Project Overview

SAA reimagined a free-standing building into Sabra Healthcare REIT’s new corporate headquarters, replacing their long-standing legacy office with a workspace that supports how their team works today. What was once a tall, open shell is now a structured, light-driven environment that prioritizes wellness, clarity, and connection. A strategic layout, diverse work settings, and curated integration of Sabra’s art collection created a workplace that is modern, efficient, and aligned with the organization’s identity as an innovative, people focused leader in healthcare real estate.
