High Line Pointe Apartments earn LEED Silver

The High Line Pointe Apartments in Denver, Colo. have been awarded LEED Silver for its sustainability initiatives - including air tests, efficient windows, low-energy appliances and energy and waste saving measures.

The 345,000-SF multifamily complex features two, seven-story multifamily buildings and a clubhouse, which holds the leasing office, fitness rooms and a meeting space.

During construction, Crossland Construction took over the HUD apartment project following the exit of the original general contractor and quickly rose to the challenge of assembling a budget, fast-tracking the schedule and conducting a full-contract scope review. 

Each apartment building includes 95 units with two underground parking levels and surface visitor parking. Amenities include massage, fitness and yoga rooms; jogging and bike trails and outdoor tables and grills.

“This complex spans a county line, so we had the unique challenge of working with two fire departments, different inspection departments and various subcontractors. We were able to self-perform finish carpentry and onsite concrete, which allowed our project team to deliver one tenant building and the clubhouse ahead of schedule and the second building on time,” said Austin Blevins, senior project manager for Crossland.

Despite inclement Colorado weather and working with two county entities, Crossland delivered one tenant building and the clubhouse ahead of schedule and the second building on time.

“Multifamily buildings have unique considerations, and we learned a lot from this project in particular – from sound and noise compliance guidelines, fire ratings, air and cleanliness tests. We can now apply this knowledge to future projects,” Blevins said.

The project team includes Mikey Crossland, division manager; Austin Blevins, senior project manager; David Stevens, project engineer; Andrew Trudeau, superintendent: Ean Thomas, assistant superintendent and Daniel Martinez, field engineer
