Dutch Bike Co. will be moving into the under-remodel Kolstrand Building on Ballard Avenue this coming January.

The shop, which has been located on Shilshole Avenue just east of the Ballard Bridge for 2.5 years, will double its space in the new location.

David Schmidt, owner of Dutch Bike Co., said the Kolstrand Building is a great historic building, and Ballard Avenue is a destination for many people in Seattle.

The new location will give the shop, which sells, rents and repairs European bicycles, the opportunity to expand the size of its service area, Schmidt said.

He said the new location also has a space behind it that Dutch Bike Co. can use for a large fleet of rental bicycles for tourists.

The shop will be moving into the new 1,500-square-foot space in January 2010 and opening in February.

Schmidt said he is excited to be located among restaurants and cafes in the Kolstrand Building and to put more bicycles on Ballard Avenue.

Dutch Bike Co. is the first of two newly acquired anchor tenants for the Kolstrand Building.

The other is the graphic design agency Turnstyle, which has been located above Matador on Market Street for the past five years.

Matt Diefenbach at Turnstyle said the new location in the Kolstrand building will give the agency a new perspective and the creative venue to grow as a business.

Turnstyle will occupy 6,000 square feet of space, according to a press release from Kolstrand developers evo Properties and CD-Dev Properties.

Turnstyle will be moving into the building in the first quarter of 2010, according to the press release.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Turnstyle and Dutch Bike Co. to the Kolstrand Building,” said Chad Dale, co-developer of the project, in the press release. “Their strong existing business and plans for continued growth, combined with their dedication to Ballard, makes them a perfect addition to the building. We are looking forward to filling the remaining spaces with similar, like-minded organizations.”

The Kolstrand Building is located at 4743 Ballard Ave. N.W. It was built in the early 1900s and served as the metal machinery and distribution location for the Kolstrand Marine Supply Company for 80 years.

The first floor of the three-story building will be used for retail and restaurant space. The top two floors will be office space.

Work/loft units will be added to the building in mid-2010 where a rear parking lot currently exists, according to the press release.
