Hybrid Architecture, of Seattle, filed a pre-development application with the city to potentially build a 125,000-square-foot, seven-story multifamily structure on a parking lot between Fast Eddie's Bar & Grill and Best Western Plus City Center on Spokane Falls Boulevard.

The building would include two levels of below-grade parking, a site plan for the project shows.

The application indicates access to parking will be from Spokane Falls Boulevard and an alleyway.

The development team intends on conducting a traffic study for the project via Sunburst Engineering.

The estimated cost of the project is $40 million, according to the application.

Diamond Parking President Jon Diamond owns the three parcels of land on which the project would be built, Spokane County Assessor's Office records show.

Great Expectations LLC was listed as project owner on the site plan.

The real estate firm, founded in 2019, focuses on development and acquisition of high-quality, affordable workforce housing, according to the company's website.
