  • Pinkard Breaks Ground on Phase III of The Edge

    The final installment of the 10-year project brings the campus to 205 affordable housing units. Pinkard Breaks Ground on Phase III of The Edge 2024-12-19 Share Share Last week, on a sunny December morning, developers, residents and members of the community broke ground on the capstone phase of The Edge affordable apartments community in Loveland. Held on site, the ceremony included remarks from project and funding partners, as well as Loveland Mayor Pro-Tem Jon Mallo. The Edge Phase III is the third and final chapter in the Edge Apartments story, once again uniting the owner-architect-contractor partnership of Loveland Housing Authority (LHA), OZ Architecture and Pinkard Construction. Expected to be completed in early 2026, the 52,170 square foot expansion will add three new 3-story buildings containing 66 new units, complementing the 139 apartments constructed in the previous two phases and bringing the total development to 205 units. Featuring a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, the new units will serve households with incomes from 30% to 60% of the area median income. “There are a lot of special things about this campus, from creating permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless veterans in Phase I, to adding studio units to Phase II that allowed us to house young adults coming out of foster care,” said Jeff Feneis, Executive Directors of the Loveland Housing Authority. “We're really excited to get the team back together, with Pinkard Construction and OZ Architecture, and to complete construction of The Edge campus with these last 66 units.” Pinkard President Tony Burke echoed those sentiments: “More than a decade after we started planning on Phase I, we are delighted to once again return to The Edge and finish what we started with two of our strongest longtime partners: Loveland Housing Authority and OZ Architecture.” Completed in 2016, Phase I of The Edge consisted of an 82,000-sf ground-up facility with 70-units of affordable housing for working families and survivors of the 2012 High Park Fire and September 2013 floods, plus permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans. Completed in 2021, the 80,000-sf Phase II added another 69 affordable units for working families. The campus also contains a clubhouse, urban gardens, tot lot, walking trails, and open space, with immediate access to the neighboring business park, retail, and professional services. All three phases are designed and constructed to meet Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Project financing includes Low Income Housing Tax Credits and municipal and private funding from sources that include Wells Fargo, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), Colorado Division of Housing (CDOH), and Loveland Housing Development Corporation (LHDC). As the demand for new affordable housing in Loveland continues to grow, LHA is excited to add these 66 new units to our community’s affordable housing inventory when Phase III is completed.

