The Lofts at Buffalo Hill in Kalispell, Montana is a new independent living residential development being constructed as an expansion of the Immanuel Living campus. The project includes 39 modern apartment residences designed for active adults, with units ranging from approximately 550 to over 1,700 square feet and offering amenities such as community gathering spaces, fitness facilities, and underground parking.

Developed to meet growing demand for maintenance-free senior living in the Flathead Valley, the Lofts at Buffalo Hill will provide residents with convenient access to dining, wellness programs, and social activities within the larger Immanuel Living campus. All residences were reserved before construction began, reflecting strong regional demand for high-quality independent living options in Northwest Montana. The project is expected to be completed around 2027.

The building is designed with a variety of residential layouts and shared amenities to support an active lifestyle, while also integrating with the surrounding Buffalo Hill campus and its services. Plans also include connections to nearby facilities and additional community spaces, helping create a cohesive senior living environment that supports independence, wellness, and community engagement for residents.

Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, state government grew to meet the increasing demands of Montana’s citizenry. In 1945—following a hiatus wrought by the Great Depression and World War II—the legislature established a Montana Postwar Planning and Construction Commission to address long-delayed building needs statewide. Among the resulting structures was this “State Office Building,” designed by Helena architect Vincent H. Walsh. Walsh chose the Stripped Classical style to mirror the lines of the capitol while reflecting a more modern aesthetic. It features smooth, stucco-covered concrete walls, windows arranged in recessed vertical panels, and a formal, bronze entrance. Completed in 1950, the building was named in honor of Sam W. Mitchell (1872–1955) who served as Montana’s Secretary of State from 1933 to 1955. Two decades later, state government once again required more room, including space for a computer center now necessitated by technological advancements. Consequently, the Helena firm of Crossman, Whitney & Griffin designed an addition. Attached to the east side of the building, the “modern box” office features the extensive use of exposed concrete, a stylistic element borrowed from the Brutalist movement.
