WASHINGTON, D.C. — Aegis Living Lake Union has been honored on this year’s list of 10 recipients on Urban Land Institute’s 2023 Americas Awards for Excellence. The Seattle senior living community was named in the open category as well as in the Low-Carbon Development category. Aegis Development, a subsidiary of Aegis Living that provides development and design consulting services for senior living, built Aegis Living Lake Union.
“As one of only two recipients in Seattle, and the only senior living community on the list, we are honored to receive the 2023 ULI Americas Awards for Excellence,” said Adam Clark, President of Aegis Development. “When we embarked on the journey to create the world’s greenest senior living building, our goal was to set a new standard for what is possible, bringing an equal commitment to sustainable building and exceptional senior living. We made this dream a reality and hope to be a model for others serving our rapidly growing aging population. I could not be prouder to share this incredible recognition with our residents, staff and community.”
