Completed SUNFIELD Project
We are excited to see the completion of our newest building project - SUNFIELD, a 62-unit, Affordable Housing Residence that was completed summer of 2023. Our residents include seniors 55+ and people with disabilities. All of our residents from our Seafield Manor were moved to their new suites in Sunfield beginning July 2023 and completed in August 2023. Our old building, Seafield, was demolished by the end of September, making room for our future Phase 2 project. The naturally landscaped side yard with a Gazebo and outdoor sitting areas was completed before the end of 2023.
Since then we have acquired new residents and will continue to do so until we are full. Applications are being accepted for both our current SUNRISE building and our new SUNFIELD building as vacancies arise. If we are full, check back at another time or see the link below for some other BC Housing facilities in Nanaimo.

Report from our Building Project Chair
The Vancouver Island Free Daily printed an article about our Sunfield project when the City of Nanaimo issued the development permit for two new buildings, comprising 124 future independent living apartments for seniors at 1145 Seafield Crescent in Nanaimo’s hospital area. An artist’s sketch is provided as part of this article.

Initial Project Manager
We are sorry to hear about the loss of Mats Gerald Bergman. Mats worked hard and tirelessly to help WSCHS get our new Sunfield building project approved by BC Housing and underway. We appreciate all of his efforts and the time that he devoted to our project. With grateful hearts and much appreciation, we want to acknowledge his contributions to get this project started.
Sunfield Building Project Chair
We are sorry to have suddenly lost our leader and Chairman of our new Sunfield Building Committee, Eric H. Kutzner. Eric was a wonderful person, who worked tirelessly with BC Housing and all the others involved in moving our building project further along. Our deepest sympathies to his family and everyone who knew him. He is fondly remembered as a most generous and giving person.
