Kinwell Retirement Communities

A place to belong.

Kinwell is Live Well Development Group's family of wellness retirement communities, with over 1,400 residences planned across Western Canada in the next five years and Marwest Seniors Living as Lead Seniors Operator. Kinwell communities are designed for longevity of independence, through Healthy Living by Design™, the Wellness Pavilion, the Integrated Mobility Loop and lifelong learning, and are advanced in collaboration with First Nations partners. Optimum is the project leadership and execution company behind them.

Kinwell Continuum Care Campus is a phased continuum of care campus at 13111 King George Boulevard in Surrey, incorporating active living, independent living and assisted living, with an expected 325 doors. Given the property's prime location, the City of Surrey is supporting rezoning to a classification that delivers approximately five times the current door count.

Our role

The site was previously advancing as 73 for-sale townhomes. Optimum and Live Well redirected it to a phased seniors continuum of care campus, a pathway the City of Surrey is supporting through rezoning.

  • Full financial modelling with backed-up costs, completed before the appraisal is commissioned.
  • An energy performance model that optimizes the CMHC MLI Select route across its affordability, energy and accessibility thresholds.
  • A capital recycling strategy in which the first building is sized so its take-out financing funds the equity for the next.
  • A modern-methods-of-construction delivery strategy to shorten the build and the carrying period.
  • Generations together. Child daycare embedded in the campus, so children and seniors share time every day.

Optimum leads development management, pre-construction and construction management for the campus, with construction slated to start in early 2028.
