Building Design+Construction’s 2026 ranking orders senior-living architecture and architecture-engineering firms by reported 2025 senior-living revenue. NORR leads at $34,307,083, followed by Perkins Eastman at $30,248,589 and HCM at $19,973,620. Despite its “Top 100” headline, the published table contains 102 ranked firms.
Published October 5, 2026, the ranking is attributed to BD+C’s 2026 Giants 400 Report. It is a revenue ranking—not an assessment of design quality, resident outcomes, awards, or suitability for a particular project. BD+C does not provide a detailed survey methodology or explain how firms’ revenue figures were collected. The amounts below are reproduced as BD+C reported them; they are not presented as audited or independently verified figures. Read the ranking at Building Design+Construction.
What the 2026 ranking measures
The table orders firms by “2025 Senior Living Revenue.” Its scope is described as the nation’s largest senior-living facility architecture and architecture-engineering firms, but the article does not define the geography beyond that description. The ranking does not compare service scope, fees, project experience, licensing, geographic coverage, or resident satisfaction.

Ranks and amounts below follow BD+C’s published table. The source headline says “Top 100,” while the table runs from rank 1 through rank 102; both additional entries are retained here rather than omitted.

How to use the list when selecting a project architect
Revenue can indicate the scale of a firm’s reported activity in this sector, but it cannot establish whether a firm is the right fit for a specific development. BD+C’s ranking supplies no company-by-company project examples, licensing details, or office locations. Treat it as one starting point, then verify the qualifications relevant to your site, building type, delivery model, and jurisdiction.
Quick Recap
Best Value
Rank #2
- Used Book in Good Condition
- Review completed senior-living projects that resemble your project in scale, care model, and setting.
- Confirm the proposed team’s relevant licensing and local code and regulatory experience.
- Ask which services the firm will provide and which consultants or delivery partners are responsible for other scopes.
- Request references and discuss schedule, coordination, budget management, and post-occupancy goals.
- Compare proposals on scope and team as well as fee; this ranking does not report pricing or evaluate those factors.
