Sunrise Redmond
Seattle, Washington
A senior living facility transformation.
Sunrise of Redmond is part of a national chain of senior centers. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, they were forced to relocate residents to another Sunrise location close by. This facility had several building issues, including extensive plumbing and HVAC issues, so the Sunrise owners decided to take advantage of the building closure and go ahead with a comprehensive building infrastructure remodel and repairs.
Building Type
Senior Living
Work
Building Remodel and Reconstruction
Scope
Interior reconstruction, new water source, heat pump, HVAC system upgrades, ADA bathroom additions, new cabinets, interior finishes, paint and window replacements throughout.
The Challenge
A lot of work need to be done in a short amount of time. Approximately 85% of the building’s plumbing and mechanical piping needed to be entirely replaced. Each of the 109 apartments in the building required a new water source heat pump, and upgrades to the HVAC system. ADA-compliant showers were to be included in each bathroom, and two of the apartments were to be built fully ADA-compatible. To compound matters, the pandemic was still underway.
The Solution
Since time was crucial, as Sunrise of Redmond needed to reopen its doors to its former and future residents, effective planning was essential. We developed a streamlined schedule to keep the timeline on track and successfully completed the demolition of the memory care wing ahead of schedule.
Subcontracts were issued as early as possible, and submittals and approvals were obtained right at the project’s commencement. Materials were ordered immediately to ensure a smooth construction process and to avoid the frequent cost increases and supply chain delays that had become common in 2021. Additionally, Charter ensured that crew members adhered to COVID-19 safety protocols and that all work met our high standards.
Our work transformed dated rundown rooms into vibrant living spaces.
Designer Finishes & Colors
The shared common areas throughout the building were upgraded using finishes and colors chosen by Sunrise Redmond’s in-house design team, who oversee design decisions throughout the national chain.
