Sunrise Manor is a 32-unit affordable senior housing community owned and managed by the Seattle Housing Authority, located at 1530 NW 57th St in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. The four-story building offers one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 645 to 842 sf, within walking distance of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, Ballard Commons Park, a Seattle Public Library branch, and direct bus service to neighborhoods across the city.

The Seattle Housing Authority engaged RDH to lead a comprehensive rehabilitation of the building enclosure to extend the property’s service life and improve overall building performance. The existing stucco exterior was removed and replaced with a new weather barrier and cementitious siding system with a protective coating. All existing windows and doors were removed and replaced, the existing roof was replaced, and the rooftop make-up air unit was upgraded.

The completed rehabilitation improved the building’s durability, thermal performance, and comfort for residents while reducing long-term maintenance needs. RDH coordinated closely with SHA and the construction team to complete the work efficiently and with minimal disruption to occupied units throughout construction.
