The Senior Housing News Architecture and Design Awards have recognized Friendship Village Tempe with a first-place award in the Dining Innovation category for a new rooftop restaurant and brewery that was added as part of a community expansion.

Central to the award-winning design is a rooftop patio with multiple entertainment venues and a connection to the community’s nearby rooftop pickleball courts. The patio also is connected to the Starfire restaurant and brewhouse, an eating and drinking establishment that provides trendy menu items like white cheddar ale nachos, short rib tacos, and house-made beers.

LCS Development, An LCS Company, led the expansion project which also included a new five-story independent living building with underground parking.  The community’s day-to-day management is provided by Life Care Services, An LCS Company.
