🌟 Riverview Mentioned in The Spokesman-Review! 📰
Our new upcoming expansions were mentioned in Sunday's issue of the Spokesman, the excerpt of which can be read below:

A sprawling 35-acre retirement community along the banks of the Spokane river, located northeast of Avista Corp. headquarters, will soon see major changes.
Owners of the Riverview Retirement Community are planning two major expansions that will cost more than $50 million, according to a construction permit application submitted to the city of Spokane.
Application documents show plans for a 31-unit luxury condominium dubbed the Crest and an 81-unit independent living facility called the Heights.
Danie Monaghan, president and CEO of the Riverview operation, explained the significance of the expansion projects.
“The Heights and the Crest represent more than new buildings for Riverview – they represent the natural growth of a community that has always believed seniors deserve choice, dignity and a sense of belonging at every stage of life,” Monaghan said. “As Spokane’s first senior living community, Riverview was built on the idea of serving older adults in a way that felt personal and forward-thinking, and this project continues that legacy in a new and meaningful way.”
Set to open in the fall of 2028, the Crest will feature condominium units that are roughly 1,400 to 1,700 square feet, according to its website. The three story structure will combine with new campus amenities including a bar and restaurant and outdoor lounge area.
The campus already has a coffee shop, community garden, lap swimming pool, fitness center, hot tub and a workshop for activities like woodworking.
Located at 1777 E. Upriver Drive, the Crest will be a roughly 20,000 square foot building and is estimated to cost about $10.4 million, application documents show.
Monaghan said the building is unique to the senior living market.
“The Crest is different by design. It’s for active, engaged seniors who want the freedom of an independent lifestyle paired with the comfort of knowing support, connection, and community are close at hand,” she said. “The inspiration behind this project came from listening to our residents, to our families and to a new generation of seniors who want something modern, vibrant, and intentional without losing the warmth Riverview is known for.”
Set to break ground early this year, the Heights will stand four stories tall and have a footprint of roughly 40,000 square feet.
Located at 1841 E. Upriver Drive, the independent living facility will consist of units spanning about 900 to 1,400 square feet.
The Heights will be developed with new amenities including a rooftop patio and lounge, a dog park, a landscaped garden, an auditorium and classrooms.
The cost of construction is estimated at $42 million.
Bellevue-based Wattenbarger Architects designed both buildings. Spokane-based Yost-Gallagher Construction will build the Crest and Spokane-based Bouten Construction will construct the Heights.
