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.

Construction Storyteller: Pinkard’s Longtime Proposal Writer Retires Construction Storyteller: Pinkard’s Longtime Proposal Writer Retires 2025-07-25 Share Share In his job, and in life, Ned Foster describes himself as an oddball. Unlike most people he works with at Pinkard Construction, he doesn’t have an engineering degree or a background in business or accounting, but rather journalism. His colorful wardrobe of Hawaiian shirts stick out in a sea of muted polos and dress shirts, as does memorable Shreveport, Louisiana accent, which belies the fact that he’s lived in the high elevation forests above Denver for over 30 years. As Pinkard’s on-staff proposal writer since 2002, Ned has been the voice of Pinkard Construction for over two decades. In his 28-year career as a proposal writer, 23 of those years spent at Pinkard, he has written at least 1,000 Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, helping supply the lifeblood of projects that keep a general contractor alive. He’s also responsible for submitting the majority of Pinkard’s 22 National Excellence in Construction awards, organized by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), which are judged by an exhaustive, highly competitive proposal process. As a testament to his writing prowess, of the 16 projects that Ned submitted on, 14 of them won first place “Eagle” awards, one earned a second place “Pyramid,” and only one went home emptyhanded. He also served as an Eagle judge and National Business Development Committee member for ABC National for 13 years. Ned and Marketing Director Jessica Nichols holding a Marketing Excellence Award won in conjunction with one of Pinkard's Eagles. What’s even more amazing is that Ned arrived at Pinkard with little-to-no construction industry knowledge. What has made Ned such an effective asset to Pinkard, and as anyone who lost track of time talking to him in his office can confirm, is his remarkable gift as a storyteller. As skilled at listening as he is at writing and talking, Ned is a rare breed, a sharp-witted, deeply introspective renaissance man with the principles and insatiable curiosity of a true journalist. While much glory in the construction world rightfully goes to the people who do the actual building, Ned has served an invaluable role at Team Pinkard. To use one of his favorite analogy forms (sports): as the superintendents, project managers, and estimators battle it out in the field, Ned has been there in the press box, dutifully documenting the plays, interviewing the players, and recording our company’s history. His subsequent stories of teamwork, innovation, quality, schedule, budget, and overcoming challenges have been crucial tools for demonstrating our construction expertise to prospective clients. In the words of retired CEO Jim Pinkard: “Ned cares more than most people. He’s competitive, he wants to win, and he puts everything into what he’s doing. Whether talking to an architect, a client, or our guys in the field, he knows how to talk to people, absorb their expertise, and then put that into a clear cohesive message. Even though he didn’t arrive with construction expertise, he worked hard to become hyper-literate in this world, and he left an indelible mark on the company as a result.” This week, having just celebrated his 70th birthday, Ned Foster is finally entering the world of retirement, where he looks forward to spending more time with his wife and “kids” (his two border collies), while focusing on his numerous passions: playing guitar, cooking, reading, watching films and TV, drinking a good martini, and chasing the occasional bear off his mountain driveway. As Pinkard bids farewell to its beloved storyteller of 23 years, we asked Ned a few parting questions about his life at Pinkard. How are you feeling about retirement? Excited. I’m ready and freaked out at the same time. I’ve never been the guy who lived to work, but Pinkard was the perfect job for me. I don’t think I would have made it anywhere else. Why’s that?  Because I'm an oddball, a Jack Kerouac type who was probably meant for more artistic and creative pursuits. But fortunately I landed at Pinkard in the right time in my life, at the right time for the company, where I had some of the best people around me who could look past my weaknesses and shortcomings, see my potential, and let me grow into it.  