The Parkside View Apartments provides 59 new Independent Living residences for Franke Tobey Jones in Tacoma. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Tudor-style architecture of this historic senior living community, the project provides homes and amenities with a fresh and updated feel and light-filled spaces. Located on a previously underutilized sloping site, the new apartment building provides much needed homes, a variety of dining venues, and improved amenity spaces for the community.
The building sets into the property’s natural slope, minimizing height and enhancing the character of the building with framing views of Point Defiance Park’s tree canopy, Puget Sound, and Mt. Rainier. Using the site’s natural grade, the Amenity Level provides direct access to outdoor courtyards and gardens with a welcoming at-grade entrance, and a parking structure tucked discreetly below.
Prominent outdoor spaces, including courtyards and outdoor rooms, promote wellness, encourage activity, and maximize access to natural light. Residents enjoy access to a variety of dining venues, wellness center, and versatile multipurpose rooms, all designed to foster community, comfort, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
