Howell Construction joined
Behavorial Analyst Certification
Board, Project One Integrated
Services and Humphries Poli
Architects to kick off BACB’s
new headquarters in the Ken
Caryl Business Park.
The 24,000-square-foot build-
ing is being developed for the
nonprofit, which was estab-
lished to meet the professional
credentialing needs by behav-
ior analysts, governments and
consumers of behavior analysis
services.
The new building features a
70-kilowatt solar photovolta-
ic system that will be located
on the roof of the facility and
adjoining carport structures.
The three-story building, situ-
ated on a two-acre site, also will
include high-end finishes with
an exterior cladding a combina-
tion of interlocking copper sid-
ing, native Colorado red sand-
stone and extensive glass.
As a value-engineering strat-
egy, Howell suggested the
design be altered to incorporate
storefront systems in lieu of a
structural curtain wall system,
which yielded significant sav-
ings to the building owner, the
firm noted.
The first floor of BACB
includes a fitness center, locker
rooms, call center and reception
area. The second floor is dedi-
cated to office space, including
hard-wall offices with full-glass
fronts. The third floor consists
of additional offices and a large
training center with an oper-
able glass wall that opens onto a
rooftop terrace with views of the
Ken Caryl Valley Hogback and
surrounding foothills.
Completion is targeted for
July.

The new facility will be located in the Ken Caryl Business Park.
After three years of planning,
GH Phipps Construction Cos.
and Ascent Living Commu-
nities celebrated the ground-
breaking of The Village at Bel-
mar, a nine-acre senior-living
campus at 7825 W. Alameda
Ave. in Lakewood.
The walkable campus will
include 60 adult/independent
living residents in a quadplex
design with a private elevator
to the second-floor units, 72
assisted-living suites and 24
memory care suites.
In addition to the senior liv-
ing offerings, a 1.3-acre pad
along the West Alameda Ave-
nue frontage road is being
explored for compatible uses
for campus residents.
“Our core values encompass
stewardship, innovation, con-
tinuous improvement, a grass-
roots approach to operations
and becoming the envy of the
market,” said Phil Shapiro,
Ascent Living Communities
co-founder and principal, and
a 28-year veteran of the senior-
living field. “We aim to ensure
that our community designs
focus on safety, security, com-
fort and a commitment to
improving our residents’ qual-
ity of life.”
GH Phipps President Kurt
Klanderud said, “As both an
investor and general contractor
on this important project, we
are excited about the role that
The Village at Belmar will play
in the community. The con-
cept for this project is designed
to serve a growing sector of
our residents, with the ameni-
ties that they both want and
deserve.”
Denver-based Ascent is a
senior housing developer/
owner-operator whose prima-
ry geographic focus spans from
Denver to the West Coast.
“The Village at Belmar will
offer residents an incredible
variety of senior-living envi-
ronments combined with an
emphasis on outdoor land-
scaped recreation and social
interaction, all situated in a
stellar location that offers an
abundance of shopping and
healthcare services,” Shapiro
said of the 190,000-square-foot
project. “This is a rare combi-
nation in the greater Denver
metropolitan market.”
In addition, Blue Moon Cap-
ital Partners LLC, a leading
senior housing private equity
investor, is playing a major role
in the ground-up development
along with Phipps and Ascent.
