Pinkard Construction Co. Completes ONE Riverfront in Riverfront Park
Denver, CO - Pinkard Construction Company and 42/40 Architecture have just competed the $22.4 million ONE Riverfront Park condominium project for East West Partners - Denver.
ONE Riverfront consists of a seven-story cast-in-place structure with post tensioned slabs and seven street-front, four-level townhomes including a below-grade parking garage. The project totalled 127,391 gsf with 43 loft residences in the seven-story mid-rise structure and seven steel-framed townhomes facing the street front. The mid-rise structure's exterior consists of exposed architectural concrete, floor-to-ceiling aluminum-clad wood windows with composite metal panels, and Norman brick veneer. High end interior finishes include solid quartz stone counter tops, Italian porcelain tile and European cabinetry. Large portions of the residential interior feature exposed concrete ceilings and structural columns.
The 50 units had infinitely variable unit customization options including five different countertop colors, seven cabinet colors, two wood floors, four carpets, and appliance, lighting, audio, and cabinetry upgrades. The unit customizations and design modifications resulted in over 400 RFI's and 170 change orders. Concrete pours for the structure required over five months in the schedule. Highlights of the concrete work included:
. The seven-story tower features AgiliaŽ concrete exterior, exposed shear walls with symetrical reveal strips and tie holes. The very low-viscosity, highly temperamental self-compacting AgiliaŽ concrete had tremendous head pressure requiring special forming and safety precautions. Setting and aligning the reveal strips and tie holes was a labor intensive process requiring strict quality control and oversite.
. The backside of the townhomes have 100', curved, segmented, architectural shear walls with the same reveal strips and tie holes.
. Landscaping placed over the underground parking garage demanded that some of the deck pours were four feet thick.
Pinkard constructed the foundation and garage for the neighboring Park at ONE Riverfront at the same time as ONE Riverfront foundations. As a part of the MEP prep for Park at ONE Riverfront, a six inch PVC sleeve was inserted into the four foot thick concrete beam forms, which required complicated bracing and reinforcement to handle the stresses of the pour.
