We are proud to announce that The Newbury of Brookline has been named the winner of the Independent Living category in the 2025 Senior Housing News Architecture & Design Awards.
Presented annually by Senior Housing News, a leading WTWH Healthcare publication, the Architecture & Design Awards honor communities around the world that set new standards in innovation, aesthetics, and functionality across the senior living spectrum.
“This year’s entries showcased remarkable creativity and ambition, pushing innovation in design across the continuum of care,” said Tim Mullaney, VP and Editorial Director of WTWH Healthcare. “These projects are redefining standards for care, operations and amenities — demonstrating what’s possible for the future.”
