Award – Sunrise at Lonsdale Square

BFA Studio Architects Receives Urban Design Institute Award for Excellence in Senior Housing.

BFA Studio Architects is proud to announce that Sunrise at Lonsdale Square has been honored with the Urban Design Institute’s Award for Excellence in the Senior Housing/Healthcare category.

Located at 2141 Eastern Avenue in North Vancouver, Sunrise at Lonsdale Square is a state-of-the-art assisted, long-term care and memory care residence for seniors. This prestigious accolade recognizes the project’s innovative approach to addressing the critical needs of seniors while prioritizing safety, accessibility, social connection, comfort, and personalization.

“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Urban Design Institute,” said Helen Besharat, Architect AIBC and Lead Designer at BFA Studio Architects. “Sunrise at Lonsdale Square reflects our commitment to creating environments that meet essential care requirements and foster vibrant and supportive communities for residents while maintaining a connection to the local context and established urban fabric.”

Developed, in collaboration with Sunrise Senior Living and Darwin Construction, the project redefines traditional care facilities by offering a dynamic community designed to enrich the lives of its residents.

The Urban Design Institute presented the award at its annual ceremony in December 2024, celebrating projects that significantly contribute to urban development and enhance community well-being.
