Over the past six months, renovation has been
underway at 7177 Main Street in Bonners Ferry in
anticipation of a new and fully furnished
business center. The Plaza Downtown, located in
the former Dr. Barker and First Security Bank
building, offers a dynamic and energetic shared
office space in the heart of downtown Bonners
Ferry.
Owners Victor and Tess Rae have been working
hard at updating and beautifying both the
interior and exterior of one of Bonners Ferry’s
landmark buildings.
“As a local community member, I have always had
a vested interest in Bonners Ferry," Tess said.
"Seeing a building downtown with so much
potential and being able to capture its amazing
history and splendor has been something I have
wanted to do for a long time. It has been very
exciting to embrace a concept that is considered
somewhat progressive for our small town.
However, I believe in order to help revitalize
downtown, it is crucial to have the necessary
infrastructure in place. The business center
will be able to offer services that will help
attract new businesses and retain businesses
currently in the area.”
The business center promises to do just that.
Not only does the space feature natural light,
historic character and modern aesthetics, but
the co-working and shared office will also
provide professional office and meeting space
solutions for small businesses and entrepreneurs
with the necessary tools to help them grow and
to prosper.
With 3,400 square foot professional space, The
Plaza Downtown has six private office suites for
rent and also will offer dedicated desks and
flex seating. Dedicated desks and flex seating
are an affordable option for those needing
access to the high-speed Internet and various
business amenities.
The 14x24-foot conference room is available by
the hour, half-day or full day to accommodate
business meetings, video teleconferencing,
training, seminars, mediations and more.
“Having a business center downtown is crucial
for developing entrepreneurs and retail business
activity," said Boundary Economic Director
Dennis Weed. "Every time I meet at the business
center in Sandpoint, I marvel at all of business
activity taking place there. I look forward to
having that in Bonners Ferry, and I am excited
to see all of the great things it will provide
for our residents and businesses.”
Weed will be moving the Boundary Economic
Development office to the new business center
this month.
“The main street location provides a better
opportunity for me to meet and help serve those
looking at Bonners Ferry as a possible location
for their business venture,” he said.
The office space also allows flexibility to use
as little or as often as needed, especially for
those who travel to Bonners Ferry. Financial
Advisor Bruce Pedey has been serving the
community since 1993, traveling back and forth
from Spokane to meet his clientele.
“The Plaza Downtown is a great spot for me and I
am excited to be downtown in my former
hometown,” he said.
Certified Public Accountant James Hutchens and
Ronald Denova of Gateway Financial Partners have
also relocated to the business center and are
co-sharing a space.
“The building looks beautiful and I am happy to
be going in there,” Hutchen said.
Through the month of August, the business center
will be available by appointment with regular
business hours starting in September.
Space is limited and anyone interested in
leasing a private suite or a dedicated desk are
highly encouraged to contact Tess Rae by email

tessrae@theplazadowntown.com to schedule a
