The Grand at Spokane, a premier senior living community, is located at 5401 S Regal Street in Spokane, Washington.

The acquisition was made on behalf of one of Clarion’s commingled funds and underscores the firm’s continued focus on high-quality healthcare and specialized real estate investments in demographically compelling markets.

Delivered in 2024 and developed by NexCore Group, The Grand at Spokane (formerly The Gallery at Spokane) is a luxury 137-unit, purpose-built senior care community offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. The property is fully licensed and designed to support residents as their care needs evolve, allowing for continuity of care within a single community.

The Grand at Spokane features modern construction delivered in a unique architectural design, spacious floor plans, and upscale finishes that distinguish it from older competitive properties in the area. Offering a hospitality-driven experience tailored to discerning residents, the community offers a robust suite of amenities designed to support resident wellness, comfort, and engagement. From contemporary common areas like The Sky Lounge, which serves as a vibrant hub for resident programming, to restaurant-style dining with a culinary program managed by Chef Estevan Ruiz, the spaces are thoughtfully designed for entertainment, comfort and safety.

Located in the South Hill area of Spokane, the facility services an affluent submarket characterized by strong household wealth, favorable long-term demographics, and limited new competitive supply. The surrounding area benefits from proximity to major healthcare institutions, neighborhood retail, and established residential communities, making it an attractive option for both residents and their families.

The Grand at Spokane will continue to be operated by Stellar Senior Living, the property’s incumbent operator. Stellar is a family-owned senior living platform with deep experience across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing communities throughout the Western and Mountain regions of the United States.

Stellar manages a diversified portfolio of senior housing communities and is widely recognized for its ability to successfully lease up and reposition newly delivered or underperforming assets. The firm has demonstrated consistent operating performance across its portfolio, supported by a resident-centered care philosophy, strong clinical oversight, and disciplined operational execution.

Strategic Alignment

“This acquisition reflects our conviction in high-quality healthcare real estate supported by strong operators and favorable long-term demographics,” said Julie Robinson, Head of Healthcare at Clarion Partners. “The Grand at Spokane exemplifies the type of asset we seek on behalf of our investors—new construction, located in a supply-constrained market, and operated by a best-in-class partner with a proven track record.”

Ray Henderson, CEO & President of Stellar Senior Living, adds: "Stellar is very excited to partner with Clarion Partners on The Grand at Spokane. Their investment and commitment to the community align well with Stellar’s focus on delivering world-class senior living and strong operational performance. Together, we look forward to supporting residents, families, and team members while continuing to strengthen the community’s impact in Spokane."
