Spokane, Washington
Spokane County publishes its taxpayer and sale tables free, and Washington's excise tax puts a price on almost every deed, but the owner tables sit behind an 'I Agree' pledge not to use lists of individuals commercially and the Assessor's lookup is behind a Cloudflare wall, so this record names owners only where a filing, a public body's own document or a dated report does. Parcel values now come from the Washington State Parcels Project layer on the Department of Natural Resources' own GIS server (2026-11-04); it carries no owner names either, and the County's Esri-hosted parcel and residential-sales layers are no longer used (their host's robots.txt answers 403).

Can you find out who owns it?
Washington records title by deed with the county Auditor, and the Spokane County Assessor keeps the roll. Every conveyance needs a real estate excise tax affidavit, so prices are on the record: the state charges 1.1% to 3% on a graduated scale and the City of Spokane adds 0.5%. Parcel values are published free, without owner names, in the statewide parcels layer compiled by WaTech from the County's roll; its taxpayer and sale tables are free to download only after clicking 'I Agree' to a pledge that lists of individuals will not be used for commercial purposes, which this research did not accept. The Assessor's per-parcel SCOUT lookup was Cloudflare-blocked. A sale of a controlling interest in an owning company goes to the Department of Revenue, not the county, so it leaves no price on the county record.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank of America Financial Center 601 W Riverside Avenue, Spokane about 355,000 sq ft of office space (Spokane Journal, 2019) · 20 floors |
Office | Redstone Group of Companies Spokane's tallest building. The Spokane Journal (31 Jan 2019) reports the 20-story tower and its skywalk-linked garage sold to Canada-based Redstone Group of Cos., a British Columbia private commercial real estate company, for $47.7M — its first Spokane investment — from Unico Properties, which had bought it from First States Investors 5000A LLC for $36M in 2007. The County then assessed it at $38.8M. The State parcels file (March 2026) carries parcel 35184.2620 at 601 W Riverside at $32,711,180. The owning entity's exact name on the deed, and whether Redstone still holds it, could not be checked: SCOUT is Cloudflare-blocked. |
Private company | $47,700,000 2018-12-14 Sale completed 14 Dec 2018 from Unico Properties LLC, including the eight-floor parking garage to the south; price as reported by the Spokane Journal of Business. B |
| Paulsen Center 421 W Riverside Avenue, Spokane |
Office | Not established the source would not open No current owner could be established. The Spokane Journal (26 Feb 1997) reported the historic high-rise being bought through Rainier Properties, a real-estate affiliate of Seattle-based Diamond Parking Inc., for somewhat less than the $11M asking price; the sellers had paid $3.7M in 1994. Whether that entity still holds it is not on any page opened here. The State parcels file (March 2026) shows parcel 35184.2806 at 421 W Riverside at $14,290,580. The owner of record is on SCOUT, which is Cloudflare-blocked. |

| The Historic Davenport (Davenport Hotels) 10 S Post Street, Spokane |
Hotel | KSL Capital Partners (affiliate) KSL Capital Partners announced that an affiliate would acquire the privately held Davenport Hotels — the Historic Davenport (1914), Davenport Tower, Lusso, The Centennial and Davenport Grand, nearly 1,800 rooms — from the founding family; terms undisclosed. Spokane Public Radio (22 Dec 2021), citing county records, reported about $200M for the hotels and a garage, about twice appraised value: Davenport Grand $78.1M, Historic Davenport about $45.2M. On the March 2026 State parcels file the Davenport Grand parcel (333 W Spokane Falls Blvd) is $82,215,640 and the Historic Davenport (10 S Post) $32,148,736. The affiliate's entity name was not opened. |
Private equity | $45,200,000 2021-12 About $45.2M for the Historic Davenport per Assessor figures reported by Spokane Public Radio; the five hotels and a garage about $200M together; closed mid-December 2021. B |
| Spokane Convention Center and First Interstate Center for the Arts 334 W Spokane Falls Boulevard, Spokane |
