A new building is rising at 2303 Northwest Blvd on the Northwest side of Spokane that will provide a new kind of housing for the area. That site will be the Excelsior Wellness Intergenerational Living Community. The community is designed to foster a sense of mutual stability and mentorship be intentionally pairing transitional-age youth (ages 18-24) with older adults (ages 55 and over) in a 24 unit apartment complex.

Ground was officially broken on the new community back in September and they hope to have the project complete and ready for move ins during the Summer of 2026. Multiple organizations are driving this new project including Courage Housing of San Diego and locally based Millenium Northwest for development. Bernardo Wills is in charge of the architecture; Yost Gallagher Construction is the general contractor with financing from Washington State Bank (and a $1.5MM equity-investor with community focused terms).

The ground floor units in the completed project will be specifically designed for accessibility. Architectural plans show various physical amenities like and open lawn area with a dog area, BBQ area with picnic table, a bike path with dedicated bike storage, EV power/charging, EV ready and EV compatible parking stalls, and accessible parking stalls.
