Nice Tri: Spokane businesses look to Tri-Cities for expansion
Acquisitions often provide inroads into market
…Joshua Tripp, principal at Spokane-based Place Landscape Architecture LLC, says his company began working in the Tri-Cities area about 15 years ago and opened an office in Richland three years ago.
At the time, Tripp considered the Tri-Cities for expansion mainly for its proximity to the company’s Spokane headquarters, he says.
Tripp says having an office in the Tri-Cities area also enables the company to serve local and surrounding markets more efficiently. He adds that the Tri-Cities has been a steady source of business since 2020, and business activity there is starting to pick up this year.
He declines to disclose Place Landscape Architecture’s annual revenue but says that the Richland location provides about 10% of the company’s annual revenue. In the next five years, he says, the Tri-Cities office is targeted to grow to 35% to 40% of the company’s annual revenue.
