Pinkard provided expert construction services for Foothills Park & Recreation District on the Columbine Memorial project. Columbine Memorial Littleton, CO, USA Foothills Park & Recreation District 2.8 acres Public Projects Pinkard donated fees and CM/GC services and worked with the local construction community to solicit in-kind donations for this memorial to the April 20, 1999 tragedy at Columbine High School. The memorial is an oval wall of native Colorado stone etched with narrative remembrances crafted from interviews of the victim's family and friends. Steep landforms of the existing hills gently fold back from the top of the outer retaining wall. An intricate granite ribbon design fills the center space. The tails of the ribbon are inscribed with the phrase "Never Forgotten." Benches are located in welcoming areas to allow the visitor to sit in reflection and contemplation. A walkway arcs along the top edge of the surrounding hills, providing an accessible route to the dramatic views of the distant foothills. Landscaped terraces on the north hill soften the hillside and allow for small gathering areas in which visitors might share their thoughts and experiences with others.

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.

Strong Pricing and Budget Phase Leadership Strong Pricing and Budget Phase Leadership March 14, 2022 Share Share CSU hired Pinkard to work with the architect during programming to assist with pricing and budget instead of at the end of schematic design, which is customary with the State of Colorado contract. CSU made this move because they recognized that Morgan Library would be a complex renovation fraught with many unforeseen conditions and complicated sequencing. Also, CSU’s “wish list” amounted to almost 29 million dollars. Their budget was $11 million. By bringing Pinkard in early, CSU mitigated some of the complications of the compressed design schedule, allowing Pinkard to provide significantly enhanced, targeted pricing and very accurate estimates. Pinkard also got a jump on planning the schedule, sequencing and locking in pricing for materials and equipment. One method for locking-in pricing was hiring mechanical and electrical subcontractors very early in design. These subs helped provide accurate ME pricing and pre-ordered major equipment, avoiding price increases that would damage CSU’s budget. To mitigate cost overruns in construction, Pinkard and Studiotrope worked with CSU to create a budget anticipating massive unforeseen conditions. The team “under-budgeted” the project but wrote over 25 add-alternates into the estimate. This way, as Pinkard and Studiotrope found creative field solutions to save CSU money during construction, CSU could activate the alternates as needed. This approach was so successful that CSU could claim their alternates and still have money for additional scope “extras.” Learn More Adaptive Reuse Construction Learn More Higher Education Construction See Projects Renovations and Additions See Projects CSU Morgan Library Renovation and Addition 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 Tops Out Carraway on Penn Multi-Family Development Pinkard Tops Out Carraway on Penn Multi-Family Development August 3, 2022 Share Share Pinkard Construction and OZ Architecture have completed the external structure for Carraway on Penn, a new 42-unit, approximately 34,619-square-foot multi-family residential property, with a focus on small unit sizes with lower monthly gross rents. The project is located just two blocks from the Louisiana/Pearl light rail station in Denver’s desirable Platt Park neighborhood. Confluent Development , in partnership with Narrate Companies , is the project owner, and construction is anticipated to be completed in October 2022. Tony Burke, president and COO of Pinkard, says the project is a natural fit for Pinkard’s teams, who have extensive experience building multifamily projects across Colorado. “Confluent Development is doing tremendous work bringing new and innovative multifamily spaces to Denver, and we’re very excited to be a part of the Carraway project, which is on schedule and on budget.” “Carraway on Penn represents a unique project for Confluent Development in the Platt Park neighborhood, one that will accommodate the increasing demand among residents for high-end, sophisticated apartment living in this community but at more attainable price points,” said Santiago Escobedo, development director at Confluent Development. “The project will incorporate features that adapt to today’s changing workplace, such as shared workspaces and boutiques, upscale finishes, and will appeal to those seeking an active yet simplistic lifestyle with convenient access to mass transit, parks and recreation, and nearby shopping and dining.” Matt Chiodini, associate principal at OZ Architecture, says that the goal with Carraway on Penn is to complement the historical components of the neighborhood while providing a thoughtful, modern living experience that will deliver lasting value. “ The complex site geometry, a triangle, inspired our team to pay special attention to key corners and show restraint along the street edges. Sensitivity to the building entries and window openings led to a unique asset that will provide much-needed housing in the heart of South Pearl district,” said Chiodini. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Confluent Development on this project in an extremely supply-constrained submarket in Denver. Working in partnership with OZ Architecture and Pinkard Construction, we have a first-class team and look forward to bringing this project to fruition,” said Adam Fenton of Narrate Companies. To date, Pinkard has completed more than 197 senior living , multifamily , and affordable housing projects, with a combined value of $3.9 billion.

