PMB, a leading healthcare real estate developer, joined The Springs Living and local leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking marking the commencement for The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands. The ceremony was not simply about breaking ground on a new senior living community, it was about celebrating a vision that senior living should be designed to create belonging through care, community and culture, and that investing in people is fundamental to delivering it.

The second co-development between The Springs Living and PMB, The Springs Living at Issaquah Highlands is a 329,250 square-foot, 225-residence senior living community. As the first for The Springs Living in the Seattle region and its 24th community overall, the project responds to the growing pressures across housing, aging, and workforce, and fills a clear gap in the Issaquah market with a more modern, integrated approach to how people want to live as they age.

The five-story community, located in the Issaquah Highlands near Gateway Park and adjacent to Swedish Issaquah Medical Center, is expected to open in late 2028 and will create hundreds of local jobs across caregiving, culinary, hospitality, and operations roles, with a focus on building long-term careers through investment in people and culture. The new community is designed to reflect the character of the Issaquah Highlands and its walkable access to parks and trails. It will include 225 residences across a full continuum of care, offering 114 Independent Living, 84 Assisted Living, and 27 Memory Care apartments. The community’s location adjacent to Swedish Issaquah reflects The Springs Living’s long-term vision for deeper integration with healthcare systems, creating greater alignment between housing, care, and access to services over time.
