Pinkard Awarded Mixed-Use Apartment Complex in Denver Highlands Neighborhood 2022-08-31 Share Share Alpine Investments Partners, LLC has awarded their 46th and Tennyson Apartments mixed-use project to Pinkard Construction with architect Santulan Architecture. The project is an 84-unit apartment over a parking garage/retail space. Construction is anticipated to start in the final quarter of 2022. "Instead of focusing on the fact that we have completed almost 200 multi-family projects to date, we tried to zero in on what the client needed," said Mark Bokhoven, Director of Preconstruction for Pinkard. "I think our experience is evident in our approach, so I like to put our energy into building a relationship." Bokhoven says Pinkard is currently collaborating with the architect on design development pricing, utilizing a "design-assist" approach that allows them to involve subcontractors early to get an accurate pricing picture. Alpine Investments is a Denver-based real estate investment and development company focused on the acquisition, development, redevelopment, and management of both commercial and mixed-use properties in Denver.

Pinkard Breaks Ground on Affordable Housing Complex in Denver 2023-03-08 Share Share Kentro Group , Lexton McDermott , Pinkard Construction, and Lewis Himes Associates held a groundbreaking on March 8th for the Krisana Apartments. This complex will include 151 units of deed-restricted, affordable housing located on the former CDOT headquarters site in southeast Denver. Construction is expected to conclude in the fall of 2024. “The Krisana Apartments are the perfect kick-off for the Master Plan redevelopment of the former CDOT property,” said Jimmy Balafas, Kentro Group principal and co-founder. “Affordable housing has been a priority for us since our first involvement in the redevelopment of former CDOT property back in 2017, and it has remained a critical part of the mix through countless meetings with the community and stakeholders. There’s a housing crisis here in Denver, and we’re committed to making this contribution to help solve the housing gap.” Krisana Apartments ’ 151 units will include 21 studio, 71 one-bedroom, and 59 two-bedroom affordable homes equipped with Energy Star-rated appliances, central air conditioning, laundry facilities, a fitness center, courtyard, social room, and secured bike storage area, among other amenities. The Krisana Apartments will be 100% electric-powered and have received funding from the City and County of Denver through the New Building Electrification Pilot Program, a part of the Energize Denver Electrification Program . “At Pinkard Construction, we believe that affordable housing is an essential part of creating a thriving community. We are proud to be a part of Lexton McDermott and the Kentro Group's effort to bring more affordable housing units to Denver,” said Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction. “This project is an important step in providing quality housing options for people in Denver and working to create stronger, more equitable communities.” The Krisana Apartments will be available for residents who earn up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with an upper limit of $49,260 in annual gross income for a single-person household or up to $70,320 for a four-person household, which are benchmarks established by the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA). “In partnership with Kentro Group, we will have added 213 affordable housing units in Denver by the end of 2024,” said Arthur McDermott, a Lexton McDermott co-founder. “This new construction adds valuable inventory to an underserved marketplace, and we’re pleased to be part of a much-needed, long-term solution to provide fantastic homes to worthy Denverites.” To date, Pinkard has completed over 197 multifamily projects and over 80 affordable housing projects totaling over $2.5 Billion In construction value.

Pinkard navigated market challenges, permitting backlogs to ensure four multifamily projects started on time in 2023. Pinkard Overcomes Market Challenges to Break Ground on Over 700 Units of Multi-Family in 2023 2024-01-31 Share Share Denver has been experiencing a boom in the construction industry in recent years, particularly in the multi-family sector. As a result, Denver and surrounding cities’ building departments have been overwhelmed by the volume of permit applications and inspections, causing delays and backlogs. In addition, the market is still feeling the effects of an unprecedented pandemic that disrupted global supply chains and caused shortages of essential materials such as lumber, steel, and concrete, leading to inflation and cost escalation. Despite these challenges, Pinkard has managed to navigate the complex and competitive Denver market and deliver successful multi-family projects. According to Leighton Neff, Chief Preconstruction Manager at Pinkard Construction, "When our client's project slips, it costs both of us money, so it is extremely important that we collaborate with the client and architect to make sure we expertly navigate the permitting process." One of the company's strategies to overcome the challenges is to leverage its experience, expertise, and relationships with clients, design partners, subcontractors, and suppliers. Pinkard Construction has also been using technology such as cloud-based software to streamline its processes and communication. In addition, the company has been implementing lean construction principles, including prefabrication, modularization, and just-in-time delivery, to optimize resources and minimize waste. The results speak for themselves. In the first six months of 2023, Pinkard broke ground on four complex multi-family projects in just six months, poised to deliver over 700 new units of market rate and affordable housing. These projects are the Krisana Apartments, a 151-unit affordable housing project in southeast Denver; the Akin Golden Triangle, a 12-story, 98-unit building in downtown Denver; the Akin Tennyson, an 83-unit luxury apartment project in northwest Denver; and the Willoughby Corner, a 400-unit affordable housing project in Lafayette near Boulder (Pinkard is currently working on phase one, 192 Units). These projects demonstrate Pinkard's commitment to building quality and sustainable communities while overcoming the challenges of building in Colorado. Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction, said, "Denver and the surrounding areas are vibrant and dynamic, offering many opportunities for growth and development. With the recent escalation in the housing market, more inventory is desperately needed if we are to continue to grow and attract great talent to our area. We are excited to be part of this transformation and contribute to Colorado’s prosperity." Pinkard Construction's ability to navigate the permitting process, overcome material shortages, and implement innovative construction practices has allowed it to deliver successful multi-family projects in Denver. The company's commitment to collaboration, technology, and sustainability bodes well for its future in the Denver market and beyond.

