Located on 38 acres in Redmond, Emerald Heights is a life care retirement community that is home to more than 450 residents age 55+. The campus features independent living apartments and cottage-style residences, assisted living studios including memory care units, and a licensed skilled nursing center.

Säzän provided design-assist services for mechanical and electrical criteria for a new 10,000 SF fitness center with a 9,500 SF multipurpose room and auditorium. The Fitness Center incorporated a natatorium with an indoor swimming pool, exercise rooms, a gym, spas, locker rooms, administrative spaces, and lobby. The multipurpose room was designed as a community gathering place and houses an auditorium with stage, A/V room, kitchen and dining area, restrooms, storage rooms, and an entrance lobby.

The design focused on sustainability and energy conservation using LEED Silver criteria.