  • Pinkard Rises to Any Pool Construction Challenge

    Pinkard Construction has a proven track record, expertise and attention to detail in pool construction, successfully navigating the challenges of cost control, procurement, and escalation while ensuring safety, security, and community outreach. Pinkard Rises to Any Pool Construction Challenge 2024-01-17 Share Share Pinkard Construction’s team has undeniable expertise in pool construction. They have successfully built over 50 recreation centers and 60 indoor and outdoor pools , overcoming significant challenges. The team has a proven track record of success, from controlling costs to engaging with the community. The project team faces three primary challenges/opportunities during the preconstruction process: cost control, escalation, and procurement. The team must balance the client's wants and needs with the budget, providing real-time pricing to enable the client to make informed decisions. Pinkard relies on its vast subcontractor pool to obtain the most accurate and competitive pricing possible. They engage with multiple trade partners early, who provide critical input on materials and options for flexibility in cost control. Another challenge is pricing multiple design iterations for months before locking down final costs. The project team interprets materials markets and provides accurate future cost estimates. Their close relationships with major suppliers allow them to stay updated on pricing trends, which benefits the client's budget. Additionally, new material delays are showing up almost daily, but the team constantly monitors these situations and can suggest more readily available alternatives. Pinkard's Pool specialists have a Pool Facility Checklist for a well-designed pool. The checklist covers considerations like circulation, filtration, decking, finishes, HVAC, and safety. It's used to provide our clients with early and accurate pricing. When constructing the pool, the team pays close attention to the pool shell, ensuring the quality of the subgrade prep, concrete supporting structures, accessibility of pipe routing, and pool deck construction. For indoor pools, they vet and confirm critical details regarding the pool enclosure's ability to resist corrosion and the quality control of specialty paints and coatings that seal sensitive surfaces. Pinkard also has the experience and knowledge needed to coordinate and install the required mechanical and pool equipment, such as pumps, filters, dehumidification systems, and specialty equipment like wave generators. Commissioning is another critical stage in pool construction, and the team anticipates the need to meet strict testing and performance standards for the facility. Pinkard commits to providing ample manpower promptly to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible. On the Bison Ridge Recreation Center, Pinkard identified potential complications involving the adjacent property grading and used a more effective structural infill, saving the City $950,000 during preconstruction. Bison Ridge Recreation Center Most of the recreation and pool facilities Pinkard works on are occupied during renovation. Safety and security are critical to ensure the staff and community can continue using the facility. To account for who is on-site at what times, the team ensures deliveries on time and requires construction crew badging and background checks. The team also carefully considers public access points and areas during construction and maintains physical and visual separation between the public and the construction work. Pinkard's recent Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center Renovation includes a new six-lane lap pool with an adjacent aqua-exercise pool, a wave pool with a lazy river and bubble pit, an activity pool with zero-depth entry, a play structure, geysers and sprays, a water slide, and a 20-person therapeutic hydro-jet spa. The facility remained open to the public throughout construction, and Pinkard used safety and operational protocols to ensure guest and staff safety while minimizing impacts on daily operations. Additionally, Pinkard always keeps the local community informed and excited about their projects. At Moorhead Recreation Center for the City of Aurora, the team held hard hat tours of the job site to keep the excitement high and helped organize a "job fair" for local children to see the finished product and to allow our team to discuss our experience building the project. This event provided inspiration and information on how to get into this industry. The Pinkard recreation construction team’s expertise in pool construction developed over many years and many successful projects. From preconstruction to commissioning, they easily navigate the challenges of cost control, procurement, and escalation. Their attention to detail and commitment to community outreach and neighborhood involvement sets them apart from other contractors.

