locations just minutes from downtown Baker Historical Building commands some of the highest rent per square foot in the Spokane area.

Security. The building was built in and has very few security measures in place though the neighborhood itself sees very little crime. Spokane has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation. However security features should be added to the building.

Access. There is small parking lot with handicap access adjacent to the building and free street parking. Streets are narrow one way streets with lighter traffic than the downtown area but still congested during rush hour because of access issues. This is typical of the historical district.

Demographics. Spokane is the second largest city in the state. As of last year there were 941 housing units at an average density of 522.6 per square mile. As of the census ethnic percentages stood at 88.9% White 4.4% Multiracial 3.5% Hispanic 2.5% Asian 2.0% African American 1.5% Native American .6% from other races .2% Pacific Islander.

The per capita income for the city was $18 451. 15.9% of the population and 11.1% of families were below the poverty line. However since February two years ago the population has increased rapidly due to the decrease in the average cost of living and increase in the job market.

Spokane was #49 on the Men's Journal "50 Best Places to Live" list #5 on the Forbes Magazine "Safest Places to Live" list and #35 on the Inc. Magazine "Top US Cities for Doing Business" list. The city enjoys cultural arts the renowned Sacred Heart Hospital and lively downtown district. The city is very much family oriented and enjoys days of sunshine per year with hot summers and cold snowy winters.

Competition. While competition in other districts of Spokane surely exists the historical building has not yet seen any direct competition from neighboring buildings even though it is relatively small building. The tenants at Baker Historical are willing to pay high rent for the views the location and the lofty office spaces. Marketing. Baker Historical Building has never marketed its office spaces yet has lease occupancy average of 99%. Most tenants are long term and committed to the location.

Location. Situated on the Columbia River in Southeastern Washington Pasco is one of the "Tri Cities" of Richland Pasco and Kennewick. Columbia Professional Center is situated just east of the downtown shopping district. Security. The building has security camera at the entrance but this is the only security measure currently in place. Access. The building has an easily accessible adjacent lot with parking spaces.

Traffic can be problem on Main Street but city planners are currently widening the road to put in turn lane. Demographics. The Tri Cities area has a large population and Pasco is the fastest growing city in the state. The ethnic population is about 50% Caucasian and 50% Hispanic.

The median income for household in the city was $34 and the median income for family was $37,342. The per capita income for the city was $13,404. About 19.5% of families and 23.3% of the population were below the poverty line. While poverty is higher than in other areas of the state the incredible growth of the city will continue to increase opportunities.

The city is large hub for food processing companies such as ConAgra Reeser’s and Simplot. The city also has several premium wineries. Pasco is sunny most of the year has hot summers and cold winters.

Competition. Columbia Professional Center is the largest building within mile either way and the closest office building to the shopping district. Though many tenants love the downtown location competition from office buildings in the suburbs is growing. Updates to the building have enticed tenants to stay. Marketing. Marketing should be aimed at tenants who need their business close to the shopping district.

Columbia Professional Center is historical building and that can be marketed. It also boasts fiber throughout the building which is unusual in building of its age and character. Following are contingencies that Keely Dunkirk and Spanjer would highly recommend as part of any binding negotiation.