In our first edition, we spotlight Blake Chambliss, whose remarkable 40 years at Pinkard has seen him rise from a journeyman carpenter to Chief of Operations. Career Building Q&A: Blake Chambliss 2024-07-18 Share Share Construction is a huge industry with a multitude of career paths. With the Career Building Q&A , we ask some of Pinkard’s longest tenured employees to share stories, advice, and lessons leaned over their own career journeys. In our first edition, we spotlight Blake Chambliss, whose remarkable 40 years at Pinkard has seen him rise from a journeyman carpenter to Chief of Operations. How did you get started in construction? My father is an architect, and he introduced me to a home building contractor. We formed and poured foundations and driveways, framed and sided, and did all interior trim including setting cabinets and countertops. How did you come to Pinkard Construction? I had just moved to Denver and was working for a multifamily developer when I heard that Pinkard was hiring. I hired on as a carpenter and we were just coming out of the ground and doing the concrete frame on the Hyatt Regency hotel in the Denver Tech Center. Superintendent-era Blake (circa 1996) Tell us the play-by-play of your evolving roles and responsibilities at Pinkard. I started out as a carpenter in 1984, and soon moved up to carpenter foreman at a time when we were doing a lot of high-rise PT cast-in-structures. I was promoted to Assistant Superintendent in (1986) and worked on Harvard Gulch Rec Center, DirecTV Broadcast Center, Tropical Discovery at the Denver Zoo, and a couple others. In the early ‘90s I was promoted to Superintendent and did several tenant improvements, a train wash station in Alliance, Nebraska, and some renovations before doing the first of several recreation projects in Highlands Ranch, including both phases of the Westridge Recreation Center and the renovation of Northridge Rec Center. I built several tilt-up projects (boring, like watching paint dry) and was put on three projects to replace existing superintendents, one of those still only in the foundation phase. In 2004, I was promoted to Field Manager where I also managed the self-perform concrete when we were doing decks and cores, and we did some very impressive architectural concrete using Agilia, a self-consolidating concrete, on One Riverfront. I worked as a project manager to replace a departed PM and finish up West Metro Fire. Finally I was promoted to Construction Manager before being named COO in 2022. What have been some of your career highlights? I really enjoyed working on Westridge Rec Center. We had a great repeat client in Highlands Ranch and [architect] Sink Combs (now Perkins & Will), and it was really rewarding being involved in preconstruction and working with [structural engineer] Martin & Martin to make structural changes to facilitate the proper sequencing of steel, masonry, and concrete. The architectural concrete at One Riverfront was fun to do. We did several mockups using different form-plys and form release agents to get the desired end-product, and we even used a pump to pour the mock-ups—not because of accessibility but because we needed to exactly replicate how we were going to pour the final product. In-progress architectural concrete at ONE Riverfront What’s the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome? Probably taking over the projects that were already behind schedule and getting them finish on time. Also, the water and rock challenges we had on a tilt project we did at 6th & Indiana. The soils report said no water or rock, but we ended up having to blast rock (Colorado blue shale) and install wells to keep the water out of the foundations. What’s was your most memorable project at Pinkard? There have been a lot of great days, but form setting and flying decks at the Hyatt Regency was super fun, even though we had to hear superintendent Leroy Jefferson yelling like a mad man all the time! What’s the best advice you ever received? When I worked at DSP Builders, a superintendent said, “You’ve got to have eyes out your ass, because as soon as you turn around someone will f#@& something up,” and that’s never been truer. You always need to be aware of what people are doing and that can only be done by continually walking the job with your eyes and ears open. What’s the worst advice you ever received? I don’t ever recall getting bad advice. There are always lessons to be learned, and a day without learning something new is a lost day. What’s your advice for people navigating careers in construction? Ask a lot of questions.

