Pinkard provided expert construction services for Colorado State University on the CSU Behavioral Sciences Building project. CSU Behavioral Sciences Building Fort Collins, CO, USA Colorado State University 92,912 Sq. Ft. Higher Education, Office, LEED Gold, Administration, State of Colorado Contract, Classrooms, Occupied, Ground Up, Renovation The new Behavioral Sciences Building office facility contains approximately 25,000 sf of office space on three floors, along with classrooms, lecture halls, group study spaces, a large wi-fi study lounge, and a partial basement. Pinkard performed extensive quality control, constructability analysis, and in-house Building Information Modeling (BIM) services to construct CSU’s newest “gateway” office and academic building. Thanks to very few change orders and aggressive contingency management, we were able to return over 87% of the bidding contingency and 50% of the construction contingency to the owner prior to construction completion. To ensure quality on 54,000 sf of raised flooring, Pinkard constructed a mock-up that incorporated key details and penetrations. Meetings were held to instruct crews on procedures and expectations for proper installation. Pinkard assigned a full-time QC person to inspect caulking details at the perimeter of the system and all penetrations to ensure air-tightness. During construction, the floor was protected with masonite laid over sheets of plastic. Mock-ups for exterior stone, window, and curtain wall interfaces helped Bennett Wagner & Grody Architects (BWG) and CSU decide on stone patterning and color, and to refine watertight details. The weekly site walks with CSU and BWG, sometimes lasting three or more hours, were valuable in identifying deficiencies and correcting them in real time.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for on the 1899 Wynkoop Amenity Remodel project. 1899 Wynkoop Amenity Remodel 120000 Office, Class A, Mixed-Use, Special Project, Tenant Interior/Build Out Located in a “trophy” location of Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo), just steps away from Coors Field, McGregor Square and Union Station, this $5.4 million Class A lobby renovation was conducted within a fully occupied LEED Gold certified nine-story office building serving more than 400 office occupants and visitors daily. The scope of the renovation included build-out of a tenant lounge, coffee bar, fitness center with five new restrooms (three with showers), office and conference space, bike storage and an exterior canopy. High end finishes included large format tile from Italy, millwork, interior glass wall systems, storefront, and a custom hybrid curtainwall storefront system. These new amenities required extensive expansion of existing MEP systems with tie-ins in a fully occupied first floor lobby space above a fully operational below-grade parking garage. Pinkard accessed the MEP systems from the parking garage below, working in the ceiling to accomplish most of the in-slab plumbing installations. Disruptive saw cutting and core drilling activities were conducted off-hours. Pinkard also implemented proven pedestrian and vehicular safety measures to minimize disruptions and to ensure safety for tenants and visitors. Noise, dust, and vibration controls included use of panelized dust and sound containment barriers. During preconstruction, a deliberate and meticulous procurement process ensured timely delivery of the Italian tile. Pinkard’s closely managed quality control program ensured tight tolerances for the tile installation. Design-assist subcontracting played a key role in the successful procurement, fabrication, and installation of the two-story full-glass curtainwall system, which is a centerpiece design component of the new lobby area. This project finished ahead of schedule and in budget thanks in part to strong field collaboration and problem solving.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for East West Partners - Denver on the Creekside Flats/Lofts project. Creekside Flats/Lofts Denver, Colorado, USA East West Partners - Denver 92,000 Sq. Ft., 80 Units Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Underground Parking, Wood Framed, Ground Up Creekside Lofts and Creekside Flats are each 40 units, 4-story wood-frame condominiums of approximately 46,611 gross square feet. The structures are Construction Type V, 1-hour rating. Exterior fascia includes brick, steel siding, and Portland Cement Plaster, requiring extensive subcontractor coordination and phasing. Each unit has its own condenser and aquatherm system. Common areas have forced-air, gas-fired heaters with condenser units on the roof. The condominiums are constructed above the 37,200 sf, post-tensioned underground parking structure. The parking structure's footprint covers the entire site of both phases. The parking structure's entry/exit ramp includes a snowmelt heating system within the slab. Shoring on the north side is at ten feet. Pinkard self-performed the foundations. In the early 1900's the site was used as a rail car coal-dump, which produced considerable soil contaminates. Pinkard coordinated with a specialty subcontractor to conduct extensive environmental monitoring during soils exportation. A 100-year old retaining wall separates the site from Cherry Creek. All construction activities were carefully conducted to assure that the wall was undamaged. Two different construction projects were underway at the site, which created very tight staging conditions. Pinkard and the other builder were forced to coordinate construction sequencing within a single staging area. Pinkard performed extensive preconstruction and value engineering for this project to help the owner make budget and stay competitive in the tight downtown Denver housing market.

