In 'real-estate play,' Spokane buyers grab Eagle restaurant on 5 acres. Guess what's coming?
Michael Deeds, The Idaho Statesman
Apr. 1—Despite skyrocketing prices, Boise's real-estate glass looks half full to Spokane business partners Matt Goodwin and Jordan Tampien.
Overflowing, actually. With potential. Not to mention beer.
After recent high-profile purchases in Boise — including the former Dutch Goose and Crescent Bar properties — the men are taking over The Flats 16 Restaurant and Event Center at 3705 Idaho 16 in Eagle, which has been sold. It's part of a 20-acre land purchase this week by a separate Spokane investor, Goodwin said.
Goodwin and Tampien are leasing The Flats 16 from that investor with an option to buy, which they plan to do in five to nine months. No significant changes will be made in the short term, Goodwin said. Previously booked weddings and other events will be honored in 2021. In fact, he said, they are actively seeking more bookings through the end of the year.