There were days I was completely overwhelmed, but it was the perfect job for me. It taught me my strengths, revealed my insecurities and shortcomings, and gave me a career. So how did you end up at Pinkard Construction? It's kind of a crazy story. I was always trying to work in a field that allowed me to indulge my passions. After college I had done about four years in New Orleans, basically working in HR for Avondale Shipyards, the largest industrial employer in Louisiana. I burned out at that, and that's when I got into the restaurant business as a fine-dining waiter, which I loved passionately. I wanted to be a chef and sommelier, which is how I moved out to Colorado in 1988, to work at the Flagstaff House in Boulder. Then my back went out, and in the years after I did everything from starting a portrait photography business to working as an electrician’s apprentice and teaching skiing at Winter Park, before starting to wait tables again. Then one day one of my restaurant customers told me she’s a technical writing recruiter, and I said, "You know, I got a degree in journalism I've never used.” She asked for my resume, and two years later she called and said, “I've got an entry level job for you,” so I went to work for Lockwood Greene Technologies, the oldest engineering firm in the United States at the time. I worked for them for a while, and they ended up closing the office due to some incredible mismanagement, so I went to Centric-Jones Construction, and they went out of business as well. One day I get a call from a friend I used to work with at Lockwood Green, saying, “I know somebody that needs you. Call this guy named Jim Mellor [ Pinkard’s recently retired head of marketing and business development ].” That’s a whole ‘nother story. What was the Marketing Department like in the early 2000s? Before me the whole department was set up around Mellor as the brains of the operation. He had this whole network of boilerplate writeups – basically the answers to every question that we’d ever been asked – that were all numbered, and so whenever a proposal needed to be done, he would tell his secretary, let's use intro number three for this, writeup number two there, and she'd put it all together like that. That had worked really well up to that point, but when I was hired to take over proposal writing, that way of doing things doesn’t really fit my personality, and I thought there was a better way. What was different about your approach? A really good example is the Eagle awards. We decided we were going to submit Thomas Connole [Pinkard’s 2002 project for Denver Housing Authority], this incredible gut and remodel of a 10-story, concrete affordable housing high-rise with asbestos. DHA wanted to make the bedrooms bigger, but they didn't have any room to do so, so we demolished the entire side of the building and made it wider. It was crazy. So when it came time to submit for the award, I didn’t consult with anyone who had done it before. I just looked at the requirements and started digging in, doing what made the most sense to me. Knowing that the only way to tell a good story is to know as much as possible about the topic, I interviewed everyone I thought could offer me some insight. Why was the job hard? What did you do to make it easier? What were the problems and how did you solve them? And most importantly, what is the proof that you did a great job? I was lucky that Denver Housing Authority’s program manager Ron St. Clair was a storyteller. It was from Ron that I learned that story tillering was the key to a winning proposal or award submittal. That set the stage for the rest of my career. From that I basically wrote the Eagle submittal completely on my own, which Jim Pinkard then proofed and gave me great insight into what was not clear. After submitting it, we won first place. Ned in 2003. What makes a good proposal writer?  I've never really thought about it to the point of articulating, but I think it’s the same thing that makes a good journalist, which is having the curiosity and the drive to tell a good story. I was always talking to superintendents and project managers to learn what made projects special. Without that knowledge of why something is special, you can't sell it. How has proposal writing, and construction marketing in general, changed over your tenure? Before me, it was very much an assembly line, boilerplate approach, which was very efficient and managed to win us a lot of work back then. As the industry has evolved and Pinkard has continued to chase more and more ambitious projects, the proposals have become more complex, and we have become more and more sophisticated as a result. For the longest time it was just me writing and submitting the proposals on my own with minimal team input, and our RFPQ responses were largely just text-based. Today it’s a massive team effort, and the documents are much more complicated with graphics, pictures and design. What were your favorite proposals to work on? The ones where I got to go really deep with the project team. On one of the last jobs we won, I ended up talking to [Pinkard superintendent] Matt Gabriel for two hours to help craft the project approach for this challenging renovation. I kept asking him questions about how we would overcome all these challenges, and after talking at length about how hard this job is going to be, he said, “Man, I'm sorry. All I'm doing is complaining.” I said, “Dude, your complaints are exactly what I need to hear!” That gave us so much brilliant insight, and I think it won us the job. That’s the thing I loved most about my job: having these fascinating conversations with brilliant people who build incredible things. If you could do any other job in construction, regardless of the qualifications, what would it be? Superintendent. I’m just amazed by their common sense, and their ability to look at things, collaborate and tactfully solve problems. That applies to project managers, preconstruction, and project engineers too. It requires an amazing hybrid set of skills to overcome complicated physical challenges while dealing with people and keeping things in budget to turn out a beautiful building. To me they are some of the smartest people in the world.  