LOREN BENOIT/Press UPA Construction Group Inc. superintendent Kent Hueser, center, gives a tour of the 11th floor of One Lakeside for a group of renters and owners Thursday in downtown Coeur d’Alene.

COEUR d'ALENE — One Lakeside has two more stories to go.

The downtown luxury condominiums under construction with a crane at First Street and Lakeside Avenue stands at 13 stories and will rise to 15.

The project, which will cost about $40 million, is about six weeks behind schedule. The estimated completion date is May 2020, said Greg Hills, whose family owns Austin Lawrence Partners, the managing partner of One Lakeside.

"The snowfall and some design issues slowed it down, but we'll still be done before the summer season," Hills said.

Twenty of the 40 condos for sale have sold. The prices range from $399,000 to $2.35 million.

"We are very pleased with the response," Hills said, adding that the Century 21 team of Sandi Bloem, Kurt Lundblad and Mark Parisot have the units listed.

The building will also have 29 short-term furnished rental condos on the fourth through sixth floors. The rates will be determined next spring and vary by season, Hills said.

The building will have a modern feel with lots of glass, hardwood floors, high ceilings and stainless-steel appliances with sweeping views of Lake Coeur d'Alene, the mountains and the city. The units will have one to three bedrooms.

The 15th floor, referred to as the Club Level, will have couches, fire pits, hot tubs, a lounge and fitness area. It will offer a combination of covered and open space.

"What the developer has created is a lifestyle building that doesn't exist in our city or anywhere in the Northwest," Bloem said. "The amenities of the building are amazing."

The 105-lot garage takes up the first three levels. The building will comprise 170,000 square feet.

Hills' company has developed projects of up to 30 stories in cities such as Durham, N.C., and Aspen, Colo.

Hills said 15 stories was appropriate for Coeur d'Alene.

Hills owned a home on the lake, plans to own a One Lakeside unit and has a boat slip at The Coeur d'Alene Resort.

While he doesn't have any immediate plans to build another project in North Idaho, he added, "I wouldn't be surprised if we do more in the area."

One Lakeside faced hurdles early on. Some neighbors, who voiced concerns about the building blocking their views, accused the city of not adhering to a review process. A court found the city followed its own rules. The city then denied an appeal to review the project again.
