Project Progress
DenverInfill had a great write-up on Studio PBA's new project in LoHi: 2680 18th Street. Construction is not yet underway as the existing structure is still standing but make sure to check back for updates as construction begins and this project starts to take shape. http://denverinfill.com/blog/2017/03/2680-18th-street.html
AMLI Riverfront Green has reached the first floor. After working hard through the winter months, the first at grade concrete slab has finally taken shape. March will see the remainder of the building come up to the same level. April will kick off with a bang when our first floor above grade starts to take shape. All concrete work is scheduled to be completed by the end of May, when the metal wall panels for the apartments units will begin. Now that we are above ground, take a moment to stop by and see the building taking shape.
Elevate at Inova in Centennial has made lots of progress since our November update. The clubhouse is nearly completed with interior finishes and trim in-progress, which you can see in the first two images below. Several of the buildings have the roofing, window and wrap installation in-progress as you can see in picture #3. The last two images show an overall view if the various stages of construction among the 10 buildings and club house.
Lots of progress at Mill Creek's Modera Observatory Park the past few months as you can see in the photographs below. The exterior siding in completely installed along with a majority of the exterior veneer painting. You can see inside select units that drywall is being installed and painting is completed. Other units have appliances, trim, flooring and carpet installation finished along with lighting fixtures. You can see the fitness center starting to take shape as well as the drywall and wood ceiling installation in the clubhouse. Be sure to check back for for updates this project's progress as it continues to work toward completion.
Holland Parkside or 1880 Little Raven as it will be called moving forward, is making lots of progress on the underground podium garage. These images were taken only a few short weeks ago and with weather permitting, construction will continue pushing forward and it will start going vertical in no time.
Alta Pinehurst has come a long way in the past few months. This 19+ acre project with Wood Partners, consists of 13 multifamily buildings with private attached garages. Located on South Wadsworth next to Pinehurst Country Club, it features a two-story clubhouse with a cyber cafe, seating & bar area as well as a fitness center. Alta Pinehurst is due to be completed later this fall. Check out the great aerial images we've received from Wood Partners and some more detailed pictures collected by our construction administration team. A lot of progress on this project since our last update in October.
Modera Observatory Park's construction has been continuing on through the snow and cold, making strides toward completion. Once completed, this project will offer 277 units between two buildings split by Josephine Street and sandwiched between Jewel Ave. and E. Asbury Ave in the DU neighborhood. You can see the aerial image from a time-lapse camera we've covered in previous posts (https://app.oxblue.com/open/multifam/demo17). In the subsequent images you get a closer look at more project details. You can see the balconies and exterior elements forming, the location of the future pool and hot tub, the roof deck access from the townhouses of building one, along with the vibrant exterior colors.
2017 is going to be a big year for Studio PBA. We have several projects under construction around the Denver-metro, Salt Lake City, Fort Collins and Cheyenne. We receive great aerial images from many of our developers and contractors. It is always great to see the progression of the projects we design as they come to fruition.
We've got some updated images from the past few weeks of two big projects, AMLI's Riverfront Green (Above) in Riverfront Park that is going up next to the Glass House. Second, Elevate at Inova (below) in Centennial is a project with The Wolff Company that is expected to be completed in 2017 as you can see the ten different buildings all taking shape.

We have just gained access to a new EarthCam time lapse camera that is set up for Sugarmont Apartments, a large project with Boulder Ventures located in the Sugar House area of Salt Lake City. This project will consist of 352 units over 2.86 acres with a pedestrian plaza and three floors of wrapped parking. Although there isn't much to see yet, crews have been doing a lot of demolition, taking down a building that previously stood at this location and are moving around lots of earth to prepare for construction to begin. Be sure to check back with this blog for updates as this project progresses.
PBA's team was on site this week as construction began for the Hilton Garden Inn Thornton at The Grove Shopping Center. We are designing this 122-room project for Spirit Hospitality which will be their company's second property in the Thornton area. In addition to the hotel, this project features Johnny's Italian Steakhouse which will be the franchise's first Colorado location. We look forward to seeing this project come together! Spirit Hospitality announced the groundbreaking earlier this week here: http://www.spirithospitality.net/insider-tips

