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.

Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation Pinkard Construction Awarded Bay Aquatic Park Renovation April 30, 2024 Share Share Pinkard Construction has been awarded the renovation project for the Bay Aquatic Park Phase IV in Broomfield. Project cost is estimated at $9 million and will include the removal and replacement of the primary leisure pool, family slide, body slides, and slide plunge pool, along with the addition of deck space, shade structures, and a new mechanical building. Pinkard was the general contractor for the original aquatic park when it was first built in 1991. Additionally, it was the first community water park in the Denver metro area, and due to age, condition, and updated health and building codes, the facility needs renovation. In 2022, BHA Design, Inc. and their team, including Counsilman-Hunsaker, were selected to design the project. Schematic design drawings were submitted in September 2022, and the project paused while additional funding was secured. Currently, the design is progressing toward the delivery of final construction drawings. "We are thrilled to have been awarded this project," said Tony Burke, president of Pinkard Construction. "We have a long history of successful pool construction projects in Colorado, and we are excited to bring our expertise to the renovation of Broomfield Bay Aquatic Park. Our team is ready to work closely with BHA Design, Inc. and the City and County of Broomfield to deliver a high-quality project that will benefit the community for years to come. It’s very rewarding to be able to come back over thirty years later and work once again on a project that the community has enjoyed so much. Many of our current employees remember coming here as kids." “Pinkard Construction has been invaluable during the preconstruction phase by helping to ensure constructability and that cost-saving measures are captured in the final design,” said Brian Graham, capital improvement program manager for Broomfield. Design work is anticipated to be completed in Spring 2024. The intent is to close The Bay Aquatic Park for construction in August 2024, with the objective to reopen the Bay Aquatic Park in July 2025, to ensure a partial Summer 2025 season at The Bay.

Located southwest of the intersection of 120th and Emma streets in East Lafayette, Willoughby Corner is a master-planned greenfield project born of an intergovernmental agreement among Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA), Boulder County, and the City of Lafayette. Pinkard’s Phase 1 of this development ($83 M in hard costs, $106 M all in) includes a 63-unit apartment building for 55-and-over residents, four multi-family buildings totaling 129 units, a community center, and $15 million in roads and infrastructure (R&I) improvements. Featuring extensive geothermal and solar energy systems, the all-electric project is now Colorado’s largest Zero Energy Ready Home community. The roads and infrastructure improvements came with considerable jurisdictional challenges as the City of Lafayette worked through its long term R&I plans. Thanks to a strong collaboration among the owner/design team, Pinkard, and the City, Pinkard was able to make significant modifications to the existing construction and logistics plans to accommodate the city’s ever changing requirements, but the R&I modifications resulted in a five-month delay to construction start. BCHA granted Pinkard a five-month schedule extension, but all parties agreed that meeting the originally contracted completion date was critical to BCHA’s funding needs. Pinkard ultimately completed the project as originally scheduled on December 31st, 2024, following an intensive resequencing that included a major revamping of the construction plan, an enhanced quality control plan, and numerous manpower adjustments. One design team member described the completion effort as “miraculous.” Pinkard Frameworks, Pinkard's in-house wood framing division, played a key role in keeping the project on schedule, with in-depth planning during preconstruction and considerable manpower adjustments in the field. Frameworks’ focus was saving money for BCHA while maximizing construction efficiencies and avoiding in-field redesigns. RS&H Principal Architect Tino Leone: “Frameworks’ approach to preconstruction planning and field efficiencies had a significant impact on schedule. It was a great benefit to the project.” All construction work was completed under near-occupied conditions, with heavy school traffic jams bisecting the construction site and significant road closures and detours impacting site access and deliveries. With numerous funding sources covering various aspects of this large project, Pinkard provided 30+ estimates during the complicated two-year-long preconstruction phase. Pinkard’s intensive collaboration and creativity in design optimization ensured a timely, in-budget construction start. Funding included 4% and 9% CHFA tax credits. BCHA Executive Director Susana Lopez-Baker: “We completed a $100+ million project with $15 million in infrastructure improvements on top of 192 housing units in 16 months. I think that’s just incredible. Pinkard was always flexible, and we were always beating challenges and meeting our goals. It was really exceptional to see, and people love our beautiful development.” Currently, Pinkard is continuing with the City’s R&I improvements surrounding the Willoughby development. Roads and infrastructure upgrades are expected to be complete by the end of May. The Boulder County Housing Authority is leasing Willoughby Corner now, with below-market-rate homes available for people earning up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, or about $70,000 per year for a two-person household.