  • Rescuing a Renovation: Sloan's Lake Rehabilitation Center

    A situation goes from bad to worse before Pinkard steps in to rescue the project. Rescuing a Renovation: Sloan's Lake Rehabilitation Center 2023-08-01 Share Share The Sloan’s Lake Care and Rehabilitation Center project at Sloan’s Lake Medical Center in Denver was intended to be a dramatic upgrade to allow for enhanced patient care within a new, state-of-the-art facility. The scope of work in the six-story building included a complete gut and renovation of the fifth and sixth floors into a skilled nursing facility. Work also included improvements to the 6,800-sf ground floor with a new full-commercial kitchen to service the fifth and sixth floors, physical therapy space, reception, and office areas. The project also included minimal demo and finish work for a 1,000-sf laundry facility to service laundry from the first, fifth, and sixth-floor operations. The project was on a fast-tracked August 2011 to March 2012 schedule to allow Sloan’s Lake to take advantage of some lease-related cost savings. A California-based general contractor was hired to perform the work but was terminated in March 2012 due to insufficient progress . Insufficient progress meant the GC was near the end of the schedule but had not yet completed demolition. Hoping to “save the day,” owner Ensign Facility Services brought Pinkard Construction Company on board in April 2012. With the understanding that no preconstruction would be necessary, a quick demo completion and prompt build-out commencement would allow the project to be completed neat and tidy in mid-June 2012. As Pinkard began discovery in April, unsettling signs of asbestos were seen in areas that were supposed to be clean. Fearing the worst, Pinkard enlisted an independent consultant to advise on the work area's alleged “all clean” condition. After careful assessment by the consultant, the site was declared a “major spill” of asbestos contamination. The site was sealed, the existing tenant immediately vacated the entire 4th floor, and the fifth and sixth floors were put under full containment. This second abatement effort was almost double the original cost and scope due to the spill and resultant contamination of duct and elevator shafts, plenum spaces, etc. It also took nearly two additional months to complete. While abatement was underway and demolition at a standstill, an examination of the design documents revealed that the design, which was produced by an out-of-state architect, was far from complete, even to the point of not providing for mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings. Pinkard worked with Ensign to constantly monitor this deficient situation, and the design and previously non-existent MEP drawings slowly developed. Pinkard also worked with Ensign and the out-of-state architect to establish a mid-May due date for construction documents that could be submitted for permit and let out for bidding. Acceptable construction documents were received June 22, and associated permits were September 4 following many rounds of revisions. Pinkard and Ensign launched an extensive preconstruction effort over the summer without a completed design or permit-able drawings. Pinkard provided comprehensive budgeting, estimating and value engineering services to establish a GMP. Despite significant favorable progress, the team decided in July it would be in the project’s best interest to hire local architect Intergroup to perform construction administration. With so much time lost due to the additional abatement and getting the design up to speed, when Pinkard was finally allowed back on-site, double-shift, six-day work weeks were implemented. Beginning Sept 4, the fourth floor ceilings were rebuilt, and the entire floor was repainted, with turnover for occupancy October 1. During this time fifth-floor waste piping for the new fifth floor bathrooms was roughed-in. First floor demolition and construction was a very sensitive issue because Pinkard was working directly beneath a fully occupied, second-floor intensive care unit. Any systems shutdown would impact intensive care operations. This situation required Pinkard and Intergroup to carefully examine as-built drawings, and open and examine existing shafts, mainline stacks, and medical-gas stacks to prevent inadvertent shut downs to intensive care above. Pinkard also collaborated closely with Xcel to avoid a shutdown of natural gas during a gas meter upsizing. Pinkard continued to make expeditious progress with a strong construction plan, an involved construction administrator in Intergroup Architects, and a committed owner. Construction ran from September 4 to December 17, 2012. Project Manager Cale Wester, Ensign Facility Services: “Although every project is going to have its ups and downs, I don’t think anyone anticipated this many “downs” when we first started. The great finish we enjoyed is a credit to Ensign, Pinkard, and Intergroup Architects’ strong commitment to team-building...it saved this project. Sloan’s Lake and Ensign are very proud of what this team was able to accomplish, and this facility is already making a difference in our patients’ lives.” The completed facility contains 42 private suites with floor-to-ceiling windows for stunning city and mountain views in all rooms; state-of-the-art rehabilitation gyms with AlterG antigravity body-weight treadmills and Pilates Reformer.

  • Pinkard Tops Out 151-unit Affordable Housing Complex in East Denver

    Krisana Apartments in Denver topped out in January. The affordable housing complex has 151 units for low-income people and is expected to be completed in Q4 2024. Pinkard Tops Out 151-unit Affordable Housing Complex in East Denver 2024-02-26 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a leading multi-family general contractor in Colorado, celebrated the topping out of the Krisana Apartments in Denver in January. This marks a significant milestone in the construction of the affordable housing complex, which is being developed by Kentro Group, Lexton McDermott, Pinkard Construction, and Lewis Himes Associates. The Krisana Apartments project will feature 151 units of deed-restricted, affordable housing located on the former Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) headquarters site in southeast Denver. The complex will consist of 21 studio, 71 one-bedroom, and 59 two-bedroom apartments 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 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. Wood framing for the project was self-performed by Pinkard Frameworks, a recently established self-performance division that offers detailed project assessments and on-site supervision to prevent conflicts and cascading issues that stop construction progress for redesigns. Tony Burke, President of Pinkard Construction, noted that their framing design that prevented conflicts and cascading issues that typically halt construction progress for redesigns. Burke praised the project and the team for undertaking it. "We are proud to be a part of creating quality, affordable housing options for people in Denver and working to create stronger, more equitable communities," he said. "This is an important step in bringing the Krisana Apartments to completion, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this project will have on the community." The Krisana Apartments are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The project has received 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 will be 100% electric-powered.