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 Turns Pool and Natatorium Challenges Into Opportunities Pinkard Turns Pool and Natatorium Challenges Into Opportunities March 6, 2025 Share Share Pinkard Construction prides itself on being a community builder. A key amenity for many Front Range communities is their community pool. Whether it’s for a recreation district, HOA, or local jurisdiction, Pinkard understands their responsibility to get the pool facility constructed right the first time. This commitment is doubly important for the construction of the pool itself, as each and every new or renovated pool, whether enclosed or outside, has unique construction challenges and opportunities. Pinkard’s team has undeniable expertise in pool construction. Over their six-decade history they have successfully built or renovated over 50 recreation centers and 60 indoor and outdoor pools, all of them in Colorado. This highly successful track record includes countless examples of overcoming significant challenges through close collaboration with the project’s client, design team, and end user. Along the way, the team has taken those lessons learned to develop a unique and ever-growing “pool checklist” that considers every angle of a pool project, from controlling costs, to assuring the highest quality construction, to engaging with the community. Adding Value During Preconstruction During the preconstruction process, the project team faces three primary challenges/opportunities: cost control, escalation, and procurement. Working closely with the client and design team, Pinkard works diligently to balance the client's desires with the budget. Pinkard provides real-time pricing along with life-cycle analysis to enable the client to make informed decisions. Pinkard relies on its vast subcontractor relationships to obtain the most accurate and competitive pricing possible, engaging with multiple trade partners early to provide critical input on materials and options for flexibility in cost control. Another challenge is pricing multiple design iterations for months before locking down final costs. The project team interprets materials markets and provides accurate future cost estimates. Pinkard’s close relationships with major suppliers keep them constantly updated on pricing trends, which benefits the client's budget. With new material delays showing up almost daily, the team constantly monitors these situations, allowing them to suggest more readily available alternatives. Breaking ground in August of 2024, Pinkard’s is currently renovating of Broomfield’s Bay Aquatic Park, which centers around the replacement of the well-loved facility’s leisure pool that Pinkard constructed over thirty years earlier. During preconstruction, the Pinkard team suggested replacing the traditional concrete and tile gutters initially specified in the Design Development drawings with an innovative stainless-steel system that not only saved on costs but also shortened the schedule by three-to-four weeks, which the City of Broomfield ultimately opted to go with. Ensuring Quality During Construction Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) are paramount concerns on any Pinkard job, but the stakes are especially high on pool projects where mistakes and defects can be incredibly costly. While building Commerce City’s Bison Ridge Recreation Center in 2018, Pinkard identified potential contradictions between the grading work and the geotechnical report that could affect the long-term viability of the pool. In response the team called a “dirt summit” involving 14 stakeholders, including the excavator, pool subcontractor, structural and civil engineers, architect, and owner. After considering all the factors in play, the team agreed upon a modified structural design and more effective, locally-sourced structural infill, which saved Commerce City $950,000 while providing them with a more optimally performing pool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv8g9ETXDlY When constructing the pool itself, the team pays close attention to the pool shell, ensuring the quality of the subgrade prep, concrete supporting structures, accessibility of pipe routing, and pool deck construction. The most important quality assurance measure for any new pool shell is the water tightness test, in which the pool is filled and monitored over several days for any