B: A Partnership with Thrive International (Coming Soon)

In partnership with Spokane Public Library, Thrive International will develop at least 45 units of affordable housing on a 1.62-acre lot at 6980 North Nevada Street, a vacant property that the Library has owned since the 1990s. In addition to housing, the development, named B, will feature public event and learning space operated by the Library as well as a playground, greenhouse, and a 24/7 Library kiosk. 

Half of the units of the affordable housing will be reserved for refugees, with the other half open to the general population. This mixed-income model aims to foster greater understanding between new Americans and long-term residents. The Library will manage the public event and learning space as part of the more than 40 public event spaces available at seven other locations and will program free community education events.

The property will affectionately be called B. Inspired by the name of our other partnership property, The Hive, B aims to create a different kind of reality. A better kind of space. A world where everyone can find safety, connection, and belonging. A place where individuality is celebrated, where hope flourishes, and where innovation lights the way forward. At its core, B is about the heart—the heart of Spokane, the heart of every human being. It is about creating spaces where everyone can connect, heal, and thrive.

We look forward to seeing you there when the project opens in mid-2026.
