Portlanders living at RoseVilla Senior Living will see new independent and assisted living units alongside a wellness center under a recently announced campus expansion. The non-profit organization incorporated feedback from resident-led work groups to design the upcoming facilities.
Why it matters
This project aims to meet the increasing demand for assisted living in Portland while pushing toward net-positive energy goals. The development reflects a broader effort to align campus infrastructure with the values of the older adults who live there.
The expansion includes a $40 million wellness center, a 200,000-square-foot timber building, and new units totaling 54 independent and 31 assisted living homes. It remains unknown how the projected 20% to 25% staff increase will be phased in before the 2029 completion.
The players
RoseVilla Senior Living
A non-profit life plan community located in Portland.
Green Hammer Design Build
The construction firm tasked with building the new campus facilities.
Hacker Architects
The architectural firm responsible for the design of the expansion project.
The details
RoseVilla will construct the mass-timber RainWood Lofts and a 6,000-square-foot wellness center with help from Green Hammer Design Build and Hacker Architects. Sixty older adults participated in the design process through resident-led work groups. Currently, 11 of the 12 planned Mahonia EcoHomes are reserved by those on the organization's waiting list.

Beyond the Bridges
The campus expansion follows the city's broader trend of prioritizing sustainable building designs, such as those encouraged by the 2020 Portland Climate Investment Plan. The project's intent to generate surplus solar power marks a significant step toward net-zero operations for the community.
Residents and those on the organization's waiting list should look for upcoming updates on the 2029 construction timeline. Prospective staff members can anticipate hiring opportunities as the campus prepares to increase its total headcount by up to 25%.
The takeaway
The project serves as a model for how non-profits can integrate member feedback into large-scale infrastructure planning. Watch for the 2029 completion date to see how the site's solar energy output performs against the projected 105% generation goal.
