McKinstry, Avista Top Out Hub at Spokane’s South Landing Development

McKinstry and Spokane, WA-based Avista Development officially topped out the Hub in Spokane’s South Landing development. The four-story building will feature 40,000 square feet of leased space that includes offices and a full-service restaurant.

Hub will house a central energy plant to power the facility as well as Catalyst, a neighboring five-story, 159,000-square-foot building. Catalyst (pictured), which is on track to top out in early October, will be one of the nation’s largest zero energy and zero carbon buildings. It will feature the latest smart building technologies and energy systems, including solar photovoltaics (PV), solar shading, exhaust heat recovery, thermal energy and battery storage systems and a near-passive house building envelope.

Future facilities built within South Landing will be added to the Hub’s central energy plant to expand the development’s shared energy eco-district. Catalyst will be one of the nation’s largest cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings. Hub and Catalyst are both expected to deliver next summer.
