Multi‑phase senior living campus expansion

Franke Tobey Jones Senior Living Community expanded its historic Tacoma campus with new independent living and skilled nursing facilities. AHBL provided civil and structural engineering and landscape architecture services for the multi-phase project, including a 40,000 SF apartment building over a concrete podium and a 60,000 SF memory care facility. The site design prioritized ADA accessibility, stormwater management, and seamless integration with existing infrastructure and topography. Eight therapeutic courtyards were created to support resident wellness, featuring occupational therapy elements, raised garden beds, and preserved historic features like limestone steps and wisteria. AHBL’s thoughtful design honored the legacy of the campus while enhancing care offerings for a diverse senior population.
