Family law attorney Jennifer LaCoste has completed a 15,000-square-foot office building that will serve as a forever home for her Kennewick firm.

Located on a 15,000 square-foot lot at 2062 N. Steptoe St., this modern two-story building was designed by DKEI Architecture.

The occupied portion, currently home to LaCoste Law, is 4,952 square feet.

The future tenant improvement space is an open concept space ready for buildout, with 1,851 square feet on the first floor and 1,964 square feet on the second floor.

The designer of the building was Chris Baugh of DKEI. He created a space that accurately depicted the LaCoste team’s wishes and “vibe” of old library meets modern industrial.

LaCoste’s vision to own her own firm was inspired by her grandmother, Roberta LaCoste, an educator and author, to whom the building is dedicated.

The total project cost, including the land, which was purchased separately in 2020, is just under $2.7 million.

“This building shows that local businesses like LaCoste Law have the resources to successfully build their dream firm using Tri-Cities-based companies. It’s proof of the high-quality businesses available in the Tri-Cities but also the fact that this community is happy to support one another at a business-to-business level. Ms. LaCoste hopes to pay that forward by providing the opportunity for local or abroad a la carte entrepreneurs to hold meetings and trainings in their high-tech conference room. LaCoste Law takes pride in being a Tri-Cities-based law firm and this building shows that they have a commitment to bringing excellence to the Tri-City area for many years to come,” LaCoste wrote in a statement.

Hummel Construction finished the project in early August.

The project and construction managers at Hummel Constuction, Chris O’Neil and Colten Montgomery, helped Shawna Ihde, firm administrator at LaCoste Law, oversee the project without assistance from an outside company.
