The Watermark is a thoughtfully designed senior living community located in the heart of Portland's vibrant Pearl District. Blending seamlessly into the urban fabric, this high-end residence offers a dynamic mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care units, all designed to foster both autonomy and social connection. With stunning views of the Willamette River from luxury units, the building serves as a sophisticated home for seniors, while also connecting them to the lively community surrounding them. The design prioritizes accessibility and engagement, with outdoor spaces designed for every level of care. The street-level amenity base, in keeping with the district’s historic character, features traditional brick detailing and an elevated loading dock. Here, residents can gather in a public salon, interacting with people from the wider community. For residents in memory care, a secure, secluded courtyard on the ground floor ensures both safety and privacy while offering a peaceful retreat. Rising above, the tower itself serves as a modern aesthetic bridge to the surrounding developments in the Pearl District. Positioned thoughtfully on 13th Avenue, the building is designed to minimize shadow on neighboring properties and maximize light for future developments. The Watermark balances historic charm with modern sustainability. The building features high-performance exterior walls with a brick façade mounted on a thermally broken rainscreen system, ensuring excellent energy efficiency. Its environmentally conscious design includes a nearly 100% green roof, deep plantings on almost every elevated level, and bird-safe glazing, making it a model of modern, eco-friendly senior living. This new community offers not only luxury but also a sense of connection and place for its residents, all within one of Portland's most artistic and historic neighborhoods.
