Environments for Aging - Summer 2021 - 18

n 2012, The Springs Living, which
owns and operates 18 senior
living communities in Oregon and
Montana, purchased Carman
Oaks in Lake Oswego, Ore. The
community was renamed The
Springs at Carman Oaks and two
years later underwent a major
renovation of its 145 independent
living, 17 assisted living, and 16 memory care
units, with an additional expansion including
a swimming pool, spa, wellness center, gym,
salon, dining options, and outdoor patio.
After a few years, however, Fee Stubblefi
eld, founder and CEO of The Springs Living
(McMinnville, Ore.), saw that many of Carman
Oaks' independent living residents looked
elsewhere when they needed additional care
because of the small number of assisted
living apartments available. To address the
issue, Stubblefi eld set his sights on developing
another senior living community nearby to
" complement what we already had, " he says.
Stubblefi eld also saw the new project as
an opportunity to better integrate The Springs
Living within the greater urban fabric of the
surrounding neighborhood, an effort that

would both distinguish it and diversify the provider's
offerings (Carman Oaks, for example,
is located in a secluded woodside setting).
Stubblefi eld also sought to create a fl agship
that would serve as a gateway to Lake Oswego,
a bustling town of 40,000, which fi rst
required fi nding an ideal location.
Site challenges
A vacant 4.5-acre property not far from a major
interstate and a connector between residential
and commercial districts provided just
that for the new The Springs at Lake Oswego,
opened in January 2020. " It's a perfect location
because it is front and center, " Stubblefi
eld says, adding that The Springs at Lake
Oswego anchors one end of a pedestrian path
that leads to shops and restaurants.
However, despite being a perfect location,
the site itself came with several challenges
including 30 feet of height change diagonally
from one corner of the site to another. Additionally,
anything built on the site would have to stay
below a 45-foot height limit as required by local
zoning regulations, with that limit measured
from the existing grade. This meant that builders
couldn't remove dirt and measure from a new,
lowered grade, explains Ray Yancey, director of
senior living at LRS Architects (Portland, Ore.),
which served as architect of record on the
project. " We didn't have much fl exibility with the
height of the building, " he says.
Furthermore, city zoning required that existing
mature trees (greater than 8 feet in diameter)
located within the fi rst 8 feet of the property line
along the street frontage be preserved and that
