Sunrise of Orange is a 74,500 SF, 93-unit assisted living and memory care community thoughtfully positioned on a 1.55-acre site at the intersection of Lincoln and Ocean View in the city of Orange. The building’s form responds directly to its surroundings, stepping down to two stories along adjacent residential edges while rising to three stories along Lincoln Avenue to match the scale of the commercial corridor. Rooted in early California Craftsman architecture, the design reflects the character of the historic Olive Heights neighborhood while creating a warm, residential presence.
Arrival is intuitive and gracious, with a double-height lobby opening directly from a protected drop-off court. Inside, a range of shared amenities, including multiple dining venues, living rooms, activity spaces, a theater, fitness areas, and wellness-focused services, support daily life and encourage connection. The building is organized to balance independence and care, offering residents a variety of spaces to gather, engage, or relax in a setting that feels both comfortable and refined.
Outdoor spaces are central to the experience, with courtyards, garden areas, and walking paths oriented toward Eisenhower Park to take advantage of views and natural light. Resident gardens, butterfly habitats, and bird-friendly landscapes create opportunities for reflection and activity, while upper-level balconies provide additional connections to the surrounding environment. Thoughtful siting also buffers street noise and preserves existing traffic patterns, reinforcing a calm, secure, and connected place to live.
