Pinkard Breaks Ground on Phase III of The Edge Pinkard Breaks Ground on Phase III of The Edge December 19, 2024 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 Crosses Critical Milestones at Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV Pinkard Crosses Critical Milestones at Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV March 17, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction has just successfully completed water tightness testing and gutter installations at the City of Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV renovation. These two critical winter milestones were accomplished exactly on schedule, aided by a creative winter installation plan, a timely procurement process, and a collaborative subcontractor/installer sequencing plan. The water tightness testing phase followed concrete pool shell curing and the subsequent filling of the pool. After a three-day concrete saturation phase, Pinkard successfully conducted the three-day water tightness test of the pool shell and pressure testing of the 24,000 gallon surge tank. The water tightness test revealed virtually zero leakage, and the surge tank is operating at peak efficiency. The Pinkard team was fortunate to have a perfect-weather window that allowed for an uninterrupted testing sequence. Stainless steel gutter installations, which came with a similar set of possible weather-related challenges, also went off without a hitch. The gutter installation sequence had a timely kick-off with gutters arriving four days before scheduled installation. The Ohio-based specialty installers arrived a day early and commenced installation on time, employing special winter installation processes that were perfectly suited for the colder temperatures and light snow cover. These winter-weather construction efficiencies were made possible by early planning and collaboration during preconstruction. Using considerable input from numerous pool specialty contractors, Pinkard and the owner/design team agreed that for winter installation, a stainless steel gutter system was far superior to a conventional cast-in-place concrete gutter system. By incorporating the stainless steel system, Broomfield avoided the need for a more complicated underground piping system and tedious tile installation. Intricate tile systems typically require more predictable spring/summer temperatures. This approach provided cost savings for Broomfield and three-to-four weeks savings on the construction schedule. The water tightness testing and gutter installation completes the last of the major critical path pool activities, opening the way for preparing the concrete shell for plaster application in early June. The critical path now shifts to pool play structures, infrastructure, and mechanical/ plumbing installations. The Bay Aquatics Park project continues to be on time, with shared owner/contractor savings allowing for some owner “wish list” scope additions.

Creative Conceptual Programming and Budgeting Creative Conceptual Programming and Budgeting March 15, 2022 Share Share On 4725 South Lowell, The original project plan conceived by Denver Housing Authority (DHA) and architect WORKSHOP8 involved renovating the square-donut-shaped existing building and constructing a third story above it. This third-story addition was considered an economical way to provide 50% more units to the South Lowell facility. Once Pinkard was hired, despite the structural engineer’s determination that the building should be able to support a third-story addition, we determined that a third-story addition was an unacceptable risk for the owner, tenants, and project team. As a result, DHA was resigned to the fact that their only apparent option was to renovate the building without adding new units. Following a careful program analysis, Pinkard suggested the creative idea of constructing a four-story addition inside the courtyard of the existing building. Early in programming, DHA and WORKSHOP8 had considered and rejected a similar idea as infeasible because of costs per unit. However, Pinkard demonstrated that with a few key tweaks to the original idea, constructing inside the courtyard — a building within a building — was certainly feasible. dHA loved Pinkard’s building within a building idea because it met their specified additional units and got them into the budget. Since the third-story addition plans were only in the schematic design phase, a major design shift was not out of the question. WORKSHOP8 was eager to tackle the unique idea and began developing the plan immediately. The plan soon hit a major snag when the City and County of Denver permitting authorities rejected the idea. A building within a building had never before been proposed within the City and County, and they had serious concerns about everything from stormwater issues to fire ratings and fire department access. Knowing these obstacles could be overcome, Pinkard and the owner/architect team formulated a plan that met all City and County objections. After 56 code compliance iterations, the City and County of Denver gave the go-ahead. Thanks to our diligence and persistence early in design, DHA would get the extra housing units they so desperately needed. Effective Value Analysis/Engineering From the beginning, DHA was somewhat vague about disclosing their target budget, stating only “we need to be as inexpensive as possible.” The original estimate came in at $12 million with a corresponding comment from DHA of “it’s way too expensive.” Several weeks later we provided a second estimate of $11.3 million. At that point, DHA disclosed they needed to be at $9.5 million. Armed with a well-defined budget, Pinkard produced 89 value engineering options to meet the $9.5 million budget. We were ready to start construction.

Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Share Share A former public school building in Lakewood will soon take on a new mission of community service. Pinkard Constriction has begun a large renovation converting the onetime home of Jeffco’s Emory Elementary School, which closed its doors in 2022, into a new community campus offering workforce training, community college classes, behavioral health, gymnasium programming and family support services. The campus is owned and anchored by The Action Center, which has served Jefferson County and Denver Metro Area families in need for more than 50 years with services and resources that include a market filled with groceries, hygiene items and clothing, financial assistance, education opportunities, and connections to other important community resources. In addition to relocating and expanding The Action Center’s complete operations, the campus will also be home to other community-serving partner organizations such as Jefferson County Public Health. Designed by Davis Partnership Architects, the current renovation footprint covers 82,000 square feet of the 100,000+ SF building. This will expand as additional partners are brought in to occupy the remaining 20,000 SF. Much of the building will be gutted and reconfigured to fit the various needs of the new tenants, which includes office space, a combined free food and free clothing market, health clinics, a café, and an education center. Scope includes modifications to MEP systems, upgraded access controls, and new skylights, windows, ceiling grids, floors, doors, frames, and hardware. Exterior work includes considerable excavation, stormwater utilities, parking lot upgrades, community garden, and a detention pond. The project also includes the new construction of a freestanding, 7,000 SF, structural steel building that will function as storage and distribution for The Action Center’s food hub, featuring a loading dock, large refrigeration/freezer space, and pallet-sized racking system. The former Emory Elementary School building prior to renovations. In addition to the above scope for The Action Center, valuing $13.2 M in construction, Pinkard is conducting $1.9 M in tenant improvements for a health clinic run by Jefferson County Public Health. Construction is currently scheduled to take 12 months, with the possibility of added scope as The Action Center brings in additional campus partners. The transformation of Emory Elementary is the latest in a long history of collaboration between Pinkard Construction and The Action Center, which have both been proudly based in Lakewood since the 1960s. When The Action Center first purchased their existing headquarters at 8755 W. 14th Avenue in 1991, Pinkard helped make the former post office building habitable, later conducting a comprehensive renovation and addition to the facility in 2001. Then in 2014, as The Action Center’s needs grew, Pinkard helped the non-profit convert and expand the neighboring office building into their new Program Services Building. In the years between, Pinkard has continued supporting The Action Center through various small projects, fundraising, and participation in drives and events. “Pinkard’s 35-year relationship with The Action Center is one of the proudest and most fulfilling in our company’s history,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “While we’d all prefer to live in a world where organizations like The Action Center are not necessary, we are grateful they are in a position to expand and combine their services with other partners to meet the growing needs of our community.” “We are thrilled to again be partnering with Pinkard Construction on what will be the most ambitious construction project in the Action Center’s history,” says Action Center CEO Pam Brier. “Partnerships and relationships are the themes that have brought us to this junction, and we are so excited to be repurposing what has been a wonderful community asset as a school into an equally wonderful community asset as a center for community wellness – where we hope all will find a place to gather, connect and flourish.” Learn More Adaptive Reuse Construction Learn More Renovations and Additions See Projects Emory School Adaptive Reuse 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.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for City and County of Denver on the Minoru Yasui Plaza project. Minoru Yasui Plaza Denver, Colorado, USA City and County of Denver 197,000 Sq. Ft. Public Projects, Office, Tight Site, High Tech Building Systems, High Security Systems & Construction Site, Renovation The complete gut and renovation of the 197,000 sf, 17-story Minoru Yasui Plaza office building in downtown Denver included extensive asbestos abatement and full interior demolition and renovation, new architectural finishes, interior walls, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, electrical and telecom systems. The structural repair of certain elements and re-roofing the building was also included. Pinkard originally built this building, the old Downtowner Motor Inn and Hotel, in 1969. Because it was originally designed as a hotel, deck-to-deck heights only allowed 9 inches of space for fire protection, electrical, HVAC, and extensive amounts of data cable. A special European hydronic radiant panel system that uses only four inches of ceiling space was installed to make room for the other systems. The ceiling-height/hydronic radiant panel system created some unusual phasing problems. All data cable had to be installed before the ceiling grid, and some of the radiant panels and requisite piping went in before the walls were constructed. Staging was severely limited, allowing for only a single delivery truck at a time. As a result, deliveries were conducted strictly on an "as-scheduled" basis, creating what was described as "airplanes in a holding pattern circling over an airport." A single truck would pull up to the loading area, materials go into the single exterior elevator and then directly to the floor under renovation. There was no room for the usual exterior trash chute or dumpsters. To solve the challenge of disposing of demolished materials, a 3' x 6' existing interior duct chase was expanded to 6' x 6' to serve as the trash chute for the project. As demolished materials accumulated at the bottom of the chute, they were moved by a Bobcat-type front-end loader into dumpsters inside the building.
