DDC Journal is a publication dedicated to professionals who design, develop and construct. This national journal showcases those with the vision to build in North America. In a recent feature, DDC Editorial Coordinator Jason Smithart visited with Forefront Living CEO Tim Mallad to discuss Bella Vida, the organization’s latest senior living development now under construction in San Antonio, Texas.

During the conversation, Tim shared Forefront Living’s mission-driven approach to senior living: to make each moment matter for those we serve. This mission will be highlighted at Bella Vida, where thoughtful planning and design will create an elevated lifestyle for its senior residents. When it opens in the summer of 2026, this new community will blend the region’s Hill Country style, Spanish culture and modern conveniences.

Bella Vida residents will enjoy state-of-the-art amenities, including fitness and wellness programs, multiple dining venues offering chef-driven culinary experiences and a wide variety of activities each day. Forefront Living’s newest community represents a vision to help seniors thrive and live life fully in San Antonio and beyond.

Read the Bella Vida feature, “A Beautiful Life on the Horizon,” on pages 120-121 of the Fall 2025 edition of the DDC Journal.
