Spokane’s Revamped Wonder Bread Factory Takes Shape

Wonder Spokane, LLC is nearing completion of a $15-million restoration and expansion of the historic Wonder Bread Bakery at 821 West Mallon in Spokane, WA. Formally known as the Spokane-Continental Bakery, the early 1900s-era building is in the final stage of a transformation into Wonder Spokane, a roughly 112,000-square-foot creative office building.

The redevelopment features the Wonder Market, a 12,000-square-foot retail market, offering food and artisanal products at street level. The three-story building will offer onsite and adjacent parking, and includes a dramatic rooftop deck overlooking downtown and Riverfront Park when completed this summer.

Developer Wonder Spokane’s Peter Mounsey says “It was very important to us that we build upon the bakery’s historic roots by preserving its character, while delivering a top-quality redevelopment to revitalize the block and stand another 100 years in downtown Spokane.”

JLL and NAI Black are marketing the project.
