A celebratory grand opening ceremony took place to mark the completion of The Springs at The Waterfront in Vancouver, Washington. The new twelve-story, 360,000-sqaure-foot, 250-unit community for older adults is part of the Waterfront Master Plan in Vancouver, Washington. Designed as an optimum environment for the health and well-being of residents and staff, the community has been designed with the intention of meeting the rigorous standards for LEED Gold Certification which rates systems for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green buildings, as well as FitWel Certification which uses evidence-based design and operational strategies to optimize occupant health.

PMB joint ventured with The Springs Living to introduce this new, high-end urban senior living option at the well-established master plan, which builds off The Springs Living’s recent success in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The Master Plan at Vancouver Waterfront is 32 acres in total and includes seven acres of parks, residential apartments, office, hotels and walkable retail and restaurants. Situated along the south-facing riverfront, residents and visitors have easy access to top restaurants, wine tasting rooms and a half-mile waterfront path that is ideal for strolling and outdoor activities. The Springs at The Waterfront provides a mix of independent living, assisted living and memory care apartments that feature stunning views of the Columbia River and surrounding mountains. Interior spaces are warm and inviting and feature high-end amenities and services suitable for an urban setting, including secure underground parking.

Where tradition meets innovation, The Springs at The Waterfront features a spa and wellness center, indoor pool and spa, and multiple dining venues that reflect the company’s Art of Delicious philosophy using local and fresh ingredients. Inside the community, Fancho’s Public House offers residents casual fare and a full bar overlooking the waterfront park and Columbia River. The Springs at The Waterfront provides a continuum of care options for its residents, including 182 independent living units, 48 assisted living units and 20 memory care units.

The community is creating over 100 jobs in Washington State to serve 300-plus residents. At The Springs at the Waterfront, a resident’s lifestyle is supported as the individual ages. Residents can enjoy their lifestyle whether they are completely independent, need more assistance with daily needs, or require a personalized memory care plan. About 50 percent of the units have already been reserved, and the community is currently accepting new reservations.

San Diego-based PMB led the development of the project, the community design was created by Portland-based GBD Architects, and the contractor is Howard S. Wright, a Balfour Beatty company based in Portland, Ore. Capital partners include Harrison St., Huntington Bank, City National Bank, Comerica Bank and First National Bank.
