MOSES LAKE - A new Subway restaurant, Mexican restaurant, laundromat and urgent care facility are some of the businesses being considered for the new Gateway Commerce Center.
The ASPI Group's 12,000 square-foot building on ASPI Boulevard in Moses Lake is done, announced the project's builder, Russell Construction, Inc., Wednesday.
The site is located across from Moses Lake Senior Living Community.
It is the fourth project the Tualatin, Ore.-based Russell Construction completed for ASPI Group, a major landowner near the Grant County International Airport.
Gary Mann and Rich Makela, both of Gary Mann Real Estate in Moses Lake, are in charge of leasing the building to businesses, Makela said.
Makela said they are working with the Moses Lake Subway owner to add a store location inside the Gateway Commerce Center.
The Subway owner wants to expand and open a fourth Subway in Moses Lake. Subway stores are already located inside the Moses Lake Walmart, on Stratford Road and near Moses Lake High School.
They are also working with a man wanting to open a Mexican restaurant inside the center.
A bank branch is another possible addition to serve the undeveloped area of Moses Lake and Grant County.
Some estimates have 13,000 residents, businesses and college students and employees living or working in the neighborhood near the former Larson Air Force Base.
Kim Foster, ASPI Group's corporate council, said the new building has enough water and sewer capacity for a laundromat.
The company's vision is to not just stop work once tenants fill the building.
ASPI Group wants to someday build an identical building nearby.
Russell Construction hired about 70 workers for the project, with 90 percent of them from Moses Lake and Spokane, said the company's Senior Project Manager Mike Brown.
