Summary, model-written

508 West in Spokane is a built office-park retrofit to housing (new_use: housing), verified as "reinhabit" strategy. It is already complete (status: built), with no current development opportunity (opp_score: 0.0).

Why. The site is surrounded by other built projects within 1.3km (Macy's building, Hart Field, River Park Square), all using "reinhabit" strategy. Housing market shows county-wide growth (ZHVI +8.5% 5y), but no site-specific housing data is provided. Permits show 1,621 single-family units built in Spokane County in 2024, but this is not site-specific.

Where it stands. No current development opportunity (already built). Context shows high density of similar retrofits nearby. Unknown: exact housing units at this site, construction timeline, or specific market demand met by this project.