Pinkard Construction Breaks Ground on Chrysalis Affordable Housing Project in Denver Pinkard Construction Breaks Ground on Chrysalis Affordable Housing Project in Denver November 21, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction Breaks Ground on Chrysalis Affordable Housing Project in Denver DENVER, Colo. — Pinkard Construction, alongside partners Radix Design and The Empowerment Program, today celebrated the groundbreaking of Chrysalis , a transformational affordable housing development located at 1777 Franklin Street in Denver’s City Park West neighborhood. The ceremony featured remarks from Empowerment Program Executive Director Julie Kiehl, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston , Colorado Division of Housing Director Tyler Jaeckel , and representatives from the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) and Enterprise Community Partners , all of whom emphasized the critical importance of trauma-informed, deeply affordable housing in the city’s ongoing efforts to address homelessness and housing insecurity. “Today marks a truly meaningful milestone. A huge milestone. For the Empowerment community and for the Denver community,” said Kiehl, “We're standing on ground that has served residents for decades and today we begin the transformation of the space into something even more powerful - the future Chrysalis Apartments. The need for low-income housing in Colorado is critical. Chrysalis Apartments will help meet that need, replacing 15 units with 70.” “The first step to a better life is a home of one’s own,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “Chrysalis Apartments will provide individuals with the stability and support they need to leave the streets behind for good, and is a powerful example of what we can achieve when we invest in equity and inclusion.” Navigating a Challenging Urban Site Situated on a congested, zero-lot-line infill parcel adjacent to multiple hospitals and healthcare facilities, Chrysalis presents significant logistical challenges. Construction will require periodic right-of-way closures and careful coordination around ambulance access routes and neighborhood activity. To minimize disruption, Pinkard is developing a comprehensive neighborhood logistics plan that balances safety, mobility, and community impact with construction efficiency and schedule integrity. A High-Performance, Community-Focused Building Chrysalis is designed to meet U.S. Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready standards, ensuring long-term operational performance and sustainability. The development is financed through CHFA and incorporates Davis-Bacon wage requirements, reinforcing its commitment to equitable economic participation. Construction is expected to take fourteen months . “For more than six decades, Pinkard Construction has partnered across Colorado to deliver high-quality, resilient, affordable housing,” said Pinkard President Tony Burke. “Chrysalis represents not only innovation in building technology but a deep community commitment to healing, stability, and opportunity.” Over the last ten years, Pinkard has completed 35 affordable housing communities totaling nearly 6,000 units across the Front Range. About The Empowerment Program The Empowerment Program provides affordable housing and trauma-informed public health services, centering a housing-first strategy to promote both physical and mental well-being. Their mission is rooted in equity, community, and holistic support for individuals seeking stability and growth. About Community Capital Corporation With more than 35 years of experience , Community Capital Corporation specializes in financing and overseeing affordable housing developments. Led by Ken Hoagland—an expert in affordable housing and board member of The Empowerment Program—the firm brings deep expertise and mission alignment to the Chrysalis project. About Radix Design Radix Design is a Denver-based architecture firm dedicated to projects centered on social benefit, sustainability, and strong connection to place. Radix has partnered with The Empowerment Program since 2021 to advance the Chrysalis vision and support successful CHFA tax credit approvals. About Enterprise Community Partners Enterprise Community Partners (Enterprise) is a national nonprofit that supports community development organizations on the ground, aggregates and invests capital for impact, advances housing policy at every level of government, and builds and manage communities. Since 1982, we have invested $80.9 billion and created over 1 million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Enterprise affiliates Enterprise Community Loan Fund provided $1.3MM in acquisition and pre-development financing to support the Empowerment Program throughout the project's initial planning stages and Enterprise Housing Credit Investments will provide a $13.6M LIHTC equity investment for Chrysalis’s development.

Pinkard Finishes Krisana Affordable Apartments Pinkard Finishes Krisana Affordable Apartments October 28, 2024 Share Share Pinkard Construction is celebrating the completion of the Krisana Apartments complex in Denver. Developed in partnership with Kentro Group, Lexton McDermott, and Lewis Himes Associates, and located on former site of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) headquarters in southeast Denver, the four-story, 162,000 square foot, $30 million complex features 151 units of deed-restricted, affordable housing. Consisting of 21 studio, 71 one-bedroom, and 59 two-bedroom apartments, the apartments will be available to 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. Amenities include Energy Star-rated appliances, central air conditioning, laundry facilities, a fitness center, courtyard, social room, and secured bike storage area. Thanks in part to funding from the City and County of Denver through the New Building Electrification Pilot Program, a part of the Energize Denver Electrification Program, the Krisana Apartments are 100% electric-powered. The project’s massive wood framing scope was self-performed by Pinkard Frameworks, a recently established in-house division that offers detailed project assessments and on-site supervision to prevent conflicts and cascading issues that stop construction progress for redesigns. “Krisana was a huge success and proof of concept for Pinkard Frameworks,” says Framing Manager Dan Harris. “Thanks to our team’s proactive corrections in both the preconstruction and construction phases, based around hands-on collaboration with all overlapping trades, we were able to complete 120,000 square feet of framing in just three and a half months.” Challenges included working on a tight site with zero-lot lines on two sides, adapting to evolving design changes, and working with Xcel Energy to overcome substantial transformer shortcomings to meet the all-electric building’s needs. “The Pinkard team has done an amazing job overcoming some extraordinary obstacles to keep this challenging project in-budget and on schedule,” says Construction Manager Joe Revielle. “Superintendent Matt Gabriel masterfully managed relationships with subcontractors and stakeholders. Everyone went above and beyond to deliver a first-rate building that exceeded client expectations.” “We are thrilled to finish another high-quality affordable housing project and add to our growing list of fully electric buildings,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “The Denver Metro Area is sorely in need of housing that is both affordable and built for our energy future, and we look forward to seeing the impact Krisana has on fostering a more equitable and sustainable community.” Learn More Anthony Burke, President Connect Dan Harris, Wood Frame Manager Connect Multi-Family Construction See Projects Krisana Affordable Apartments Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Tops Out on the Daylight Collective Campus for the Action Center September 24, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Construction Becomes a Catamount Constructors Company, Uniting Two Denver Leaders July 7, 2026 Learn More Career Building Q&A: Edgar Tarin August 21, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Promotes Mike Hager to Construction Manager May 18, 2026 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.