leakage. Since the adoption of the American Concrete Insitute’s formal testing procedure (ACI 350.1) in 2010, Pinkard has never failed a water tightness test. Given that many outdoor pool projects in Colorado are completed during winter, Pinkard has also developed specialty protocols for scheduling and completing work around the inevitable wet and freezing conditions that can disrupt concrete cure times and the installation of tile other specialty pool products. Indoor natatoriums present their own challenges. During both precon and construction, the Pinkard team vets and confirms critical details regarding the pool enclosure's ability to resist corrosion and the quality of specialty paints and coatings that seal sensitive surfaces. Pinkard also has the experience and knowledge needed to coordinate and install the required mechanical and pool equipment, such as pumps, filters, dehumidification systems, and specialty equipment like wave generators. Commissioning, in which we a facility’s various mechanical systems are calibrated for performance and efficiency, is another crucial stage in pool construction, and the team provides considerable attention and manpower to meet strict testing and performance standards for the facility. Going the Extra Mile for the Community Given that the majority of pool and recreation projects Pinkard takes on are occupied renovations where part of the facility remains open during construction, Pinkard has developed strict safety and security procedures that protect staff and visitors, as well as minimizing the disruption construction has on programming and people’s ability to enjoy of the rec center. To account for who is on-site at what time, the team ensures deliveries on time and requires construction crew badging and background checks. The team also carefully considers public access points and areas during construction, always maintaining physical and visual separation between the public and the construction work. This was certainly the case for Pinkard's 2021 renovation of Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center, in which the team gutted and expanded the existing natatorium to include a new six-lane lap pool, an aqua-exercise pool, a wave pool with lazy river and bubble pit, a zero-depth activity pool with play structure, geysers and water slide, and a therapeutic hydro-jet spa. The facility remained open to the public throughout construction, and Pinkard used safety and operational protocols to ensure guest and staff safety while minimizing impacts on daily operations. Recognizing that the public inconveniences related to occupied construction are not always popular, Pinkard takes a proactive approach to keeping the local community informed and excited about their projects. At Moorhead Recreation Center for the City of Aurora, for example, the team held hard hat tours of the job site to keep the excitement high and helped organize a "job fair" for local children to see the finished product and to allow our team to discuss our experience building the project. Similarly at Bay Aquatic Park in Broomfield, when site constraints necessitated that construction vehicles be routed through a residential neighborhood, Pinkard worked with city officials to develop a community outreach program that proactively engaged the affected residents, explaining the decision and including them in solutions for mitigating disruption and neighborhood safety concerns. In addition to enforcing strict hours and speed limits for construction vehicles in the neighborhood, and posting regular updates (plus a live cam) on the city’s website, the team holds recurring “info + coffee” events in the local park where residents can ask questions about the project and air concerns, which Pinkard can then work to alleviate. Summary Developed over many years and many successful projects, Pinkard Construction’s expertise in pool and natatoriums makes it one of the preeminent recreation contractors on the Front Range. From preconstruction to commissioning, they easily navigate the key challenges of cost control, procurement, and escalation, while their attention to detail and commitment to community outreach really sets them apart from other contractors. This approach allows Pinkard to meet the unique challenges of each client’s pool project while ensuring an unparalleled client experience and maximum community benefit.

