SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT: Parkview at Terwilliger Plaza will be a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community for residents 62 and over. The independent-living facility will feature 127 units. Each one will have one or two bedrooms and full kitchens as well as balconies. Thirteen floor plans will range in size from 1,095 square feet to 2,310 square feet.

Designed for passive house certification, the highly energy-efficient building is projected to use 50 percent less energy than a current energy-compliant building. With 100 percent continuous preconditioned fresh air circulation, interior spaces will be substantially more healthy, quiet and thermally comfortable than those in conventional buildings. There will be green roofs, green living walls and solar panels. Features will include: improved wall R values; triple-pane windows; lighting power reduction; eco-friendly appliances; outdoor air systems with heat recovery; high-performance HVAC-VRF; heat pump water heaters; low-flow fixtures; photovoltaic solar generation; and significant thermal bridging details at balcony connections, balcony edges, parapet connections and exterior walls to concrete slabs.

The commons will include stone terracing, a wood-paneled cocktail lounge and a sports bar. The building鈥檚 architectural features will include handcrafted wood paneling and a blown-glass chandelier.

One of the goals of the Parkview project was to encourage movement throughout the campus with plenty of opportunities for residents to gather and socialize. There will be a variety of multipurpose rooms, public living rooms, lounges, sunrooms and lobbies. The building鈥檚 U-shape will allow for an outdoor courtyard and amenity space as well as views of the adjacent Terwilliger parkway hills, downtown and mountains. A landscaped rooftop also will provide additional space for gatherings.

One of the most critical elements for this project was approval for a sky-bridge across Southwest Sixth Avenue between Caruthers and Sheridan streets. It will link the new Parkview at Terwilliger Plaza with the existing Terwilliger Plaza building. The connector will double as an art gallery space, in response to community building goals.
