The Dirt: STCU will move downtown branch to River Park Square

Spokane Teachers Credit Union will relocate a downtown branch to new space as part of a remodel at River Park Square, with that STCU site to be built adjacent to a planned Urban Outfitters store.

Urban Outfitters is scheduled for construction at Main Avenue and Wall Street, where the Saad Building is being demolished.

The new STCU branch is slated to open at the site in late 2016 with 2,900 square feet on the street and skywalk levels. It will replace STCU’s downtown branch in the skywalk level of Crescent Court; those employees will move to the new location.

The credit union also will lease 400 square feet of space on the street level at the new site to a retailer that’s yet to be selected. STCU has another downtown branch at 9 S. Washington St. in the Hutton Building, which the credit union acquired in 2013 and renovated.

Meanwhile, the $2.3 million Urban Outfitters project is in plan review with the city for a 13,400-square-foot store at 702 W. Main. Walker Construction is the contractor, and some site work has started. River Park Square is an affiliate of Cowles Co., which also owns The Spokesman-Review.
