MBK Senior Living announced that construction has officially begun on a comprehensive renovation of The Bellettini, a senior living community in the heart of downtown Bellevue, Washington. The transformation is expected to be completed in Summer 2026.

The transformation will enhance key shared spaces throughout the community, including the lobby, concierge and valet areas, and signature dining venues. “This renovation reflects a deep respect for what The Bellettini has always been, while thoughtfully enhancing how it feels to live here each day,” said Brian Prouty, Executive Director of The Bellettini.

“We’re creating an environment that feels both elevated and comfortable—where residents can continue to enjoy the connections, experiences, and sense of ease they value, now within beautifully refreshed surroundings.”

The Bellettini features 144 independent and assisted living apartments. MBK Senior Living is a provider of independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities across the Western United States.

Koelsch Communities announced the early success of the largest campus in its portfolio – University Village – in Vancouver, Washington. Additionally, construction on its newest communities located in Bellevue nears completion, with an anticipated opening in Summer 2024.

Koelsch Construction was the general contractor for both developments, with Shearer Construction as a partner on the Belle Harbour project. The interior design of both campuses was managed by Judy Koelsch and JSK Design.

The $112 million University Village development encompasses 13 acres and features 136 suites in its independent living community, The Park at University Village, and 101 suites in its assisted living community, The Inn at University Village. Additionally, The Park has 26 cottages comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes.

More than 160 miles north of Vancouver in Bellevue, construction nears completion on the $93 million Belle Harbour project, home to The Park at Belle Harbour, an assisted living community, and The Inn at Belle Harbour, a dedicated memory care community. Spanning nearly three acres, the boutique campus features 145 suites across both buildings.
