New Waterfront Project For Seniors

The Springs Living is an Oregon based retirement community developer that specializes in the full range of senior living from fully independent, to assisted care and beyond. They have several locations in Oregon and Montana including many in the metro area. But now they have submitted a proposal to erect a 12 story high rise development on block 18 at the Vancouver Waterfront.

This project has all the advantages of retiring in Washington State and offers an urban location right on the the shore of the mighty Columbia River.

The proposal has been met with enthusiasm by the developer of the Waterfront and the city so it should have a fairly easy ride through the permitting process. Vancouver's amazing waterfront is a mixed use neighborhood that is quickly becoming a regional destination. The waterfront park features a centerpiece cable suspended pier. Restaurants, shops, and services are flocking to the area. I think it is safe to say this new project will be the premier urban senior living development in the greater Portland-Vancouver area.

Vancouver Washington is a great spot for retirees with close proximity to Portland, without that draconian Oregon income tax. For more information on Vancouver USAs rapidly rising urban core, visit Urban Living in the 'Couv' right here. 

Retire to the Waterfront

Gramor Development and The Springs Living announced plans for Block 18 on Vancouver's amazing waterfront recently and have followed up with architectural drawings and additional details.

This will be the first Senior Living project on the waterfront. The Springs Living is an Oregon based retirement community developer that creates communities with a full range of senior living and care facilities. They have several projects in the Portland Metro region and a couple in Montana. This will be their first Washington property.

This is slated to be a full service senior living facility offering a bit of everything from independent living, assisted care, memory care and more. The Vancouver Business Journal interviewed the CEO of The Springs Living and he noted that Waterfront is a good fit for this project. I agree with that sentiment. The Vancouver Waterfront is a destination neighborhood that beckons family to come visit and allows retirees a walk-able area to enjoy along the great river of the west.

It's a good looking building with an offset shape that follows the contour of the block. This project is in the early phase of local government review and would likely not break ground until mid-2020.

For retirees looking for an urban experience Vancouver Washington has a variety of secure mid-rise and high-rise projects in urban walk-able neighborhoods. This project is for those looking for a full service senior living experience. 


 

High-rise Condo Living, well suited to Retirees

Many retirees are looking for living arrangements that don't require a bunch of yard work or travel to get to activities. Downtown urban condo living could fit the bill quite nicely for some. In SW Washington, Vancouver has a nice opportunity to own a high-rise condo unit with views of the Columbia River, Esther Short Park, and as many as five Majestic Cascade Volcanoes.

A short ride down the elevator to the street offers up everything your need in a few blocks. restaurants, post office, stores of all kinds, the park, waterfront, government agencies, banks, insurance, you name it and you can walk there.

This style is not for everyone, but it could be for quite a few retirees. 2 bedroom units range from $300,000 to well over a million dollars depending on the view and of course the interior decor and quality. Vancouver's downtown and waterfront area is rapidly becoming the hot spot for urban living in the Portland-Vancouver metro area.
