A 2022 visit to Spokane by Lincoln Property, one of the largest private real estate firms in the U.S., highlighted a gap in our knowledge of what life science assets Spokane possesses. By the end of the year, Spokane County, HSSA, Spokane University District, S3R3, and Evergreen Bio committed dollars to fund a life science asset and landscape study. A competitive bid for a study contractor was released in November and Cushman & Wakefield was awarded the contract in February 2023. After a few unexpected delays, the final report was received at the end of July 2023.
