Who is building it? The property owner and developer is Urban Land Conservancy, a nonprofit real estate company providing affordable housing and affordable nonprofit spaces in the Denver metro area for 20 years. The builder is Pinkard Construction, a Colorado general contractor specializing in ground-up, renovation, construction management and design-build projects. Will this affect library parking? The number of the library’s parking spaces on its property will remain the same. Other adjacent parking spaces that were privately owned will no longer be available to patrons as library overflow parking. Are there job opportunities with this construction site? Yes. Please visit pinkardbuilds.com/careers to learn more. For safety reasons, the construction trailer on-site is not open for walk-in job seekers; please consult the website. Will there be noise? The City and County of Denver’s allowed construction hours are between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Residents and library patrons can expect construction activity and associated noise during those times. Will this affect bike parking? Library bike parking will remain the same.

Thank you for your interest in The Irving at Mile High Vista. 12/23/25 Final Touches We are nearly finished! Over the next few weeks, we will be conducting final testing of our systems and preparing the building for move-in. Please be patient with us as we sound our fire alarm; we need to ensure all safety systems are functioning as designed. As we wrap up construction, please use caution around the forklift removing material from the building. By the new year, the building will be complete. Thank you for your patience with us thus far. We wish you happy holidays! 10/1/25 Filling and Finishing The building is filling up! Frequent deliveries along the surrounding private roads mean increased truck traffic. Please be alert and follow the directions of the traffic crew. Inside, we are installing finishes and getting ready to complete the building. This may cause temporary congestion, and we appreciate your patience as we unload material. As we wrap up the exterior siding, expect lifts to be stationed around the building for finishing touch-ups and final installation. The library parking lot will be closed for repaving the week of 10/20; we apologize for this brief inconvenience and hope you enjoy the new pavement. At the end of October, we will be installing a new city sidewalk and traffic lane on the North side. During this work, Colfax will be reduced to one lane along our site for safety reasons. We appreciate your understanding as we finish building this community. 7/22/25 Decks are Done We are topped out! The building has reached its maximum height, and work will transition into filling out the inside and completing the exterior. We will have some small concrete pours next week on the roof and ground levels, but this will be the last time the pump partially blocks the private drive lane for deck pours. Overhead, stairs are flying into place, and the roof amenity space is getting framed and secured. On the exterior, get a glimpse of the final product as windows and metal panels get installed. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we constructed the superstructure and reached this milestone. 5/6/25 Placing Panels We have entered our structural cycle of placing wall panels, laying the deck panels, pouring the deck, and then repeating. In the coming months, expect ongoing overhead activity as our walls and floors fly into place. Our next deck pour will be Level 5 on May 20th, which will partially block the private drive to the East. Please follow the instructions given by the traffic control crew as they safely guide you around the trucks. At this time, we anticipate topping out the structure in early July. 4/10/25 Walls and Walkways The covered walkways are installed! Please do not hesitate to use these safe passageways around the site. Within the site, walls are going up. Feel free to observe our prefabricated wall panels as they fly overhead into place. For the next few months, work will include placing decks and walls until we top out. Again, please do not be alarmed by the whistles from the site, as they are simply a safety measure for our crew for these overhead hazards. 3/27/25 Covered Walkways The installation of the covered walkway along Colfax is complete. Please use this as a safe means of traveling around the site. On Monday, Cesar Chavez Day, we will construct the library entrance tunnel while the library is closed. This structure will protect the path from the parking lot to the existing covered walkway along the library. On site, the cores will finish in the next few days. Wall panels will follow, taking our building vertical and starting unit construction. 3/11/25 Month of March This month is focused on completing the vertical structural cores. These three towers will grow continuously and top out at the maximum height of our building. As we grow, two covered walkways will be installed for your safety. By the end of the month, both a library entrance tunnel and a covered walkway along Colfax will be in place to prevent overhead falling object hazards. Please be patient during installation and follow the signage and directions from our crew for safe routing around the site. 2/11/25 Snow and Semis This week brings cold and snowy weather along with numerous deliveries. Due to the weather conditions, the final Level 2 pour has been rescheduled to Monday, February 17th. In the meantime, we will begin working on the cores supporting the vertical structure. Large flatbed semi-trucks will be delivering blocks throughout the week. Exercise caution when navigating in the eastern private drive and follow the instructions provided by the traffic control crew. 2/5/25 Prime Pour Period This week brings warm weather that is perfect for pouring the concrete for our second level. Please expect our crews to surround the site and safely direct traffic around the pumping equipment. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we partially block the eastern drive for two days. By the end of this week, we will have the northern half of the building poured and have the southern portion prepped for next week's pour. During preparation, do not be alarmed by the whistles signaling the presence of overhead loads- this is just a safety measure for our crew. 1/21/25 Cold Construction This week, we will form the second-level slab in the north and finish grading soil in the south. Later this week, expect trucks to arrive with heaters and tenting material to prepare the site for cold weather work. Please exercise caution while navigating around these deliveries, as the roads may be slick. No concrete pours are scheduled this week, but expect partial blockage of the eastern private drive on February 3rd and 4th when we pour the northern half of the second level. Be prepared to follow our crew's directions during this time, as there will only be one traffic lane around the pump. 1/7/25 New Year, New Building Welcome to 2025! As we head into the new year, we will be taking our building vertical. This week, we will pour the concrete beneath the lobby space and prep the remaining building footprint to finish the parking garage slab. Please be patient with our crews as they guide you safely past the concrete trucks lining the eastern private drive during these pours. In the next few days, expect to see supports peeking over the site fence in preparation for the second-level slab. We are excited to grow this year and appreciate your understanding. 12/17/24 Dirt in the Drive As we start covering the foundations, numerous trucks will unload soil outside our site fence in the eastern private drive. This dirt will be moved onto the site throughout the week to begin preparation work for our first concrete slab on the west. Please pay attention to the workers who will guide you safely past the heavy equipment and material. Contact the Irving Team Name Email Write a message Submit Thanks for submitting!