  • Pinkard Completes Five-year Senior Living Capital Improvements Project in Cherry Creek

    Pinkard Construction has completed a major renovation project at Kavod Senior Life apartment homes in Cherry Creek.  Pinkard Completes Five-year Senior Living Capital Improvements Project in Cherry Creek 2024-03-12 Share Share DENVER - Pinkard Construction, a leading full-service construction company, announced the successful completion of a major renovation project at Kavod Senior Life apartment homes in Cherry Creek. The project, which began in 2019, involved the renovation and reconfiguration of 396 residential kitchens, the installation of pull-out shelving in select base cabinets, and the replacement of existing bathtubs with walk-in acrylic-type shower pans and surrounds in more than 100 residential units. In addition, the project included replacing existing door hardware, lowering thermostats, installing a coffee/bistro station, and building the West Building property management offices and the adjacent laundry facility. The project also included the installation of new mechanical systems and air conditioning in the Health and Wellness Center in the West Building and the Shul Classroom in the East Building. Pinkard also managed a major code-related owner upgrade, adding a complete fire alarm and sprinkler system well after construction commencement. Conducted during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, this fully occupied renovation faced many supply chain and quarantine-related issues. When word came down in March 2020 that the building would have to be vacated, Pinkard collaborated with Kavod management to devise a socially distanced workplan to allow construction to continue in non-residential space. This plan allowed Pinkard to complete all commercial and public spaces in the three towers while avoiding any contact with residents or staff. These (non-critical path) activities, which accounted for almost half the allotted scope, allowed construction to continue, saving valuable time and owner savings. To accommodate the owner’s budget, Pinkard made staffing adjustments to only cover direct expenses related to general conditions. "We are thrilled to have successfully completed this project at Kavod Senior Living and Assisted Living apartment homes. With a pandemic thrown in the middle of an occupied senior living project, this was a critical issue," said Tony Burke, president at Pinkard Construction. “I know our crews took special care to ensure that Kavod could remain open and operational.” “I’ve worked with a lot of construction companies over the years,” said COO Tracy Kapaun, “Pinkard is hands down the best. The members of this team were total professionals.” Pinkard Construction has established a reputation for delivering high-quality construction projects across a range of sectors, including education, healthcare, senior living, and multifamily housing. The company's commitment to safety, sustainability, and innovation has made it a trusted partner for clients across the Colorado Front Range. Kavod Senior Life provides life-enriching experiences to older adults through a broad range of housing and support services that reflect the spiritual, social and cultural values of Jewish tradition.

  • Pinkard Raises Over $92,000 For ACE, Funds 37 Scholarships

    The fourth annual Careers in Construction Golf Tournament was held at The Country Club at Castle Pines. The scholarships allow the recipients to attend the private K-12 school of their choice. Pinkard Raises Over $92,000 For ACE, Funds 37 Scholarships 2023-07-06 Share Share Pinkard Construction, a general contractor serving Colorado for over 60 years, held the fourth annual Careers in Construction Golf Tournament at The Country Club at Castle Pines and raised over $92,000. The resulting 37 scholarships allow the recipients to attend the private K-12 school of their choice. Pinkard President, Tony Burke, says he sees an opportunity to nurture the next generation of the Colorado workforce and hopes that these scholarships provide enhanced access to private education for more Colorado students. Above: The first place Foursome, sponsored by IMA Corporation: Brad Johnson, Nick Burns, Bryan Young, and Jeff Walls. “19 Colorado companies and individuals provided generous sponsorships that made the tournament such a success,” said Burke. “The construction industry is facing an unprecedented labor shortage, and we hope that these scholarships allow students to pursue a rewarding career in construction.” Erik Billinger, Western Region President for ACE Colorado, said that ACE Scholarships is proud to be the beneficiary of Pinkard’s 4th Annual Careers in Construction Golf Tournament. “By supporting the tournament, Pinkard Construction and all participating sponsors are providing hope and a bright future for students and our community,” said Billinger. “Our founders believed that success was possible, regardless of income, and that all children deserve equal access to quality education. And for 23 years, we have been working to fulfill that vision. By providing partial tuition scholarships for lower-income students to attend the K-12 private school of their choice, ACE scholars are graduating high school, prepared for college and a fulfilling career.” Jayce Wynn, an ACE Scholarship alumnus, attended the tournament and spoke about how the program allowed him to broaden his education and eventually secure a full-ride scholarship to CU Boulder, where he is currently studying Biomedical Engineering. “I come from a single-parent household with three older brothers,” said Wynn. “Without ACE and sponsors like Pinkard, none of this would be possible. My mom worked very hard but putting 4 children though a private education on an hourly salary is virtually impossible.” Those wishing to support ACE scholarships can visit www.acescholarships.org .

