An infusion of capital supports a new community hub, new residential development, and a refresh for existing properties.
As Suncadia, the year-round mountain resort community located 80 miles east of Seattle, celebrates its 25th anniversary, it proudly announces an ambitious more than $40 million growth and development plan that will see an expansion of amenities and residential communities.
The $4 million renovation of The Lodge at Suncadia, unveiled in May 2024, marked the beginning of numerous transformative projects set to revitalize and reimagine the beloved resort in 2025 and beyond. Late summer 2024 also saw an expansion of its popular trail system, and the addition of a 455-foot pump track and playground at the historic Nelson Farm, promising even more adventures for guests.
“As we celebrate Suncadia’s 25th anniversary, these transformative projects will enhance our community and create vibrant new spaces for our residents and guests. Our partnership with our investors, along with the commitment from our valued homeowner partners in The Lodge, is pivotal in realizing these ambitious plans,” said Mark Thorne, Suncadia’s Managing Director.
The centerpiece of these development plans is Suncadia Social, a vibrant new community hub that will debut in 2026. Located within walking distance of The Lodge, golf courses, fitness center, and spa, Suncadia Social will feature a variety of shops including grocery, home goods, outdoor gear, as well as restaurants, a wine bar, and a coffee shop. New paved pathways, common green spaces, and communal firepits make Suncadia Social a true community gathering spot, open to all guests, residents, and community members
“We are very excited about the development of Suncadia Social. The addition of this exciting community hub will be an outstanding benefit for our residents, potential homeowners, and guests, creating an even more vibrant and dynamic community,” said Thorne.
Suncadia’s residential community is also expanding with the development of new mountain bungalows and rowhouses, known as The Residences at Suncadia Social. This new centrally located neighborhood is already underway, conveniently located just steps from Suncadia Social’s retail hub along the Porch Walk pathway. “We’re so excited to grow the Suncadia community and add to the diverse offerings of Suncadia real estate. With so many destinations and offerings—golf, trails, spa, parks, pools, and more—Suncadia truly has something for everyone. Whether it’s for a weekend, a season, or full-time, this place feels like home,” said Jamee Smith, Suncadia’s Chief Real Estate Officer.
The grand reopening of The Lodge marked the beginning of Suncadia’s next chapter. With updates to guest rooms in The Lodge starting in fall 2025, and upgrades to the outdoor sanctuary at Glade Spring Spa scheduled for completion in winter 2025, Suncadia continues to enhance its offerings, solidifying its reputation as the premier all-seasons mountain resort in the Pacific Northwest.
