Anybody have any updates for the tower project in downtown Coeur d'Alene??

Looks like this is scheduled to completed this spring and also include hotel rooms.

I work one block away from this building. It will not be done this spring. Work IS progressing, even with COVID-19, but in my non-construction experienced opinion, the building won't be completed until July. At the earliest.

I did take a few pictures last week but I am having trouble posting them. I'll get them up as soon as I can.

Thanks for the update and we are looking forward to some photos from Coeur d'Alene.

One Lakeside Update

I found this little update on the progress of One Lakeside in CDA.

My estimate was pretty accurate. Here we are on July 17th and there is still work to be done before this building is completed. Here are some pictures from this afternoon. I might be able to get into the building soon and will share any pictures I take!


The earliest that the "hotel" portion of this condo building is open for reservations is next month (August 21st). We'll see if they push that back as I could see it not being ready until mid-September...

Wow, what news to wake up to on a Monday morning! I will be following the progress of this project closely. There is a strong likelihood that this original plan of 3 towers of up to 195 feet in height (each tower) will be modified. 195 feet would mean towers that are 16-18 stories high. I wouldn't be surprised, in the end, if we end up with 2-3 towers of 6-8 stories high instead. Just my guess...

Here is the general location of the proposed towers (pin shows distance from the Coeur d'Alene Resort in downtown):

Another new project (already approved and now under construction). It will be 5 floors and will face the pond in the Riverstone Development along the Spokane River.

Great to see all of the development popping up in CDA! I need to get over soon to see everything that's going on.

The growth in Kootenai County will be continuing into the foreseeable future...here are two articles, with some conflicting information, about a new housing development located between Coeur d'Alene & Post Falls. The land is located in both cities' areas of impact and, in my opinion, I could see each city annexing a part of the land, with Huetter Road acting as a formal boundary between the two cities.

https://www.spokanejournal.com/?acti...ue&x=791&y=540


The first article (from the Spokane Journal of Business) mentions 1,040 acres with 2,000 possible housing units and around 4,500 eventual residents.

The second article (from the Coeur d'Alene Press) mentions 1,050 acres with 4,500 possible housing units and over 11,250 eventual residents. I believe the number of housing units listed in this article is wrong and it should have said 4,500 residents.

In other news, Rathdrum approved 238 acres for new homes:

Somewhat related to my last post about a new 1,000+ acre housing development that is located between Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls, there is a proposal on this year's election ballot in Kootenai County regarding a new $50 annual vehicle registration fee.

https://hagadone.media.clients.ellin...9f625e68141661

The fee would help pay for a $7.5 million regional traffic management center (similar to what Spokane and Boise currently have) but the bulk of the money would be used to build a limited-access freeway running parallel to Huetter Road from I-90 north, past the Cd'A Airport, and connecting to US-95 north of Hayden. This project has been talked about for 10+ years. It would help relieve north-south traffic in Coeur d'Alene on US-95 and in Post Falls in state highway 41. The current estimated cost is $295 million, with the proposed new vehicle registration fee covering $88.5 million of that.
