Downtown Coeur d'Alene Development Update

Filed Under Coeur d'Alene, Project/Development News | Leave a Comment

Several months ago the Senor Froggy building in downtown Coeur d’Alene was torn down. The lot has been vacant and fenced off since. Here is an article about the developer’s plans.
Development plans pending for vacant lot – CDA Press

Downtown Coeur d’Alene has seen a fair share of new projects with adequate absorption. However, it looks like development has been put on hold until users can be found. Developers are finding it more difficult to come out of the ground with speculative development.

Please note, across from the previously mentioned site, we have a 1/2 city block development lot available for sale. You can view the listing at the link below:

Is Coeur d'Alene Recession Proof?

Filed Under Coeur d'Alene, Economy | Leave a Comment

A recent article in the Spokesman Review detailed Coeur d’Alene’s unique ability to potentially beat a national recession. Business consultant Mark Hovind has identified 27 “recession proof” cities. He bases this list off of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In my own personal opinion, Coeur d’Alene is definitely not immune to the national trends, however we have a unique area with an increasingly diverse economy. Our area has continued a positive influx of immigration from neighboring states. What is for certain, Coeur d’Alene will continue to be a highly desirable area that will continue to grow despite problems in the national economy.
