Designing for Belonging: Fostering Thriving Communities
In partnership with Hawthorn Senior Living, we have completed another project that highlights our commitment to reimagining what senior living looks like. Bear Hollow Estates demonstrates our dedication to innovative design, community integrations, and the seamless fusion of form and function.

Bear Hollow Estates
Seamlessly integrated into the heart of Rancho Cordova, Bear Hollow Estates is an independent senior living community designed with a southwest contemporary aesthetic. A three-story community spanning 144,995 square feet, this estate has 149 suites. The design seamlessly incorporates enhanced California Energy and Accessibility codes while also maintaining a welcoming contemporary design that blends into the surrounding residential area.


Our team focused on maintaining energy-efficient standards while preserving the southwest contemporary design found throughout the residential neighborhoods. With covered patios throughout the facility, an indoor theater, a cozy library, multiple activity rooms, and a cheerful pub, there are a variety of spaces to socialize and enjoy. The community’s features also include a state-of-the-art gym, salon, game room, and a lush garden to enjoy the California sun.



Bear Hollow Estates represents our commitment to creating spaces that enrich lives through thoughtful design and innovation. It stands as a beacon of modern architecture’s role in enhancing individual experiences and contributing to the vitality of growing communities.



In all our collaborations with Hawthorn, including Bear Hollow Estates, Lenity Architecture remains committed to creating environments where people can thrive. By upholding high living standards, our team consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible, designing communities that are both functional and beautiful.
