Spokane Eyes Big Justice Campus Buy | Spokane News

Spokane is eyeing a major real estate deal—buying the 237,000-square-foot Rock Point East for $18.5 million—as part of a bold plan to build a new criminal justice campus. With commercial rents cratering since the pandemic, this is seen as a steal compared to last year’s valuation. Only 40% of the space is currently leased, but city officials aim to retain those tenants while consolidating scattered justice services into one safer, more efficient hub. Funding will come from the city’s own investment fund, repaid over time—a move some council members question due to long-term repayment costs. Over the next 90 days, they’ll vet the building’s condition and tenant satisfaction before finalizing. The goal? Smoother operations, fewer missed court dates, and better access to support—all while hoping this upfront investment pays off in long-term savings and systemic improvements.