Civic | Spokane Public Facilities District two-thirds of the Spokane Center assets (2003 interlocal agreement) The City of Spokane's audited 2024 financial statements (State Auditor report 1038150, Sept 2025) record that a 2003 interlocal agreement with the Spokane Public Facilities District — a municipal corporation whose five-member board is appointed by the City and County — covered the Convention Center, the Spokane Opera House (now the First Interstate Center for the Arts) and the Agricultural Trade Center, and 'transferred 2/3 ownership of the Spokane Center assets to the PFD'; the City passes it admissions, lodging and stadium taxes through 2038. The State parcels file (March 2026) shows parcel 35184.0001 at this address (DOR land-use 67, governmental services) at $42,352,080. |
Government | —A |
| Numerica Veterans Arena (Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena) 720 W Mallon Avenue, Spokane |
Civic | Spokane Public Facilities District The City's 2024 audited statements say the 2003 interlocal agreement covered the Spokane Center 'and the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena', set out 'PFD's acquisition of the existing facilities', and 'terminated the City's operation agreement for the Arena'. The PFD's own site gives 720 W Mallon as its address and announced the arena's renaming as Numerica Veterans Arena in November 2025 under a naming partnership. Tier B: the audit describes the acquisition rather than stating title outright; no deed was opened. |
Government | —B |
| ONE Spokane Stadium between Howard and Washington Streets, south of Boone Avenue (Joe Albi Way), Spokane |
Civic | Spokane Public Schools Spokane Public Radio (26 Sept 2023): 'The $38 million stadium is owned by Spokane Public Schools, funded by a taxpayer-approved bond issue. It will be operated by the Public Facilities District.' About 5,000 seats; it replaced the district's Joe Albi Stadium. The Spokane Journal (20 July 2023) reports the PFD owns the land under it and was signing a land lease ('an acknowledgment of use'), a parking agreement and an operating agreement with the district. $38M is the construction cost, not a sale price. |

| Riverfront Park 610 W Spokane Falls Boulevard (main parcel), Spokane |
Land | City of Spokane The City's Riverfront Spokane page: 'The City of Spokane's Riverfront Park is a 64-acre park' with over 3 million visitors a year, home to the 1909 Looff Carrousel and the falls gondola. The State parcels file (March 2026) shows its main parcel 35185.0041 (610 W Spokane Falls Blvd, land-use 76, parks) at $102,995,540, of which land $85,563,040. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Inside the City of Spokane the Washington State Parcels file (Spokane County roll as filed 20 Mar 2026) carries 80,946 parcels lying wholly within the Census Bureau's 2024 city boundary, valued at $39.76 billion, of which land is $9.79 billion; most of it is houses (64,316 single-family parcels, $24.13B). The most valuable single parcels are a hospital campus, college campuses and the airport; downtown towers barely register beside them. Parcels crossing the generalised Census boundary are left out. The file names no owners, so owners below come from other documents.
Highest-valued parcel$218,764,320
Parcel 35196.3005, 101 W 8th Ave, about 12.5 mapped acres, DOR land-use 65 — the published address of Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center (Providence's own page). State parcels file, March 2026; owner of record not opened (SCOUT blocked).
Most valuable hotel parcel$82,215,640
The Davenport Grand, 333 W Spokane Falls Blvd (parcel 35184.2114, land $4.45M). State parcels file, March 2026.
Highest land value$85,563,040
Riverfront Park's main parcel, 610 W Spokane Falls Blvd (35185.0041, total $102,995,540), City of Spokane. Next: a 107-acre recreational parcel at 3590 W Cleveland Ave ($18.8M land) and an education parcel at 3410 W Whistalks Way ($15.7M). State parcels file, March 2026.
All City of Spokane parcels$39.76 billion
80,946 parcels wholly inside the 2024 Census city boundary: land $9.79B, buildings $29.97B, about 31,980 mapped acres. State parcels file, March 2026, summed by this research with the layer's own statistics query.
Bank of America Financial Center: price vs roll$47.7M paid (2018); $32.7M on the 2026 State file
Spokane Journal (2019) reports the $47.7M sale and a 2018 assessment of $38.8M; the State parcels file (March 2026) carries parcel 35184.2620 at $32,711,180.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Spokane's largest landholders are public — the jointly owned airport system, City parkland and schools. The private holdings that matter most are institutional: Providence's Sacred Heart campus is the single most valuable parcel in the city. Neither the State parcels file nor the County's open data names owners, and the County's bulk taxpayer file is behind a no-commercial-use pledge this research did not accept, so the rows below come from each owner's own documents, not a ranked list of owners.
