Groundbreaking Ceremony for The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands

On June 10, 2026, PMB, a prominent developer in healthcare real estate, and The Springs Living, alongside local leaders, celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for their latest senior living project, The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands. This marks a significant milestone not just in construction, but in the commitment to providing contemporary living spaces tailored to seniors.

The new community will feature a sprawling 329,250 square feet of space and 225 residences, designed to meet the growing demand for modern senior housing in the Eastside region of Seattle. It aims to fill a noticeable gap in the local market, offering a blend of independent living, assisted living, and memory care options. This development is not only the first of its kind for The Springs Living in Seattle but also their 24th community overall.

Vision and Design

The design philosophy behind The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands centers around fostering a sense of belonging—creating an environment where seniors can thrive, connect, and engage in meaningful ways. Bill Jencks, Partner and EVP at PMB, emphasized the importance of community-driven design, stating, "Our residents choose our communities for the quality of life they enable." The new facility is strategically situated near Gateway Park and is adjacent to the Swedish Issaquah Medical Center, reflecting a long-term vision for deeper integration of healthcare services within senior living.

The five-story building will include 114 Independent Living, 84 Assisted Living, and 27 Memory Care apartments, catering to a full continuum of care. The project not only aims to provide housing but also focuses on creating employment opportunities in various sectors, including caregiving and culinary services, thereby boosting the local economy.

Economic Impact

Anticipating completion in late 2028, The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands is projected to create hundreds of local jobs across multiple disciplines such as hospitality, caregiving, and operations. This commitment to employment aligns with PMB’s ethos of building long-term careers and investing in the local workforce.

This groundbreaking event is also a testament to PMB's expansive portfolio, which includes over $600 million in senior living projects and $6.5 billion in various healthcare developments encompassing outpatient and behavioral health facilities.

Jake Rohe, Managing Partner and President of PMB, pointed out the project's significance in cultivating lasting partnerships, stating, "This development process itself is a place to cultivate relationships and durable partnerships." Such collaboration is evident with key partners including Harrison Street Asset Management and Huntington National Bank, who play pivotal roles in financing this community.

Community-Centric Approach

The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands is designed to reflect the essence of its neighborhood, featuring walkability to nearby parks and trails, thereby encouraging a healthy lifestyle for its residents. This approach not only enhances the quality of life for seniors but also strengthens community ties, ultimately benefiting the local area.

As PMB continues expanding its reach within the realm of healthcare real estate, it remains steadfast in its mission to improve healthcare delivery and positively impact communities. With over 130 facilities developed so far, their expertise in realizing healthcare projects positions them as leaders in the sector.