Read It More Case Studies What Our Clients Say Select Type Button Button Rescuing a renovation “Although every project is going to have its ups and downs, I don’t think anyone anticipated this many “downs” when we first started. The great finish we enjoyed is a credit to Ensign, Pinkard, and Intergroup Architects’ strong commitment to team-building...it saved this project. Sloan’s Lake and Ensign are very proud of what this team was able to accomplish, and this facility is already making a difference in our patients’ lives.” See The Project On time, on budget "Our mutual client, Denver Health, remains extremely pleased with this impressive facility and its impact on the community. We appreciate Pinkard Construction Company's on-time, on-budget, high quality delivery of the Wellington E. Webb Center for Primary Care." See the Project Getting Procore Right "Over the years, we’ve had a lot of contractors use Procore on our projects. However, none of them have been able to figure out how to make Procore send us an email that has a single-click embedded link to download the one file that has the submittal or RFI, including its transmittal/cover sheet. They struggle to combine the submittals with their transmittals, and many struggle with correctly naming the PDF. From what I see from your emails, Dave, you’ve figured all of this out. If you could send me the steps on how to set up Procore to do this, we can share it with our other project contractors and see if they can get it right." See the Project Pleased with Pinkard's partnering "I was very pleased with Pinkard’s partnering. If we had issues with quality or schedule Pinkard would drop what they were doing to meet with me. Even with the hard conversations they were right there ready to go with detailed answers and explanations and options for solutions. Always professional conversations." See the Project Financial options "...our financially starved project required a lot of compromise. Rick gave us three or four options for virtually every line item, just so we could think about them.... Pinkard enabled us to save the soul of our building." See the Project High quality work "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."

Pinkard Frameworks Promotes Russell Hardcastle Pinkard Frameworks Promotes Russell Hardcastle January 29, 2025 Share Share Longtime Pinkard employee Russell Hardcastle has been promoted to the new position of Framing Engineer for Pinkard Frameworks. Pinkard Frameworks, the in-house wood-framing division of Pinkard Construction, created this new role specifically for Russell to take advantage of his unique skillset that enables him to translate his years of field construction experience into a BIM and clash detection-related engineering specialist. In his new role, Russ manages virtual construction and clash detection on every Frameworks project, scrupulously analyzing constructability details. This includes creating 2D and 3D framing layouts that give Frameworks the ability to confirm architectural and structural intent and then design custom framing packages that are identical to what a wall panel supplier would do. It also gives Pinkard Frameworks the ability to design custom framing packages that can also include wall panelization, with the flexibility to either self-construct wall panels or contract the work to a panel fabricator. Russ also checks dimensions, compiles quantities for procurement, identify gaps, omissions, duplicates, and clashes, all with the mission of setting up the construction team to have the most efficient construction process possible. Wood Framing Manager Dan Harris: “A lot of guys can understand framing when they are seeing it right in front of them, but Russ can sit in front of his computer and switch between three dimensions and two dimensions without losing a beat. He can visualize complexities within the structure, put them into context, and display them in a way that design teams and framing crews can understand. Russ’ skillset is truly the Holy Grail of construction.” This diligence pays off regularly. One recent wood framed project was specified to be hemlock/fir construction, but one drawing page stated a requirement for part of the structure to be Douglas fir. Russ was able to modify his BIM model to properly replace more than 3,000 hemlock/fir studs with all Douglas fir prior to construction. These critically important preconstruction steps benefit owners with a more efficient construction process that maximizes efficiency while reducing waste and time lost for tear-outs and re-builds. While it is common for a contractor to provide BIM services/clash detection for major mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, BIM services like those provided by Frameworks are relatively rare in the wood-framing world. With more than 20 years in construction, Russ’ career has featured a strong focus on multi-family wood framing, custom woodworking, and hospitality construction. He joined Pinkard in 2015, where he quickly became a standout employee. As a result of his construction common sense and strong field performance, he was able to skip three years of a four-year journeyman carpenter apprentice program at the Construction Industry Training Council. He completed Associated General Contractors’ superintendent/ project manager apprenticeship program in December 2024. Russ joined Frameworks in the summer of 2023, rising to the role of Framing Superintendent prior to his current position as Framing Engineer. Russ’ new role greatly enhances Frameworks’ mission to provide industry-best preconstruction services for Pinkard’s wood frame clients. Pinkard formed its Frameworks division in 2023 to fill a much-needed gap in the wood framing industry. Frameworks’ services focus on best preconstruction practices to eliminate the waste and delays associated with traditional wood framing construction practices. Frameworks’ professional in-depth preconstruction practices allow skilled wood framing crews to work at optimum efficiency from day one to provide our clients with optimum value for the construction budgets.
