Foothills Commercial Build-
ers Inc. is working to complete
more than $2 million in proj-

ing will be housed in a former

feet), Loganhouse Coffee (2,672
sf), Sazza Pizza and Salads (3,172
sf), Juniper Pig (676 sf) andMaria
Empanada (355 sf).
The Stanley Marketplace will
feature more than 50 locally,
independently owned businesses
in one location, including res-
taurants, a beer garden, deli and
boutique grocery store.
“We are very excited to be part
of such an innovative project that
will really enhance the lives of
those living and working in the
surrounding neighborhoods,”
said Rocky Hollingsworth, presi-
dent and CEO of Foothills Com-
mercial Builders, which is cel-
ebrating its 30th anniversary.s
Freight Residences, a family
friendly housing development
on the mixed-use Taxi site in
River North, has been awarded
the 2016 Mayor’s Design Award.
Zeppelin Development recently
received the recognition in the
category of “Density by Design”
at an awards ceremony hostedby
Denver Mayor Michael B. Han-
cock and Brad Buchanan, execu-
tive director of Denver Commu-
nity Planning and Development.
Designed by the award-win-
ning Dynia Architects, Freight
Residences is a first-of-its-kind
housing model with a focus on
accommodating families in the
urban neighborhoods of Denver.
Barker Rinker Seacat is the archi-
tect of record on the project.
Freight Residences is a 48-unit
apartment community that was
completed in early 2016. Buck-
ing the recent trend of weight-
ing urban apartment develop-
ments toward one-bedroom and
studio units, Freight Residences
features one-, three- and four-
bedroom floor plans specifically
designed with families’ needs in
mind. Each unit has an oper-
able glass garage door that opens
the living spaces up to gardens,
patios and scenic views, while
providing natural ventilation
and functional day-lit interiors.
On the ground floor, the lobby
serves as a multipurpose game,
entertainment and educational
facility. Native landscaping and
integrated storm water features
flank the site. Additional site
amenities include Taxi’s signa-
ture shipping container pool, a
dog park, community garden,
early childhood education cen-
ter, a café and more.
In addition to the Mayor’s
Design Award, Freight Resi-
Adolfson & Peterson Con-
struction recently completed
Front Range Community
College’s LEED Silver certi-
fied Mount Antero building,
designed by OZ Architecture.
It is the main welcome center
for the FRCC Larimer Campus
in Fort Collins.
Along with 37,000-square-
foot additions at the north and
south wings of the existing
building, AP also remodeled
the center of the building and
added a two-story atrium by
opening up the roof.
The Mount Antero build-
ing houses human resources,
administration, college leader-
ship, financial aid, office of the
registrar, admission and out-
reach and many other services.
Construction on these facili-
ties occurred on an active,
occupied campus. Mount
Antero was the fourth phase
of a $28 million campuswide
construction and renovation
project of adding classrooms,
expanding student-oriented
space, supporting the instruc-
tional needs of faculty and
students and providing addi-
tional parking.
AP has completed all four
phases of this project and has
touched multiple buildings,
including Mount Antero, Blan-
ca Peak, Maroon Peak, Little
Bear Peak, Red Cloud Peak
and the southwest parking lot.
Also, Adolfson & Peterson
Construction, along with OZ
Architecture, Lake Dillon The-
ater Co. and the town of Silver-
thorne celebrated the topping
out of a new performing arts
theater last month. The the-
ater is located adjacent to the
Silverthorne Pavilion on Blue
River Parkway, along High-
way 9.
This partnership between the
town of Silverthorne and the
Lake Dillon Theater Co. will
house all theater operations,
including offices, classrooms,
and performance and rehears-
al spaces. The Lake Dillon
Theater Co. is a professional
theater company that provides
unique, accessible perform-
ing art experiences in a “black
box” environment. The new
16,000-sf theater will allow for
greater programming and per-
forming arts education. The
structure will feature a 130-
seat black box theater, as well
as a secondary performance
space, two classrooms and a
lobby for public use.
The tradition of topping
out a building is a milestone
event for the construction of
the building, signifying the
top-most point of the structure
has been reached. Everyone
involved in the project signed
the walls of the black-box the-
ater, representing the collab-
orative effort the project takes.
“The fantastic part of this
project is its design for flexibil-
ity,” said AP Senior Vice Presi-
dent Tom Horsting. “With
multiple uses, it will be a great
addition to Silverthorne.”
The design-build team will
be finishing construction of the
$8million facility inMarch. The
project team planned construc-
tion around the challenges of
winter weather and mountain
construction with a strict safe-
ty plan. Part of the project’s
approach took into account the
town’s scheduled community
events and activities. The next-
door Silverthorne Pavilion is a
popular wedding and recep-
tion venue; the team ensured
public safety was a priority
and events were not hindered
by the construction.s

Johnson Nathan Strohe, a Den-
ver-basedarchitectureand interior
design firm specializing in hospi-
tality, urban housing and mixed-
use projects, recently completed
work on the 122,000-square-foot
Halcyon, a hotel in Cherry Creek,
located at 245 N. Columbine St.
Johnson Nathan Strohe served as
the project’s firm of record, act-
ing as the project manager and
overseeing all aspects of both the
interior and exterior design.
“In managing this design pro-
cess, it was important to us that
the hotel felt like it fit in the con-
text of its Cherry Creek North
neighborhood while still achiev-
ing a memorable look,” said Tobi-
as Strohe, AIA, LEED AP, partner
at Johnson Nathan Strohe. “Ulti-
mately, we arrived at a design that
feels a little like a wealthy friend’s
chic urban home.”
The new independent hotel
includes two ground-level restau-
rant spaces, a rooftop pool deck
with food and beverage service,
and two levels of subgrade valet
parking. Halcyon was completed
in collaboration with architecture
and design firms gkkworks, avro-
Ko and Skylab.
The clients were BMC Invest-
ments and Sage Hospitality.
Also, JNS recently completed
work on Confluence at Three
Springs, located at 150 Conflu-
enceAve., inDurango. The project
is Durango’s first new apartment
community of its kind in 30 years.
Johnson Nathan Strohe served as
architect on the project.
“We’ve worked on hundreds
of projects across Colorado, but
this stood out as a unique oppor-
tunity: to design Durango’s first
multifamily community of its
kind in 30 years,” said Jim John-
son, founding partner at Johnson
Nathan Strohe. “It was impor-
tant to us to honor the rich his-
tory and character of Durango in
our design. We wanted to create
something that feels like it belongs
in this community while also per-
haps sparking new growth for
the city.”
The four building, three-story
community took one year to con-
struct and includes 101 market-
rate apartments with one- and
two-bedroom open floor plans on
tree-lined streets, featuring open
spaces and fantastic views. JNS
partnered with Monroe & New-
ell Engineers, Design Workshop,
GLH Engineering and Russell
Planning & Engineering to com-
plete the project for GF Real Estate
Group.
“New, modern rental options
in the Durango area are hard to
come by,” added Kevin White,
project manager. “These units will
fill a growing demand and pro-
vide a great opportunity to expe-
rience life in the growing Three
Springs area.”s
