The Sumach
The Sumach
The Sumach redefines senior housing by prioritizing active, independent living within a vibrant urban community. Seamlessly integrated into Regent Park's ongoing transformation, the building offers seniors access to the cultural richness and convenience of city life. Ground-floor retail space, a resident dining facility, and a public bistro and café bring the street to life, creating natural gathering spaces that connect residents to their evolving neighbourhood.
We designed The Sumach to go well beyond accessibility standards — not just meeting requirements, but truly supporting residents to age in place with dignity. While provincial rules require 15% accessible units, we delivered 68% accessible suites, including studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and three-bedroom townhomes. Thoughtful design anticipate changing needs, from accessible garbage chute rooms with automatic doors to light switches and outlets placed at accessible heights, and blocking installed in corridors and washrooms to accommodate future grab bars. These details help residents adapt their homes as their needs evolve.