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Red Rocks Community College on the Red Rocks Community College Rec Center project. Red Rocks Community College Rec Center Lakewood, CO, USA Red Rocks Community College 38,000 Sq. Ft. Higher Education, Public Projects, Recreation, Gymnasium, Climbing Wall, Structural Slab, Structural Steel Superstructure, Commercial Kitchen, Sports Field, Addition, Renovation This 38,000 square foot hard bid project includes the construction of a new student recreation center addition to the main building at Red Rocks' Lakewood campus, and 3,000 sf of renovations in the existing building. The new two-story building includes a gymnasium, climbing and bouldering wall, exercise studios, cardio/strength equipment spaces, outdoor fitness deck, meeting rooms, offices and student gathering areas. The new facility is structural steel and load bearing masonry with glass curtainwall, brick, and translucent panel/plastic resin exterior skin, and will feature a radiant in-floor heating system. The renovation encompasses the existing Fitness Center, which will be transformed into meeting space and a catering kitchen, along with an east entry retrofit. Site work included grading/earthwork, upgrades to the existing athletic field, drainage, utilities, and landscaping, while maintaining access and services to the existing buildings. Pinkard's final bid came in $2 million below Red Rocks' budget. The project is the result of a planning and feasibility study, and a vote by the Red Rocks student body, which approved a fee increase to support the facility. A planning committee consisting of RRCC student government members and RRCC staff brought the project to fruition.

Pinkard Celebrates Final Phase of The Edge Affordable Apartments Pinkard Celebrates Final Phase of The Edge Affordable Apartments April 9, 2026 Share Share More than a decade after first breaking ground on Phase I, Pinkard Construction, Loveland Housing Authority (LHA), and OZ Architecture have completed the third and final installment of The Edge Apartments affordable housing development located at 3875 E 15th Street in Loveland. The accomplishment was marked by a ceremonial ribbon cutting on Thursday. Completed under budget and a month ahead of schedule, Phase III added three new 3-story buildings (52,170 square feet) containing 66 new 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. Complementing the 139 apartments constructed in the previous two phases, the finished development features a total of 205 units. The Edge’s early and highly predictable delivery is in large part thanks to Pinkard and OZ’s strong preconstruction partnering effort, which included a comprehensive lessons-learned study and design improvements based on resident feedback from the previous phases. The project’s large wood framing scope was performed by Pinkard’s in-house framing division, Pinkard Frameworks. Frameworks’ advanced CAD-based constructability review helped to eliminate the waste that typically goes with a traditional framing process. During both preconstruction and construction Frameworks was able to continuously increase efficiency in the field by identifying potential conflicts early and the most effective approaches to assembling the framing. In addition to keeping most of the same core team members from earlier phases, Pinkard was able to retain most of the major subs from past Edge projects, eliminating the startup learning curve and achieving outstanding construction quality. Due to proactive procurement processes and effective subcontractor collaboration, Pinkard was able to hold pricing for more than a year despite a variable market and the fluctuations associated with tariffs. “Today marks an important milestone for our community as we celebrate the completion of 66 new affordable housing units. This achievement would not have been possible without the strong partnership and support of the City of Loveland City Council and staff, the Colorado Division of Housing, Wells Fargo, and the community at large. I’d like to also recognize our A-list design and construction team, led by Pinkard Construction, OZ Architecture, and North Star Design for their commitment to collaboration and innovation. Together, we are helping ensure that more individuals and families have access to safe, stable, and affordable places to call home. Thank you all for your commitment to making this vision a reality”, said Eric Hull, Director of Real Estate Development for Loveland Housing Authority. “We are so proud to finish The Edge on a high note,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “This decade-long collaboration is a testament to our ‘Plan Better, Partner Better, Build Better’ approach and the values we share with our 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 were 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, and Loveland Housing Development Corporation.