| Name | Type | Holdings (as each source states them) |
|---|---|---|
| Spokane Airports (City of Spokane and Spokane County, jointly) 'Spokane Airports is jointly owned by Spokane County and the City of Spokane', governed by the Spokane Airport Board; also Felts Field, a 540-acre business park and a rail-truck transload centre. |
Government | GEG over 6,000 acres; Felts Field; 540-acre business parkA |
| City of Spokane Audited 2024 statements: governmental land $845.8M plus business-type land $15.6M, at historical cost. Holdings include Riverfront Park (64 acres; its main parcel has the highest land value in the city), joint ownership of Spokane Airports with the County, and 40 acres in the airport business park for the Waste to Energy plant. |
Government | land carried at $861.4M (31 Dec 2024)A |
| Spokane Public Facilities District A municipal corporation with a board appointed by the City and County. The City's audit records the 2003 transfer of two-thirds of the Spokane Center assets and PFD's acquisition of the Arena; the Spokane Journal (2023) reports the PFD owns the land under ONE Spokane Stadium. |
Government | Arena, two-thirds of the Convention Center and First Interstate Center, The Podium, the land under ONE Spokane StadiumB |
| Spokane Public Schools Spokane Public Radio (2023): 'The $38 million stadium is owned by Spokane Public Schools, funded by a taxpayer-approved bond issue', operated by the Public Facilities District. The district's other school sites were not established: its own site would not load for scripts. |
Government | ONE Spokane Stadium ($38M, bond-funded)A |
| Washington State University (WSU Health Sciences Spokane) WSU Spokane Facilities Operations maintains 'the 55-acre campus' on the Spokane River east of downtown. Eastern Washington University also teaches in the city; its holdings were not established here. |
Institution | 55-acre campusA |
| Providence (Sacred Heart Medical Center) Providence gives Sacred Heart's address as 101 W 8th Ave; the parcel at that address is the city's most valuable (see Core). Tier B: the owner of record was not opened. MultiCare (Deaconess) was not checked — its site's robots.txt disallows Anthropic's crawler. |
Institution | Sacred Heart Medical Center campus, 101 W 8th AveB |
| Avista Corp. Avista's FY2025 10-K lists these hydro stations on the Spokane River as company-owned generation; substantially all utility property is under its mortgage indenture. Headquartered in Spokane. |
Public company | Upper Falls (10 MW) and Monroe Street (15 MW) dams downtown; Nine Mile, Long Lake and Little Falls downriverA |
| Railroads (BNSF and Union Pacific; not separated) Parcels wholly inside the 2024 Census city boundary carrying DOR land-use code 41 (railroad/transit) on the March 2026 State parcels file, $15.7M in all. The file does not say which railroad holds each one, so no split between BNSF and Union Pacific is given. |
Public company | 132 railroad parcels, about 191 mapped acresB |
| Spokane Housing Authority Formed in 1972 by the City of Spokane; serves Spokane, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Stevens, Ferry and Whitman counties through vouchers and SHA-managed apartments (Agnes Kehoe Place, Cedar West, Cornerstone Courtyard, Heritage Heights, Hifumi En, Orchard Vista, The Parsons, The Pearl on Adams and others). Unit counts per property were not stated on the page opened. |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
In 2025 the City of Spokane permitted 692 new homes: 167 single-family houses, 46 units in duplexes, 57 in three- and four-unit buildings and 422 in 26 buildings of five or more units (Census Bureau). No Spokane builder league table exists, and the per-builder sales counts this record once carried came from a County sales layer on a host now treated as blocked, so no builders are ranked here (see Unverified).
6
Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Spokane has no REIT-dominated core. Its biggest commercial holdings change hands one at a time to out-of-town private buyers: a New York retail investor bought NorthTown Mall, a Denver private-equity firm the Davenport hotels, a British Columbia company the tallest office tower. One local company has held the downtown retail anchor for decades. No published league table of Spokane landlords was found; the list is assembled from reported transactions, so a holder that has not traded recently may be missing. The Spokane Journal of Business, cited several times here, is itself owned by Cowles Co. through an affiliate (The Spokesman-Review says so).
