Revamped Wonder Bread factory taking shape

Developers in Spokane say a project to renovate the old Wonder Bread factory just north of downtown is taking shape and could be ready for tenants this summer.

Known as Wonder Spokane, the project would bring new life to the facility at 821 West Mallon.

In a news release Wednesday, developers say the transformation of the 112,000 square foot building is in its final stages. It will include the Wonder Market, “a 12,000 square foot retail market offering food and artisanal products at a street level. The three-story building will offer plentiful onsite and adjacent parking and includes a dramatic rooftop deck overlooking downtown and Riverfront Park.”

The developers’ real estate advisor plans to target tenants in Spokane, but believes it could attract companies from all over the west.

The news release says the project will offer some relief in Spokane’s limited large-block office vacancy market.
