Spokane-based Rockwood Retirement Communities is actively engaged in planning a new senior living campus within the River District development in Liberty Lake, according to a press release.

About 200 independent living residences, 36 assisted living apartments, and 24 memory care residential units are proposed.

Exceeding a $275 million estimated development cost, Rockwood Retirement's proposed Liberty Lake campus is planned to take shape on 15 acres of land north of Wellington Parkway and east of Harvard Road, near Trutina, the 55-and-older retirement community developed by Liberty Lake-based Greenstone Corp.

Rockwood is currently completing due diligence, business planning, and preliminary design activities. As planned, construction is expected to begin in 2028, with occupancy planned in 2030.

Rockwood Retirement Communities is working with Irving, Texas-based Greystone Communities Inc., a senior living consulting firm, which is providing strategic advisory and development consulting services for the project.

Once operational, the Liberty Lake campus is expected to create more than 100 full-time jobs.

“Liberty Lake is an exciting opportunity for Rockwood to build on more than six decades of serving seniors in the Inland Northwest,” says Rockwood Retirement President and CEO Jim Maxwell. “We see an opportunity to create a community that reflects what people value about Rockwood — exceptional service, a strong sense of community, and an environment that supports wellness and independence.”

The proposed Liberty Lake retirement community would become Rockwood Retirement’s third Spokane County campus, joining Rockwood South Hill, at 2903 E. 25th, and Rockwood at Whitworth, located at 10322 N. Middleton Drive.