| Name | Type | Holding, as reported |
|---|---|---|
| Kohan Retail Investment Group Great Neck, New York company; bought NorthTown Mall (4750 N Division) from Brookfield Properties for $49M, completed 11 Feb 2022, its first Washington deal; about 80% occupied at sale after losing Macy's and Sears. The mall's main parcel (36323.0033, 23 mapped acres) is on the March 2026 State parcels file at $35,299,680 (land $15.1M). |
Private company | NorthTown Mall, 1 million sq ft retail ($49M, Feb 2022)A |
| KSL Capital Partners Denver private-equity firm; an affiliate bought the Historic Davenport, Davenport Tower, Lusso, The Centennial and Davenport Grand. The three downtown hotel parcels total $153.8M on the March 2026 State parcels file (Grand $82.2M, Tower $39.4M, Historic $32.1M). |
Private equity | 5 Davenport hotels, nearly 1,800 rooms (about $200M, Dec 2021)B |
| Redstone Group of Companies British Columbia private commercial real estate company; Spokane's tallest tower and its eight-floor garage were its first Spokane investment. |
Private company | about 355,000 sq ft office (Bank of America Financial Center, $47.7M, Dec 2018)A |
| Unico Properties (Unico Investment Group) Seattle-based; after selling the Bank of America Financial Center it 'continues to own and manage 560,000 square feet of office properties in Spokane, including the 11-acre Rock Pointe Corporate Center' (Spokane Journal, Jan 2019). Not re-checked since. |
Private company | 560,000 sq ft office in Spokane (2019)A |
| Cowles Co. The Spokesman-Review describes River Park Square's late-1990s redevelopment as a public-private partnership between the City and 'the mall's owners, the development companies run by what is now Cowles Co.', which ended in lawsuits; Cowles also owns The Spokesman-Review, KHQ-TV and the Spokane Journal of Business. Floor area not stated on the page opened. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The owner of record of every marquee building. Spokane County's SCOUT lookup, which would name the taxpayer and deed history per parcel, is behind a Cloudflare challenge, and the bulk taxpayer table needs an 'I Agree' pledge this research did not give. Owners here come from filings, public bodies' own documents and dated news reports instead.
- Whether Redstone Group still owns the Bank of America Financial Center, and the exact name of its owning entity; the 2018 deed was not opened.
- The Paulsen Center's current owner. The 1997 report names a Diamond Parking affiliate, Rainier Properties, as the buyer; nothing newer was found.
- The name of the KSL Capital Partners affiliate holding the Davenport hotels, and whether KSL still holds all five; no 2024–2026 sale was found.
- Title to Numerica Veterans Arena. The City's audit describes the 2003 agreement as covering 'PFD's acquisition of the existing facilities' including the Arena, but no deed or PFD financial statement was opened. Who holds the remaining third of the Convention Center and First Interstate Center is not stated in the audit.
- Which parcel is ONE Spokane Stadium. A $102.1M recreational-use parcel at 511 W Joe Albi Way (State parcels file, March 2026) sits beside it, but the file names no owner and The Podium is next door.
- Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University, MultiCare (Deaconess), Spokane County's own holdings and BNSF or Union Pacific acreage. These were requested landowners, but their sites were blocked or disallowed crawling, or (for the County) the host is Cloudflare-walled. The State parcels file shows a $116.6M education-use parcel at 502 E Boone Ave and a $40.1M professional-services parcel at 800 W 5th Ave, but names no owner.
- Exemption status of any parcel. The County's exemption codes (GOVT, DOR, SCLS, OPER) were on its Esri-hosted layer, now treated as blocked; the State parcels file carries only DOR land-use codes, so no parcel is called exempt or taxable here.
- Distress. No foreclosure or trustee's deed on a marquee building was found; the County's commercial sales layers (Property Sales 2015–2026) are on a Cloudflare-blocked host.
- Public owners combined: 1,460 GOVT-exempt parcels, 10,204 acres (nearly 30% of the city's parcel area), $2.44B, and 42 aircraft parcels of 4,519 acres ($407.8M) inside the City — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
- School-district holdings: 140 SCLS-exempt parcels, 570 acres, $1.02B inside the City — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
- Highest-valued taxable parcel: 35044.0927, 3600 N Cook St, 'Wholesale', $129,107,740 for tax year 2026 (the State file of March 2026 shows it at $65.0M); 71,916 taxable parcels worth $32.25B citywide — previously from services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
- New-home sales in the City, 2024–25, by selling entity (houses built 2023 or later): Lennar Northwest, LLC 135 sales, $71.4M; Hayden Homes, LLC 127, $64.3M; Lexington Homes-DRH, LLC 52, $23.1M; Centennial Homes, LLC 15, $11.4M; Toll Bros Inc 13, $10.4M — previously from the County's ResidentialCompSales layer on services1.arcgis.com, whose robots.txt answers 403; no other open source found (2026-11-04).
