Design-forward update inspired by European boutique hotels slated for completion Summer 2026

IRVINE, Calif., May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MBK Senior Living today announced that construction has officially begun on a comprehensive renovation of The Bellettini, a well-established senior living community in the heart of downtown Bellevue, Washington. The thoughtfully designed transformation is expected to be completed in Summer 2026.

Marking an exciting new chapter, the renovation introduces a design vision inspired by the intimacy and elegance of a European boutique hotel. The refreshed aesthetic will bring together refined finishes, warm textures, and a lighter, more contemporary expression of luxury, creating spaces that feel sophisticated yet inviting.

Guided by the spirit of Dolce Far Niente—the Italian philosophy of embracing life's simple pleasures—the reimagined Bellettini will elevate everyday living while preserving the vibrant, welcoming culture that has defined the community for more than two decades.

"This renovation reflects a deep respect for what The Bellettini has always been, while thoughtfully enhancing how it feels to live here each day," said Brian Prouty, Executive Director of The Bellettini. "We're creating an environment that feels both elevated and comfortable—where residents can continue to enjoy the connections, experiences, and sense of ease they value, now within beautifully refreshed surroundings."

Designed to elevate both first impressions and daily experiences, the transformation will bring enhancements to key shared spaces throughout the community, including the lobby, concierge and valet areas, and signature dining venues. Residents will continue to enjoy exceptional culinary experiences at Toscano, known for its refined dining, and Ashwood, a more relaxed bistro setting, both of which will be thoughtfully updated as part of the project.

The renovation reflects MBK Senior Living's continued investment in creating environments that support connection, purpose, and elevated living experiences for older adults.
