Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage Project Rewind: Innovation and Technology at South College Avenue Parking Garage April 8, 2025 Share Share It was early summer of 2016, and Pinkard was on track to hit the contracted July 12 completion date on South College Avenue Parking Garage, a 222,000 square foot, 662-car, four-story precast structure on the southeast corner of the Colorado State University campus. A design-build partnership between Pinkard Construction, H+L Architecture and Pittsburgh-based parking structure specialists Carl Walker Construction, the final design for the $15.2 M project featured numerous innovations, including state-of-the-art parking technologies, electric vehicle charging stations (a rarity in 2016), an advanced LED lighting system that improves pedestrian safety while reducing energy and maintenance costs, and a bioswale rain garden that filters out pollutants naturally and directs the clean storm water into the city system. During preconstruction the team provided exceptional value enhancement solutions, such as adding a “Mondrian-patterned” precast element for design variety and cost savings over a stone clad wall and hydraulic elevators with glass doors and backs instead of the more costly four-sided glass traction-elevator cabs. After breaking ground Pinkard had implemented creative field solutions and manpower adjustments to overcome numerous unforeseen conditions, including excessive groundwater and subgrade structural modifications. Then, more than midway through the project, CSU handed the design-build team a new challenge: can we add rooftop solar panels? With the fall semester approaching, Pinkard sprang into action to price and procure the owner addition, which would require rooftop structural modifications to allow for the addition of a solar array. Thanks to the team’s swift action, the approved scope addition was able to begin construction in June and stretch into late August, just in time for classes to begin. Ultimately, the South College Avenue Parking Garage was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. CSU points to this project and experience as a shining example of the design-build approach at its best, informing the university’s specific procurement of new projects going forward, and leading them to be less prescriptive, and to rely more on the expertise and innovation that design-build teams are capable of delivering when given the opportunity.

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 Tops Out Phase III of The Edge Pinkard Tops Out Phase III of The Edge June 25, 2025 Share Share The third and final phase of Loveland Housing Authority’s The Edge Affordable Apartments development is currently on time and in budget, with two of its three buildings at or nearing topping out . The Edge’s on time/in budget status is largely due to Pinkard’s strong preconstruction partnering effort with OZ Architecture and the meticulous due diligence from the contractor’s in-house framing division, Pinkard Frameworks. The preconstruction effort that included a comprehensive lessons-learned study from Pinkard/OZ’s past two Edge phases helped provide the most complete set of drawings of any of the three Edge projects. Frameworks’ advanced CAD-based constructability review helped to eliminate the waste that typically goes with a traditional framing process. Pinkard also identified multiple strategies to increase efficiency in the field by identifying potential conflicts and the most effective approaches to assemble the wood framing. Thanks to strong past partnering efforts, 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. LHA’s Director of Real Estate Development Eric Hull: “Loveland Housing Authority is thrilled with the construction progress to date. Pinkard Construction continues to demonstrate why they are one of our most trusted general contractors. Their dedication, expertise, and innovative construction techniques have kept the project on schedule and within budget, despite several weather delays during a rainy spring season. Phase III will add 66 much-needed affordable housing units to Loveland. With Phases I and II completed in 2016 and 2020, respectively, the Edge campus will soon total 205 units — further advancing LHA’s mission to provide quality affordable housing for the Loveland community. 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.

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.

A Culture of Safety Excellence A Culture of Safety Excellence May 10, 2024 Share Share At Pinkard Construction, safety is not just a core value, it’s the central focus of everything we do. “Safety is not just a priority, it's the priority ,” says Safety Manager David Ruddy, better known on the jobsite as Safety Dave. Dave is a passionate advocate for creating a culture of safety that extends beyond the workplace. “For me, safety comes down to one thing: your why. For most of us, that’s our loved ones. Working safe, for us and for everyone around us, means coming home healthy and whole every single day.”  That’s why Safety Dave rejects the old saying “Safety First,” instead preaching the mantra, “Family first, safety always.”  Dave continues: “We want to make sure that everyone who works for us knows that their safety is key to the success of our company. And it means making sure that everyone else on our jobsite—fellow workers, neighbors, passers-by and visitors to the site—do too.” Rather than simply policing safety violations, Pinkard believes that creating a positive culture of safety is the key to ensuring everyone on the job site stays safe. “We want to create a culture where safety is not just a set of rules and regulations, but an integral part of the way we work,” Dave explains. “We make sure people know their ‘why’ and then we equip them with the best possible training. We create processes and procedures that make it easy to work safely. Everyone must feel empowered to speak up if they see something that is not safe.”  In addition to physical safety, Pinkard is also committed to promoting mental health awareness and providing associated resources for its employees. "We recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. The construction industry has an alarming rate of suicide. That must change. We want our employees to know that it's important to talk about mental health and that we're here to support them."  To help promote holistic wellness, Pinkard has partnered with You Turn Health to provide employees 24/7 access to supportive services for stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and suicidal ideation. “Almost all of us have experienced losing a loved one,” says Dave. “Sometimes there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent it, but we are committed to making sure that preventable injuries and deaths never happen on our watch.”   Learn More Our Team Learn More Share This Story Share Share More News Sort By Topic Reset Pinkard Construction Becomes a Catamount Constructors Company, Uniting Two Denver Leaders July 7, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Learn More Pinkard Promotes Mike Hager to Construction Manager May 18, 2026 Learn More Pinkard and The Action Center Begin Emory School Transformation March 9, 2026 Learn More Load More Our Approach Partner, Plan, BUILD.

Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion Pinkard Breaks Ground on Buchanan Rec Center Aquatics Expansion April 2, 2026 Share Share Following a Thursday morning groundbreaking ceremony, Pinkard Construction is set to begin work on the long-awaited aquatics expansion at Evergreen’s Buchanan Park Recreation Center. Returning to the same facility Pinkard first built back in 2003, the new $11 M addition for Evergreen Park and Recreation District (EPRD) will add a new multi-use indoor pool that connects to the existing natatorium. Designed to be a community asset for all, the pool will feature an over-water climbing wall, a rope swing, and a diving board. As the new home for Evergreen High School swim teams and Evergreen Hurricanes swim program, the pool will accommodate eight lanes and a competition-level timing system. Designed by EV Studio in partnership with aquatics specialists Counsilman-Hunsaker, the natatorium will feature three garage doors that can be opened to provide the outdoor pool experience. Though connected to the current natatorium, it will have its own entrance, bathrooms and changing area, and independent mechanical and storage rooms. With preliminary sitework already underway, full construction activities are scheduled to begin in May and expected to take 8-10 months. The construction plan was carefully designed to allow the rest of the recreation center to safely remain fully operational throughout the project, with only a minimal shutdown of the main natatorium planned for final punch through and connection of the spaces. To get the project shovel-ready within EPRD’s budgeting constraints, Pinkard’s preconstruction team worked tirelessly with the owner and architect to find creative solutions that saved the project money without affecting the size or depth of the new pool, and without making any compromises to the overall programming goals or community end-user experience. Value engineering solutions included adjusting the roof design and mechanical systems. To save time in the schedule, the project will utilize a state-of-the-art Myrtha pool shell, which is prefabricated in Italy and assembled on site. With a long history of recreation and pool work, aquatics renovations and additions like Buchanan are an increasing specialty for Pinkard Construction, which recently completed a comprehensive pool replacement at Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park – another existing facility that the general contractor originally built decades prior. “It is truly a privilege to return to Buchanan Park and expand upon the beautiful facility we first built over twenty years ago to meet the growing needs of the community,” says Pinkard President Tony Burke. “We thrive on partnering with passionate and involved local government agencies like Evergreen Park and Recreation District, and are equally pleased to be teaming with a highly collaborative architect like EVstudio.” "We are excited to have Pinkard Construction partnering with EPRD to build this state-of-the-art pool in Buchanan Park, allowing us to sunset our 50+ year old swimming pool at Wulf Rec Center,” says EPRD Executive Director Cory Vander Veen. “The Pinkard team has a wealth of knowledge building pools around Colorado, and we appreciate their ability to be innovative with budget and construction constraints."

Pinkard Overcomes Market Challenges to Break Ground on Over 700 Units of Multi-Family in 2023 Pinkard Overcomes Market Challenges to Break Ground on Over 700 Units of Multi-Family in 2023 January 31, 2024 Share Share Denver has been experiencing a boom in the construction industry in recent years, particularly in the multi-family sector. As a result, Denver and surrounding cities’ building departments have been overwhelmed by the volume of permit applications and inspections, causing delays and backlogs. In addition, the market is still feeling the effects of an unprecedented pandemic that disrupted global supply chains and caused shortages of essential materials such as lumber, steel, and concrete, leading to inflation and cost escalation. Despite these challenges, Pinkard has managed to navigate the complex and competitive Denver market and deliver successful multi-family projects. According to Leighton Neff, Chief Preconstruction Manager at Pinkard Construction, "When our client's project slips, it costs both of us money, so it is extremely important that we collaborate with the client and architect to make sure we expertly navigate the permitting process." One of the company's strategies to overcome the challenges is to leverage its experience, expertise, and relationships with clients, design partners, subcontractors, and suppliers. Pinkard Construction has also been using technology such as cloud-based software to streamline its processes and communication. In addition, the company has been implementing lean construction principles, including prefabrication, modularization, and just-in-time delivery, to optimize resources and minimize waste. The results speak for themselves. In the first six months of 2023, Pinkard broke ground on four complex multi-family projects in just six months, poised to deliver over 700 new units of market rate and affordable housing. These projects are the Krisana Apartments, a 151-unit affordable housing project in southeast Denver; the Akin Golden Triangle, a 12-story, 98-unit building in downtown Denver; the Akin Tennyson, an 83-unit luxury apartment project in northwest Denver; and the Willoughby Corner, a 400-unit affordable housing project in Lafayette near Boulder (Pinkard is currently working on phase one, 192 Units). These projects demonstrate Pinkard's commitment to building quality and sustainable communities while overcoming the challenges of building in Colorado. Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction, said, "Denver and the surrounding areas are vibrant and dynamic, offering many opportunities for growth and development. With the recent escalation in the housing market, more inventory is desperately needed if we are to continue to grow and attract great talent to our area. We are excited to be part of this transformation and contribute to Colorado’s prosperity." Pinkard Construction's ability to navigate the permitting process, overcome material shortages, and implement innovative construction practices has allowed it to deliver successful multi-family projects in Denver. The company's commitment to collaboration, technology, and sustainability bodes well for its future in the Denver market and beyond.