  • Have You Ever Been to a Dirt Summit?

    Pinkard Construction Saves Commerce City $950,000 in Bison Ridge Recreation Center Project. Have You Ever Been to a Dirt Summit? 2024-01-24 Share Share During the foundations and infrastructure phase of the Bison Ridge Recreation Center project, Pinkard Construction encountered potential contradictions between the grading work being done and the recommendations in the geotechnical report. This led to concerns that the current foundation design might not provide a stable enough base for the pools and building foundations. To resolve these questions, Pinkard held a "Dirt Summit" involving representatives from various stakeholders, including the excavator, pool subcontractor, structural and civil engineers, architect, and owner. The goal of the half-day session was to consider all the factors that could influence the long-term viability of the building and pool foundations, and the constructability of pool piping. According to Leighton Neff, chief preconstruction manager at Pinkard, "With multiple engineering disciplines responsible for different pieces of the complex facility, it was important for all perspectives to be considered in developing a comprehensive long-term solution for the City while minimizing first costs." The result of the summit was a modified structural design that was more effective and a structural infill from a source closer to the jobsite. In addition, redundant civil/structural specifications were eliminated. With these changes, Pinkard saved the City $950,000 and eliminated the need for numerous internal Requests for Information. Neff emphasized the importance of collaboration and communication in achieving these savings. "The Dirt Summit allowed all parties to come together and find solutions that worked for everyone. By working collaboratively, we were able to deliver a project that met the City's needs while also saving them nearly a million dollars." Troy Bohlender, Pinkard’s manager of field operations said that this is all a part of Pinkard's robust partnering efforts. "Sometimes you have to get everyone in a room and work it out," said Bohlender. "On every project, we are committed to collaboration and communication, and we are thrilled with the cost savings the team was able to achieve without sacrificing quality or safety." Bohlender reiterated that the Bison Ridge Recreation Center project's success is a testament to the power of collaboration and communication in construction projects. By working together, stakeholders identified and addressed potential issues, resulting in significant cost savings for the City. Bison Ridge Recreation Center once it was completed.

  • Denver Zoo Tropical Discovery | Pinkard Construction | Colorado

    Pinkard provided expert construction services for Denver Zoological Foundation on the Denver Zoo Tropical Discovery project. Denver Zoo Tropical Discovery Denver, Colorado, USA Denver Zoological Foundation 41,000 Sq. Ft. Public Projects, Recreation Tropical Discovery is a conservatory-type building that provides a real-life rainforest environment in a 1.5-acre tropical ecosystem. The Denver Zoo's exhibit and education center is home to 140 species of plants, 123 species of fish, and over 1200 animals representing over 200 species such as mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. An offshore coral reef, tropical marshes, temple ruins, cypress, and mangrove swamps have been created throughout the complex. With over 13 pools forming the pathway around the exhibit, 24 glass-fronted tanks, 3 waterfalls, and a jungle river, Pinkard faced very complex waterproofing challenges in installing four different waterproofing systems specified in the architect's construction documents. Intricate life support systems were installed that precisely regulate each exhibit environment for the vast array of both plant and animal species requiring maintenance of proper temperatures. The building is topped with two pyramid-shaped skylights providing natural light for almost 3/4 of the building. One of the skylights stands 45 feet above the ground. A temple inside nearly reaches the pyramid's peak. Although there are 22,000 square feet of display area, the total square footage, including service areas and holding pens, is nearly 41,000. The exterior involved Pinkard's execution of extensive architectural cast-in-place concrete work. With the construction of Tropical Discovery, the Denver Zoo is one of the few zoos in the country that has created natural habitats and biological ecosystems that blend the best of biology and botany. It is a fascinating and unique opportunity for visitors to experience the immense diversity of life in the tropics and to gain a greater appreciation for the fragile nature of this important ecosystem.
