All the construction activity at the Providence John Gabriel House is resulting in a great deal of progress on the project located at 8632 160th Ave. NE. New building elements to the structure emerge each day to add to
the excitement of seeing this affordable senior housing project come into being.
The development will provide 74 affordable rental apartments for seniors in Downtown Redmond. In addition to the residential use, there will be 8,000 square feet on the first floor for a PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) health and wellness center, also managed by Providence Health & Services, which will serve eligible residents of the community. The site is located on the east side of 160th Ave. across from the Redmond Library, municipal campus and Redmond Senior Center. It is also on the Rapid Ride transit line and is close to medical, shopping and recreational facilities, such as the Sammamish River Regional Trail. The City Council approved a long-term (75 year) low-cost lease of the property to Providence Health & Services for affordable senior housing.
The building is five levels built over structured below grade parking. The residential portion will serve seniors aged 62 or over, with household incomes at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). For a one-person household, the maximum allowable income is currently $37,980, and that maximum increases for larger households. In addition to the PACE Center on the north end of the building, the ground floor residential area will have an on-site manager’s unit with management offices, lobby/sitting area and community meeting rooms. These community spaces will be oriented towards the southern part of the site where they connect with the existing downtown pedestrian trail system.
Providence John Gabriel House will be a wonderful addition to the City of Redmond, providing affordable housing opportunities and health care services for senior adults.
