South Landing sits at the foot of Spokane’s new Gateway Pedestrian Bridge, extending the University District with more than 450,000 square feet of completed and planned education, research and office space.
The growing neighborhood is the result of a collaborative effort by diverse industry partners to create a place where business and academia intersect to spark innovation and help students work with top companies to become industry leaders of tomorrow.
South Landing houses a cluster of universities and private-sector companies working together to invent the future of energy. The Spokane EcoDistrict, located in the Morris Center, and The Catalyst Building, one of the nation’s largest zero-carbon, zero-energy buildings, provide an immersive, living laboratory for study and experimentation utilized by Eastern Washington University, Avista, McKinstry and others.
The next phase of South Landing, C Block, invites the opportunity for a new or expanded cluster.
The Health Peninsula will advance regional health education and research through a 178,000 square-foot campus featuring some of Spokane’s most advanced life science lab space. Gonzaga University and the University of Washington will call the Regional Health Partnership Building home when complete in the summer of 2022.
The Regional Health Partnership Building’s top floor and the historic, beautifully renovated SIERR Building next door will round out the neighborhood.
The Health Peninsula will attract top students and companies to solve major healthcare issues across the globe. The cluster’s shared lab facilities, equipment and collaboration spaces encourage efficient operations and impactful advances in healthcare and health education.
Emerald Initiative develops alternative energy assets, often in connection with real estate assets. We are particularly focused on developing renewable energy infrastructure that enables resilient communities and supports electrical grids to deliver carbon-free operations. Every building that Emerald Initiative develops is hyper-efficient, but we recognize that without addressing the broader context within which those buildings operate, we are missing a key piece in the climate solutions puzzle.
Emerald Initiative has developed alternative energy infrastructure projects throughout Washington State and our affiliate company, McKinstry, has participated in the development of renewable energy projects throughout the United States.
