Idaho Central Credit Union to build in Coeur d’Alene

The Idaho Central Credit Union is constructing a three-story building in Coeur d’Alene that will also include office functions.

Lisa Davis, social media strategist for the Chubbuck-based institution, said the new location will have more work space than the existing location does for the credit union’s back office workers. The ground floor will be used for a branch, while the second and third floors will be office space.

The building, to be known as the Appleway branch, is just over 25,000 square feet and is planned to cost about $8.6 million. The architect is LCA Architects and the contractor is J Addington General Contractors, Inc., Davis said.

ICCU has not yet decided what to do with the existing Coeur d’Alene branch on Government Way, Davis added.

The firm, which also has North Idaho branches in Post Falls, Hayden, and Pierce, contributed $10 million in January to the University of Idaho for naming rights to its planned basketball arena, and had indicated at the time that it planned to expand in the area as part of its plan to cover the state. In particular, ICCU said it planned to expand into Lewiston and Moscow, but it has not yet purchased property.

The company also recently remodeled its downtown Nampa branch to give it more space.
