The Springs Living Opens The Springs at The Waterfront

November 20, 2024

VANCOUVER, WA — The Springs Living has announced in a press release the opening of its first community in Washington. The Springs at The Waterfront, a 12-story residential community is located in the recently revitalized waterfront neighborhood on the Columbia River in Vancouver. The community for older adults has created 150 jobs to serve approximately 300 residents.

“The goal of the Waterfront Development Project is to provide a dynamic and vibrant mixed-use space for all,” said Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle. “With its emphasis on supporting the holistic wellness of its active residents, The Springs at The Waterfront community is a welcome addition to the diversity of development the waterfront offers.”

Located at The Waterfront Vancouver just eight miles north of Portland, Oregon, The Springs at The Waterfront’s ground-floor fireside lounge leads from the main lobby to access Waterfront Park, where extensive walking and biking paths are mixed with playgrounds, water features, and outdoor dining. The walkable district of restaurants and support services, and the city’s most active farmer’s market, can be found steps away.

Designed as an optimum environment for the health and wellbeing of residents and staff, The Springs at The Waterfront has been built to meet the standards for LEED certification, which rates systems for the construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, and Fitwel certification, which uses evidence-based design and operational strategies to enhance occupant health.

The community features a spa and wellness center, an indoor pool, and a wine bar adjacent to an outdoor roof deck featuring garden beds, a putting green, and a dog run with views of Mount Hood and the surrounding urban environment. Multiple dining venues reflect The Springs Living’s Art of Delicious philosophy, influenced by scratch cooking, inspired by Blue Zone nutrition, and made with the freshest ingredients that mirror the earth’s natural rhythms. Fancho’s Public House offers residents upscale casual fare and a full bar inside the community. The Springs at The Waterfront provides a continuum of care options for its residents, from independent living to assisted living and memory care.

“We have taken everything we’ve learned over the past 30 years and poured it into The Springs at The Waterfront,” said Fee Stubblefield, founder/CEO of The Springs Living. “The result is more than just a beautiful environment. It’s full of energy and a great place to thrive. It’s our staff that truly makes the difference.”

The Springs at The Waterfront provides a mix of floorplans showcasing views of the Columbia River and surrounding mountains. Interior spaces are designed to bring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest inside, with high-end amenities and services suitable to an urban setting, including secure underground parking.

The community design and construction resulted from a collaborative effort between GBD Architects, Howard S. Wright Construction, and The Springs Living, all based in Oregon. The project’s development partner, PMB, is a healthcare real estate development company based in San Diego, California. Capital partners include Harrison Street, Huntington Bank, City National Bank, Comerica Bank, and First National Bank.

Based in McMinnville, Oregon, The Springs Living serves older adults for nearly 30 years. The company has 20 communities in Oregon, Montana, and now in Washington.
