POST FALLS — After a "period of pause," construction has begun on Rooted Social House at 310 N. Spokane St. 

Spokane-based HDG Architecture, the firm behind the project, called the next phase "a meaningful step forward."

"(This was) made possible through close coordination between the Client, the city of Post Falls and our team at HDG Architecture," a Facebook post dated Dec. 15 read. 

Rooted is an elevated space offering food, coffee, tea and entertainment in a social house setting. 

The project is the latest of HDG's endeavors along Spokane Street, which also broke ground on the 33-unit "Nonna" mixed-use building directly across from Post Falls City Hall.

Rooted marks the fourth HDG-designed space for the area. 

"This thoughtfully designed space continues our commitment to shaping a walkable, character-rich district," the firm said.

Rooted's completion date is unknown at this point; however, "Nonna" is expected to be completed by October 2026.
