Spokane Six shows the way for middle housing

01.29.2026

Heartland is proud to support innovative middle‑housing projects following zoning code reform in Washington. Heartland, led by Ben Wharton, performed site selection, project capitalization, and development management while CAST architecture was design lead and also handled construction management.

This housing type has appeal to households of all shapes and sizes from young families to empty-nesters. It’s an important tool in our toolkit to deliver better housing choice and affordability for the next generation. We hope the success of this six-unit “stacked flat” proof of concept is the first sign that more communities around the region will begin to embrace this versatile housing type.

Congratulations Ben Wharton and Matt Hutchins for their leadership on this project!
