Pinkard Starts Thrive with 0% Budget Variance Pinkard Starts Thrive with 0% Budget Variance January 28, 2021 Share Share Pinkard Construction and Shopworks Architecture have completed preconstruction services on Denver Housing Authority’s (DHA) $42 million Thrive affordable housing complex. “Working with the precon team at Pinkard was a great experience – their knowledge and approach made for a truly collaborative process that helped add real value to the project,” said Kyle Mead, Project Manager at Shopworks Architecture. Working closely with the design team, Pinkard helped guide the budget to a 0% variance between design development documents and the GMP. With this phase complete, it is expected that construction will begin in late February. “With this zero percent variance, DHA was able to incorporate add-alternates to enhance Thrive’s value to future tenants and DHA,” said Leighton Neff, Senior Preconstruction Manager for Pinkard. “During preconstruction, Pinkard collaborated closely with DHA, the Shopworks team and our chosen MEP/fire and earthworks design-assist partners to refine the scope and pricing from the design development phase through GMP.” A part of DHA’s Sun Valley redevelopment plan, Thrive will be a ground-up, 7-story, mixed-income development with a mix of two-story townhomes and 1 – 5-bedroom multi-family units, totaling 135 units. Once this project is complete, it will mark Pinkard’s 101st multi-family project, with more than 50 of those being HUD-funded projects.

Pinkard Awarded Low-Income Senior Living Project in Longmont Pinkard Awarded Low-Income Senior Living Project in Longmont April 5, 2023 Share Share 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.

Porcelain Brick Quality Challenges Porcelain Brick Quality Challenges March 14, 2022 Share Share On the Moorhead Recreation Center project, one of our biggest quality challenges was constructing the intricate, custom foliage patterning with the exterior porcelain brick. The brick is beautiful, but it tends to be very fragile. BRS's design came with an exact template showing where every brick should go. The challenge was to get the patterning exactly correct and not damage it. Ensuring Quality Brick Installation. To get the brick just right, JVS Masonry created half-scale mock-ups of a brick wall section, colored and numbered each brick location, then constructed the mock-ups under the watchful eyes of Pinkard, the City, and BRS. Once everyone agreed that the correct construction and quality approaches were understood and mastered, crews went to work on the real thing. In preparation for construction, JVS once again plotted the location and color of each brick. During construction, five different individuals took turns inspecting the installation every two hours. This result was near perfection. Everything line-up perfectly. Project Architect Jesse Sherr: “I think those guys did a great job with the porcelain brick. That material is probably one of the most challenging tasks and some of the best installed on that whole project.” As construction progressed under a very tight schedule, the team continued to face one demanding quality challenge after another. Construction Manager Blake Chambliss: “Pinkard had a tremendous number of quality/fit and finish responsibilities. We were working on a fast-paced schedule and at every turn, we encountered challenging details. The multi-purpose room ceiling clouds were a great example.” Learn More Recreation Construction See Projects Moorhead Recreation Center Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Completes The Irving at Mile High Vista Affordable Apartments January 22, 2026 Learn More Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Learn More Pinkard 2025: The Year in Pictures December 30, 2025 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Adaptive Reuse – A Contractor’s Perspective Adaptive Reuse – A Contractor’s Perspective October 17, 2023 Share Share According to Wikipedia, adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an existing building for a purpose other than that for which it was originally built or designed. Adaptive reuse has been lauded for its ability to save historically significant structures, maintain historical neighborhood context, conserve natural resources, and minimize construction-related disruptions to neighborhoods. But from a purely practical perspective, it can possibly provide a much lower cost construction option. But before jumping into an adaptive re-use project, several factors must be seriously considered. Does your building’s structure lend itself to adaptive reuse? Can you take your office building that has systems at the end of their life cycle, and rather than just replacing the systems, does the structure allow a new layout for one-bedroom affordable apartments? At Denver Housing Authority’s Thomas A. Connole apartments, Pinkard stripped the building down to its concrete skeleton and built 10-story-tall exterior structural concrete walls to convert the 50-year-old building from studio apartments into one- and two-bedroom units. For the City and County of Denver’s Minoru Yasui Plaza project, the former Downtowner Motor Inn was converted into office space. There, Pinkard did comprehensive interior renovations that included installation of a state-of-the-art European hydronic heating system. Both adaptive reuse projects won national acclaim for their creativity and construction excellence. City and County of Denver’s Minoru Yasui Plaza And then there is asbestos abatement, lead-based paint, and aluminum wiring, all of which can break a budget at the start. Denver’s Green Roof Initiative? If you’re putting on a new roof you may be required to include a green roof or a combination of green roof and solar energy collection – both pricey additions. The condition of the exterior skin must also be considered – replacement can complicate construction with time-consuming scaffolding systems and street closures. HVAC systems are typically the highest-cost systems. Compromises in the wrong way will have end users complaining to management on a weekly basis. Will zoning support your intended purpose? Can you go from office space to mixed-use retail/residential and meet parking requirements? What is the required cars-per-thousand-square-feet ratio to support retail and/or residential use? Chances are your office building may not meet that. Regardless of the quality of a building’s as-built drawings ( if you even have any? ) and the level of due diligence, you can be assured that you will run into unforeseen conditions that stall your schedule and take precious dollars out of your budget over and above the 10% contingency allowance most lenders require. Every contractor can provide a long litany of owner/architect/contractor unforeseen condition woes, with a corresponding array of schedule delays and cost increases. Fortunately, there are ways to greatly improve your chances of success. Dedicated collaboration and teamwork can avert potentially disastrous outcomes, and this of course speaks volumes about how you should select your team partners. Your contractor, architect and engineers should have considerable experience with complicated renovations and excellent team skills, and your contractor’s preconstruction team should have a great record of providing accurate estimates for these types of renovations. It’s always best to take a conservative approach when estimating a complex adaptive reuse. Sometimes owners begin with very tight budgets and a huge potential for unforeseen conditions. This makes for a very problematic preconstruction phase, with considerable budgetary headaches and possibly slashing scope. At that point your exciting dream project can become something of a nightmare. It’s also important to be sure that your team’s budgets include ample contingencies and allowances, and that the use of these tools is clearly spelled out. Early in the budgeting phase, Pinkard typically starts with a higher contingency load based upon our custom risk log for your project. For example, if there is asbestos, aluminum wiring, and the windows and HVAC need to be replaced, those factors pretty much dictate your costs. But we can start eliminating the unknowns through testing, exploration, and collaboration with major subcontractors and engineers. 3D laser scanning, ground penetrating radar to scan post-tensioned slabs, basic non-destructive investigations, etc. all combine to provide a better understanding of the many variables that may affect an owner's budget. Pinkard President Tony Burke observes that “Laser scanning is a recent technology our teams are using with great success. It is making a dramatic difference in our abilities to measure every inch of a building to create more constructable designs and more predictable construction plans. The data is uploaded into a building information technology platform. Designers use this data to create more exacting layouts with greatly reduced risk of clashes and layout busts. And the cost/benefit ratio of this technology is overwhelmingly favorable.” A better understanding of risk allows for a reduction in contingency. Pinkard shares this information with the entire team to fully inform the owner. In many cases, with this data, an owner/architect/contractor team should have enough information to manage risk and allow a project to move forward. Every building is adaptable, but not every adaptation is affordable. Put a lot of thought and care into selecting a trusted and responsible team to help you sort through all the details. It is the shortest and best path to a wise decision.

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.

Curated Urban Living Project, akin Tennyson, Tops Out in Berkeley  Curated Urban Living Project, akin Tennyson, Tops Out in Berkeley May 24, 2024 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.