So what kept you at Pinkard all this time? What are you going to miss most? The people. Of course the work was a good fit for me, but it’s the people and the relationships that made the work good. I'm proud of the fact that we, as a company, hired good, moral, brilliant people, and I've created so many memories with them over the years. They’re what makes it so hard to leave.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for East West Partners on the ONE Riverfront project. ONE Riverfront Denver, Colorado, USA East West Partners 127,391 Sq. Ft., 43 Units Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Underground Parking, Ground Up ONE Riverfront consists of a seven-story cast-in-place structure with post tensioned slabs and seven street-front, four-level townhomes including a below-grade parking garage. The project totalled 127,391 gsf with 43 loft residences in the seven-story mid-rise structure and seven steel-framed townhomes facing the street front. The mid-rise structure's exterior consists of exposed architectural concrete, floor-to-ceiling aluminum-clad wood windows with composite metal panels, and Norman brick veneer. High end interior finishes include solid quartz stone counter tops, Italian porcelain tile and European cabinetry. Large portions of the residential interior feature exposed concrete ceilings and structural columns. The 50 units had infinitely variable customization options including five countertop colors, seven cabinet colors, two wood floors, four carpets, plus appliance, lighting, audio, and cabinetry upgrades. Customizations and design modifications required over 400 RFIs and 170 change orders. Concrete pours for the structure required over five months in the schedule. Highlights of the concrete work included: The seven-story tower features Agilia concrete exterior, exposed shear walls with symmetrical reveal strips and tie holes. The low-viscosity, highly temperamental self-compacting Agilia concrete had tremendous head pressure requiring special forming and safety precautions. Setting and aligning the reveal strips and tie holes was a labor intensive process requiring strict quality control and oversight. "I am thrilled to say that we have had a HUGE victory at the Townhome project. Your team has pulled off a modern day construction miracle and delivered a fully finished and beautiful model unit for us on the day I asked for and with the quality we demand.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Frasier Meadows on the Frasier Meadows Master Plan project. Frasier Meadows Master Plan Boulder, CO, USA Frasier Meadows 355,000 Sq. Ft., 98 Units Senior Living, Recreation, Multi-Family Housing, Market Rate, Indoor Pool, Occupied, Ground Up, Renovation, Addition, Independent Living, Reahbilitation The Frasier Retirement Community’s $100 million Master Plan buildout consists of the construction of The Prairies, a 98-unit independent living building with a 110-space parking level on the lowest floor; a 6,000 sf Arts and Education building with classrooms, theater and a 300-seat multi-purpose room with stage; a 9,500 sf wellness center with a 25-meter exercise pool; and extensive renovations of the main floor of Frasier Central. All work is conducted on the occupied 530,000 sf, 14.5-acre complex. To meet Frasier’s demand for high quality and an uncompromising sensitivity to the needs of 400-plus seniors, Pinkard conducted an exhaustive preconstruction phase that focused on intensive collaboration with architect Hord Coplan Macht, Frasier, and numerous Frasier user groups. As a result of these efforts, the Pinkard/Frasier/Hord Coplan Macht collaboration produced “a perfect balance in site placement to achieve optimal aesthetics and natural views, respecting City of Boulder jurisdictional restrictions (including the 55-foot height limits), and FEMA flood-plain requirements, all the while allowing Frasier to enjoy tremendous flexibility for future growth. And we did this while balancing Frasier’s budgetary needs with the health, safety, and comfort of a demanding senior population.” During construction, Pinkard managed an unusually complex permitting process, which included 12 separate building permits as opposed to the customary one or two permits. "Retirement communities are sacred spaces. Pinkard and the subcontractors have been tremendously respectful of our sacred spaces." Senior Living Client "I've done maybe 50 projects in my career with 40 different contractors. Too many contractors are weak in preconstruction services.

Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main Pinkard Completes Rehabilitation of Village on Main 2024-10-21 Share Share Pinkard Construction has completed work the $8 million rehabilitation of Village on Main Apartments, formerly known as Village Place Apartments, located on Main Street in downtown Longmont. Partnering with the Longmont Housing Authority (owner/developer), Rosemann & Associates (architect), and Artaic Group (owner’s representative), Pinkard participated in design charettes with residents and the owner/design team to ensure resident programming needs were met. Pinkard’s preconstruction efforts included providing tax credit funding assistance, design-assist solar electrical input, and ultimately incorporating all owner wish list items into the existing budget. Scope of work on the 68,000 square foot, 10-month project included top-to-bottom unit upgrades, common area and exterior improvements, the replacement of boilers, through-wall air conditioners, and electrical meters, plus demolishing an abandoned solar hot water system to allow for a new 165kw roof-mounted ballasted solar photovoltaic system. Pinkard also replaced finishes, plumbing fixtures and lighting, roof membranes, and upgraded several units to meet current UFAS Accessibility standards. The project also met EGC sustainability standards for creating a healthier environment for residents and includes updated fixtures to reduce energy and water usage. To minimize disruptions to the residents during this occupied renovation of all 72 units, the work was conducted on a “rolling occupancy” basis, with 13 units updated at a time, requiring the coordination of temporary resident relocations. Some intriguing challenges included minimizing water shutoff durations during new boiler installation and working with the owner/design team to find the most effective solutions for minimizing electrical outages associated with electrical system upgrades. Through Pinkard’s careful budgeting, they were able to accommodate late client add-ons—such as redoing more than half of the building’s siding and replacing the already-installed corridor carpeting to a more durable and aesthetic option—while finishing in budget and on time. “It was such a pleasure to renew our relationship with Longmont Housing Authority with such a successful project, not to say it was without its challenges,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “Renovations like this always reveal unforeseen circumstances, but we were really grateful to have such a strong team in LHA, Rosemann, and Artaic to overcome all those obstacles and meet our project goals.” Learn More Affordable Housing Construction See Projects Senior Living Construction See Projects Occupied Renovation Construction See Projects Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Willoughby Corner: BCHA's Landmark Affordable Housing Development 2025-07-15 Learn More Pinkard Completes Bay Aquatic Park On Time and Under Budget 2025-07-07 Learn More Project Rewind: Prioritizing the Needs of 275 Seniors at Clermont Park 2025-07-09 Learn More Pinkard Tops Out Phase III of The Edge 2025-06-25 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Pinkard Completes Five-year Senior Living Capital Improvements Project 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.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Centura Health - Corporate Offices on the Centura Primary Care Clinic - Golden project. Centura Primary Care Clinic - Golden Golden, CO, USA Centura Health - Corporate Offices 10,700 Sq. Ft. Healthcare, Medical Imaging, Structural Slab, Laboratory, Photovoltaic, Clinic, Ground Up Centura Health's newest Neighborhood Health Centers, one in Golden and one in Arvada, are each approximately 10,700 sf. Each is a primary care facility with 16 exam rooms, a wellness atrium, x-ray, mammography, and phlebotomy. Each Center is single story structural steel construction with a metal deck and crawl space. The skin is stucco and stone. The Golden Center's larger site required extensive over excavation due to a dipping bedrock zone. Golden also includes a photo voltaic solar array. Distinctly different from the fragmented medical care available in most communities today, Centura Health's Neighborhood Health Centers are built upon the key components of optimal health: primary care, specialty services, urgent care, diagnostic and laboratory services and occupational health. "I've been very impressed with Pinkard and the end result; walking into our buildings and seeing how they were constructed. The overall integrity of our buildings is very good. It’s high quality work. The facility looks very good; I’ve had a lot of good comments from our visitors." Healthcare Client "I really appreciated that Pinkard had a conscious awareness of my budget. They didn’t just spend my money. They would ask questions to understand that the money was being spent in the most efficient way possible. They were good stewards of my money and were always looking for ways to save or keep to the budget. Pinkard did a really good job."

Public Projects, Library, Post-Tensioned Concrete, Administration, Renovation, Addition This 92,000 sf phased addition/ renovation includes a semi-circular glass and sandstone addition that doubled the size of the complex. The new library structure connects the existing south wing via an indoor bridge and extends to Arapahoe Avenue. The indoor bridge straddles Boulder Creek and a pedestrian/bike path that stretches west all the way to Boulder Canyon. Renovated areas include a 225-seat auditorium with an enclosed projection booth; the Channel 28 studio and control room; departmental offices, classrooms, and storage area. Site improvements included entrances at grade level for easier handicap access and a two-level outdoor reading terrace. Special care was taken in developing the site plan to minimize the disruption of the existing vegetation and maximize the surrounding mountain scenery. Both sections of the library have an elaborate natural lighting system that minimizes energy consumption. The second floor has indirect lighting from the reflection of the sun and sky. Banks of windows are operational, electric lights use a timer or occupancy sensory system. An evaporative cooling system provides fresh, humid air, efficiently controlling the interior climate without the use of fluorocarbons. A system of catch basins was integrated into the landscape to prevent impurities in water runoff in parking areas from entering Boulder Creek. The Boulder Public Library received awards from the American Institute of Architects Colorado, AIA Colorado North Chapter, and AIA Western Mountain Region, the Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute Award, and was featured in an article in the October 1992 edition of Architecture magazine.