Holland Parkside Apartments Update: http://denverinfill.com/blog/2016/11/parkside-apartments-update-2.html
AMLI's Riverfront Green Update: http://denverinfill.com/blog/2016/11/amli-riverfront-green-update-3.html
Studio PBA staff had a great opportunity today to visit and tour a few of our projects in construction phase thanks to our construction administration team led by Andrew Hjelmstad, Matt Baron and Brian Dunn.
The first tour was The Wolff Company's Havana project also known as Elevate at Innova which is a garden-style apartment community consisting of 10 buildings over 8.04 acres in Centennial expected to be completed in Fall 2017. The benefit of touring this project was the 10 different building styles, all in different phases of construction from setting up the form work for the post tensioned slab to applying interior finishes to a newly enclosed clubhouse.
The second site toured today was AMLI Dry Creek located in the Inverness Business Park at I-25 and Dry Creek, a 257 unit multifamily project. This development is at 50% completion and we were able to see multiple phases of construction on this wraparound apartment complex. This building features an internal 4-story parking garage that will house 428 parking spaces. This tour allowed us to view the finished roof air condenser units, internal roof drains and scenic mountain views.
An additional team toured a third project, Alta Pinehurst in Lakewood. This is a multifamily garden-style community with developer, Wood Partners consisting of 13 separate buildings and 726 units. Construction is well underway and this project is expected to be completed next fall.
It was a great learning opportunity for the staff and a excellent way to see the progress of our projects.
AMLI Riverfront Green is making great construction progress. The crane base is installed. Waterproofing going up the exterior walls. AMLI Riverfront Green is about to start going vertical. The tower crane shows up in the middle of November, once the foundation work is complete. Then you will start to see the walls getting poured as we move forward into constructing the underground parking structure. AMLI Riverfront Green will have two floors of underground parking for residents with more parking above ground.
"After years of proposals and several different iterations, demolition is underway on the site of the future Sugarmont Apartments by Boulder Ventures, the next phase of their 2100 Sugarhouse Mixed Use Development. The project replaces two abandoned Granite Furniture warehouses at the intersection of McClelland Street and Sugarmont Drive." to read more about this project and see images of the demolition, click on Building Salt Lake's article found here: http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/construction-starts-on-large-sugar-house-development/
Located just in front of the Glass House, AMLI’s Riverfront Green apartments have dug out the first level of underground parking and have started on the second. The photo shows the first level of shoring walls in place around the garage. The shoring walls, built of steel piles and lagging, will be a permanent part of the building to hold up the surrounding streets. Concrete walls will be poured inside the shoring walls to support the building above. AMLI expects to reach the bottom depth of the project in the coming weeks and start pouring the concrete foundation by the end of September.

Members of Mill Creek and Studio PBA were invited for the ‘Modera Topping Out BBQ’ put together by Tamra Holton, Project Coordinator, from Shaw Construction to celebrate the final structural support frame/wall on the 4 story buildings. What a milestone! Two structures now occupy the site where last year they were just empty plots. Here are some photos from the event & project progress.
UPDATE: Demolition started this afternoon-- Watch it live!
Demolition is set to begin on the northeast wing of the Aria Cohousing project this week! Our construction partner Taylor Kohrs have set up a time-lapse camera to track the progress of construction. In the next few days a majority of the corridor pictured above will be demolished making way for some much needed surface parking, additional landscaping and gardens. To keep an eye on demolition and future progress you can watch the time-lapse camera here: https://www.senserasystems.com/public/TaylorKohrs/M38631222082
Check out the great time-lapse footage capturing our Modera Observatory Park project going up in the DU neighborhood. This 275 unit project with developer Mill Creek Residential is expected to be completed by Spring 2017. Click the link below to watch the progress of this project.
