Keely Dunkirk and Spanjer have performed thorough business location analysis. Following are the results. Baker Historical Building Astor Street Spokane WA. Location. Built in one of Spokane’s most desirable locations just minutes from downtown Baker Historical Building commands some of the highest rent per square foot in the Spokane area.
Security. The building was built in and has very few security measures in place though the neighborhood itself sees very little crime. Spokane has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation. However security features should be added to the building.
Access. There is small parking lot with handicap access adjacent to the building and free street parking. Streets are narrow one way streets with lighter traffic than the downtown area but still congested during rush hour because of access issues. This is typical of the historical district.
Demographics. Spokane is the second largest city in the state. As of last year there were 941 housing units at an average density of 522.6 per square mile. As of the census ethnic percentages stood at 88.9% White 4.4% Multiracial 3.5% Hispanic 2.5% Asian 2.0% African American 1.5% Native American .6% from other races .2% Pacific Islander. The average household size was 2.32 and the average family size was 2.98.

The per capita income for the city was $18 451. 15.9% of the population and 11.1% of families were below the poverty line. However since February two years ago the population has increased rapidly due to the decrease in the average cost of living and increase in the job market.
Spokane was #49 on the Men's Journal "50 Best Places to Live" list #5 on the Forbes Magazine "Safest Places to Live" list and #35 on the Inc. Magazine "Top US Cities for Doing Business" list. The city enjoys cultural arts the renowned Sacred Heart Hospital and lively downtown district. The city is very much family oriented and enjoys days of sunshine per year with hot summers and cold snowy winters.
Competition. While competition in other districts of Spokane surely exists the historical building has not yet seen any direct competition from neighboring buildings even though it is relatively small building. The tenants at Baker Historical are willing to pay high rent for the views the location and the lofty office spaces. Marketing. Baker Historical Building has never marketed its office spaces yet has lease occupancy average of 99%.
