Edmund London & Associates

What Edmund London & Associates does

Edmund London & Associates, Inc. is a Michigan-based architectural firm founded in 1959 that specializes in designing healthcare facilities, senior living communities, and multi-family residential projects. The firm's core practice areas include acute care hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, medical office buildings, independent and assisted living facilities, memory care environments, skilled nursing facilities, and market-rate and affordable apartment communities. The firm operates on a project-based professional services model, with principals personally overseeing every engagement from concept through construction, indicating a high-touch consultative delivery approach. The firm has designed billions of dollars of construction over its 65-year history and completed over 35 long-term care/skilled nursing facility projects in the past decade alone.

The firm's business model centers on direct client relationships with healthcare systems (Memorial Healthcare, HealthSource Saginaw, Crowne Point Endoscopy & Surgery), senior living operators (StoryPoint, The Rivers Grosse Pointe, Lockwood of Ann Arbor), government/county medical care facilities (Eaton County, Shiawassee County, Saginaw Chippewa Tribe), and multi-family developers. Geographic concentration has historically been Michigan and the broader Midwest, with the firm's first clearly documented out-of-state expansion being a 172-unit senior living project in Jackson Township, Ohio. The firm's competitive positioning rests on six decades of healthcare/senior living specialization, particularly its expertise in memory care and sub-acute rehabilitation design where regulatory familiarity and clinical environment understanding create meaningful differentiation. Revenue is generated through architectural design fees determined by project scope and complexity, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held, has 1-10 employees, and is headquartered in Southfield, Michigan.