Pinkard Wins SMPS MEA for Corporate Rebrand 2023-05-26 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a leading general contractor in Colorado, announced today that its marketing team has won a Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Marketing Excellence Award (MEA) for its corporate rebrand. The award recognizes the best marketing practices and achievements in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The rebrand, which was completed with assistance from Bluebird Branding and BrandSavvy , two Denver-based branding agencies, involved a complete overhaul of Pinkard's logo, website, collateral, signage and vehicle graphics. The new brand identity features bold and vibrant colors of purple and pink, reflecting Pinkard's history and values. "We worked a lot internally to really define our value in the marketplace, our unique audience and to understand what goals we wanted to achieve by rebranding. It was great working with Bluebird and BrandSavvy to turn that ethos into a visual communication language. And most of all, I’m proud of my team for the tireless effort they put in to roll out the branding across the organization," said Jessica Nichols, director of marketing for Pinkard Construction. "We are honored to receive this recognition from SMPS and we are grateful to Bluebird Branding and BrandSavvy for their creative and strategic partnership.” The rebrand also honors Pinkard's roots which include having a fleet of pink trucks back in 1962, when the company was founded by James W. Pinkard Sr. The pink trucks were a distinctive feature of Pinkard's operations for several years. The SMPS MEA awards program is an annual competition that honors outstanding marketing campaigns and materials across various categories.

akin Tennyson, Tops Out in Berkeley. Project is expected to be complete by end of 2024. Curated Urban Living Project, akin Tennyson, Tops Out in Berkeley 2024-05-24 Share Share Revesco Properties and Alpine Investments (RPAI), along with Pinkard Construction and Santulan Architecture, announced today that they have topped out at akin Tennyson. Located at the corner of 46th Ave. and Tennyson St. in Denver's Berkeley neighborhood, the new mixed-use development project will offer an elevated and welcoming living experience that blends with the neighborhood’s local culture. On track to be completed by the end of 2024, akin Tennyson will feature 8,500 square feet of restaurant and service retail space, 97 covered parking stalls, and 84 upscale residential apartment homes with sought-after amenities. These amenities include a nearly 2,000 square foot ground-floor retail patio space, a large resident rooftop terrace with sweeping mountain views, three resident courtyards with various programming and seating areas, a state-of-the-art lobby with a pool table, coffee bar and fitness center, and custom art pieces from local artists. According to Pinkard’s Project Manager Derek Stathis, “The rooftop amenities are some of the most impressive I've ever seen, with two massive built-in hot tubs, multiple fire pits, a deluxe outdoor kitchen, outdoor televisions, and sweeping views of Berkeley Park and the Rocky Mountains. It’s a challenging build, but it’s going to be an incredible place to live, and we're all going to be proud of it when it’s done.” Stathis explains, “It is a very tricky project in the way it's designed and built, with a complex exterior skin that adds a ton of exterior details and material types,” noting the additional challenges inherent in a tight, lot-to-lot site on two major streets with very little access. To mitigate the project’s impact on the neighborhood, Pinkard has maintained an information plan to provide updates on street shutdowns and other work affecting residents. “We are trying to be really good neighbors and minimize any inconveniences,” said Stathis. Over the holidays, Pinkard Safety Manager Dave Ruddy dressed as Santa Claus for the daycare across the street. More recently, Pinkard assisted Centennial Elementary by providing a forklift to unload new bike racks, allowing the school to order additional racks with the money saved. “The vision for this development is not only to provide a place to live but also to create a place for community gathering at the northern end of Tennyson Street,” says Kevin Cosgrove, Manager of Construction & Development, with Alpine Investments. “We are grateful to the many partners involved in bringing our vision to this stage and look forward to the successful completion of this project.” akin Tennyson is the second of four upcoming RPAI projects that will operate under the akin (“uh-kin”) brand, geared toward a sophisticated, urban-minded resident while elevating each local neighborhood by creating an elegant and timeless living experience. While exterior and interior aesthetics and amenities will vary per location, each will draw upon the same brand foundation: a distinctly urban recipe of design, wellness, culture, service, and connection to the neighborhood. This past February, RPAI and Pinkard Construction topped out on akin Golden Triangle. Boasting 98 multifamily units and amenities, the 12-story luxury boutique high-rise in Denver’s Golden Triangle neighborhood is also anticipated to finish by the end of the year.

We finished within schedule, under budget, and with less manpower than other similar jobs. This is one of the best projects we’ve had in my 14 years with Midwest Drywall." See the Project Exceeding Expectations Pinkard has done a great job exceeding expectations and doing a great job being a partner throughout this project. See the Project Sequencing Approach "Pinkard’s (sequencing) approach made (wall panel assembly) easier to manage, even with 60, 70, 80 people on a job. We assigned a qualified foreman for each pod, which allowed us to maintain production and communicate QC fixes easier and quicker." See the Project Couldn't Have Been Happier With Precon "I couldn't have been happier having Pinkard on board to help us through that preconstruction process. Our project (Vida at Sloan’s Lake) took so long to get all the financing partners secured, it pushed us out almost a year, but Pinkard held their pricing. It really was kind of a cool way to do what felt like a design-build approach (under a CMaR contract). It's good to have a contractor helping us figure out what structural systems and even down to the nitty-gritty of how to do different slabs and soundproofing." See the Project Warranty work above and beyond "[Your warranty superintendent] has been extremely helpful with all of our warranty issues here at Boulevard, and I have enjoyed working with him. There were many instances where he went above and beyond to assist us with questions and inquiries we have had, and he has facilitated with communications between us and the contractors or subcontractors needed for specific issues."
