Pinkard Construction, a multi-family general contractor operating in Colorado for over 60 years, recently won the contract to work on Longmont Housing Authority (LHA)'s Village Place Apartments in collaboration with Rosemann & Associates.
The project involves rehabilitating Village Place, a senior apartment building comprising 72 units. The building is approximately 69,000 sq ft and is located in historic downtown Longmont at 600 Coffman St. The rental housing development is currently occupied and serves income-qualified families whose incomes are below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
"Affordable housing is crucial for the well-being of our community in Longmont, and we are thrilled to partner with Pinkard Construction to revitalize Village Place Apartments," said Katie Pung, Housing Development Project Manager with the City and Longmont Housing Authority "LHA plans to submit a 4% non-competitive LIHTC application to CHFA, and we will rely heavily on Pinkard's expertise for those submittals, making this project possible."
The scope of work planned involves exterior building, interior common and in-unit rehabilitation, landscaping improvements, and site work. Pinkard and Rosemann & Associates will help LHA evaluate and prioritize the scope of work while making any necessary adjustments to the plan.
"We are committed to utilizing our expertise in occupied renovations to complete the Village Place project with minimal disruptions to the residents. Affordable housing is critical to the well-being of Colorado communities, and we are proud to be a part of this effort to provide safe and affordable homes for those who need it most," said Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction.
To date, Pinkard has completed over 95 senior living housing projects, more than 80 affordable housing projects, and almost 200 multi-family projects, totaling $2.5 Billion worth of construction.
Rehabilitating occupied senior housing brings a unique set of challenges — and one that often surfaces during in-unit work and common area renovation is rodent activity in wall voids, ceiling spaces, and mechanical rooms that had gone undetected for years. Senior residents are among the most vulnerable to the health risks associated with rodent infestations: hantavirus, leptospirosis, and respiratory issues from disturbed droppings during construction. Addressing exclusion and decontamination as part of the rehabilitation scope — rather than treating it as a separate maintenance issue — protects residents throughout the project and prevents callbacks once work is complete. For residential projects on the West Coast, 360 Rodent Control handles full structural exclusion and decontamination in occupied buildings with minimal disruption, which…
Basket Random is one of the funniest basketball games I've played online. The unpredictable physics make every match different, and that's what keeps me coming back to play again.
Great to see investment in safe senior housing. From my experience, pest prevention is often an afterthought. For vulnerable populations, using poisons near living spaces is far from ideal. What we now use for rodent control relies on seismic vibrations and ultrasound instead of chemicals. No dead animals to remove and nothing hazardous near residents. Much safer for everyone.
This is such an important project. Affordable senior housing is desperately needed, and renovations like this make a real difference in quality of life. Having worked on similar builds, I know that the details residents feel most are often the hidden ones, like stable heating and cooling. You cannot have a safe comfortable home without reliable climate control. That is why I have started recommending commercial smart thermostat solutions for properties like this. They help manage energy costs while keeping every unit at the right temperature. Small upgrades like that can have a huge impact on resident comfort and utility budgets.
The physics in Drive Mad are surprisingly well designed for a browser game. Small adjustments in speed or balance completely change the outcome, so every level feels interactive rather than repetitive.
