Sedona Main Street Program proudly nominates the Sun
Building for AZMS Award Nomination for Best New Building Project. This
Sun Building project was new construction and was also an in-fill
development project that made a significant impact on the Sedona Main
Street District. Now it is the vision of the Sun Building project to
make a significant impact on the health of all who visit.
The SUN Building is located on Jordan Road in the
historic Sedona Main Street District. In just over 1 year’s time, the
SUN Building transformed an entirely weed filled lot into a beautiful
Sedona landmark. The design and color of the building were carefully
chosen in an effort to enhance the Main Street District without
detracting from the natural beauty of the surrounding environment.
Construction went an extra step farther than its own
building footprint, to create public sidewalk on Jordan and Apple Roads,
giving pedestrians a more comfortable and safe passage. However, the
aesthetic appeal of the SUN Building only represents a portion of the
benefits to the Main Street Community.
The SUN Building is a “Healing Family Center.”
Fifteen jobs have been created by the new building and business in the
first few months of operation. The building has several functions. On
the first floor there is the BR Clinic and the Healing Family
Information Center. The BR Clinic is a whole health clinic which
integrates western medicine, oriental medicine and mind-body training.
The Healing Family Information Center is a large open space area that
provides a comfortable haven for both residents and tourists to come and
receive information about Sedona and their Health. A “multi-media
healing family center” with books, music and DVD’s related to ones
health is also available. Additionally, there is a retail shop with
innovative products also related to health. On the second floor in the
Healing Family Center there is a large “training room” for exercise
classes and workshops/lectures. Monday through Saturday, exercise and
yoga classes are offered free to anyone at 7 am, and additional classes
will be added in the evening for those unable to attend morning classes.
The BR Clinic staff offers lectures on a variety of topics that are open
to the public every Friday evening. The remainder of the second floor
is used as administrative offices to keep track of the entire Sun
Building and its clients.
The vision of Dr. Ilchi Lee for this building is for
it to become a space where everyone and anyone feel comfortable to come
and find useful information about health and experience a variety of
integrative healing methods. The hope is that this building will
attract residents and tourists to the Main Street area, as well as
function as a gathering place for local business owners.
The SUN Building has invested approximately $1.4
million. Additional investment will be made as time goes on, to fit the
needs of the Sun, BR Clinic and the Healing Family Center community.
For all these reasons we nominate the Sun Building for AZ Best New
Building Project
