May's Construction Recap

At Studio PBA, we have created a dedicated construction administration department. This creates a multitude of benefits for our firm. By devoting staff strictly to construction administration (CA), each project undertaken by our firm has a team member with intimate knowledge of current construction practices and methods. It allows for more attention to be paid to each project during construction, subsequently minimizing the need for change orders and troubleshooting. Having a dedicated CA team means that the lessons learned on other projects are implemented into the drawings in real time and we're able to take advantage of active learning on projects. Our firm is able to make this very seamless transition between the production department and CA department by having the production project manager involved throughout the CA process.

Summer of 2018 is poised to be a big one for our CA team.  We currently have over ten projects nearing construction completion and several more are slated to break ground this summer.  Our teams are on site almost weekly monitoring the progress of these projects, gathering great ideas, lessons learned, and photos of the progress.

Parkside Aerial Images of Construction Moving Forward

The Parkside Apartment Project in Denver's Riverside neighborhood is going vertical and making lots of progress. We haven't given an update on this project since February when construction began on the underground parking structure.  I received these great drone aerials last week from Tyler Elick with developer Holland Partner Group.  You can see the Commons Park-facing project has completed the podium and are starting on the wood framing.  This project will be home to 161 residential units and an underground podium garage with 169 spaces and will sit on Little Raven and 19th.

In addition the other cranes covering the Denver skyline, you can see the cranes for one of our other projects, AMLI Riverfront Green in construction two parcels over in front of the Glass House.

Thank you Tyler and Holland Partner Group for sharing the fantastic images!

Groundbreaking: Holland Parkside

This past Thursday we celebrated the groundbreaking of Holland Parkside, the 161 apartment multifamily building will occupy the final undeveloped site overlooking Commons park on Little Raven St.

Holland Parkside is located in the Commons neighborhood, at the cross streets of Little Raven and 19th Street, adjacent to downtown Denver.  It was a cool morning with the buzz of construction trucks in the air, alluding to what was yet to come. Two of PBA’s team members, Jill Reilly and James Richardson, attended the ceremony and enjoyed a morning of stirring speeches and Denver’s tastiest biscuits in Commons Park. The groundbreaking was hosted by developer Holland Partner Group. Jill Reilly commenced the construction with the help of the Holland Partner Group team members Kira Chaffe, Brian Blackburn, Wally Chase, and Justin Hoxie of HKS Engineering. This project is expected to be completed in Spring of 2018. For more information on this project, check out our website here!
