Featured Transaction: Seattle Senior Housing Community
IRA invested in a newly purpose-built, Class A senior housing community offering a full continuum of care across independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The property was developed in two phases, creating meaningful scale within a highly supply-constrained market. Phase I, completed in 2013, included the primary building, core amenities, and 131 units. Phase II, delivered in 2020, added a new wing comprising an additional 122 units, resulting in a total of 253 units. The expansion provided significant scale in a market characterized by lengthy entitlement timelines, limited infill development opportunities, and elevated construction costs.
The Seattle, Washington senior housing market is widely regarded as one of the strongest in the country, supported by favorable demographics and high sector-wide occupancy. Newer vintage assets within the metro area (approximately 2–10 years old) report occupancy levels near 93%, reinforcing the market’s depth and demand profile.
The community is highly amenitized, featuring a large dining facility, theater, fitness center, bistro and bar, resident den, nurse station, dedicated activities space, salon, landscaped courtyard, and card room. The comprehensive amenity package enhances resident experience, supports leasing velocity, and strengthens long-term competitive positioning within the market.
