Experience Senior Living and Stellar Senior Living Celebrate the Opening of The Gallery at Spokane

The three-story, 137-unit independent living, assisted living, and memory care community marks the second development in the two company’s joint venture.

Spokane, WA, January 15, 2024 –

Experience Senior Living (ESL), a Denver-based senior housing operator and developer, and Stellar Senior Living, a Utah-based, family owned and operated senior living provider, announced the opening of their second development of their joint venture in Spokane, Washington. The Gallery at Spokane officially opened on Monday, January 15, and will serve the growing population of Spokane and surrounding areas.

Completing the development team was Denver-based OZ Architecture, and general contractor Walker Construction, headquartered in Spokane.

The three story, 137-unit rental community offers a full continuum of care allowing residents to age and transition in place, something that is rare in the Spokane market. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care are all within the 121,408 square foot residence. Specific units are equipped with full kitchens for those desiring more cooking flexibility, including some full kitchens in assisted living, which is also not seen in many communities.

The Gallery at Spokane caters to individuals in search of an elevated lifestyle. The community provides an array of amenities, such as a contemporary cafe open to the public for all-day dining, private walking paths, a salon, housekeeping, laundry services, transportation, and an activities director to plan excursions for both independent and assisted-living residents to enjoy. The courtyard is strategically designed to host food trucks, and the second-floor bar provides scenic views of the South Hill area in Spokane.

Incorporating local materials and artists was another priority in the design that’s expected to appeal to residents.

“We are so proud to have The Gallery at Spokane join the Gallery collection of communities, and welcome residents, their families, and team members this week, commented Experience Senior Living President Phill Barklow. “Spokane is an incredibly beautiful and diverse city, and we look forward to being a part of this community.”

The Gallery at Spokane’s Executive Director, Becky Monday, is glad the day to finally serve their residents has arrived. “Opening day comes with anticipated excitement and tremendous behind-the-scenes efforts from amazing staff. We cannot overstate how pleased we are to welcome our residents, impress our families, grow our staff, build the business, and enhance everyone’s daily experiences.”

The community will open at around 70% pre-leased, with 100% occupancy expected sometime in 2024.
