Denver Fire Station #40 - Groundbreaking

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 20:38:04 GMT

Denver Fire Station #40 Groundbreaking

Mark Young Construction is proud to join the Denver Fire Department (DFD), Denver International Airport (DEN), and the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) in celebrating the groundbreaking of Denver Fire Station No. 40 , a critical new facility that will enhance emergency response times for the rapidly growing communities surrounding DEN and the busy Peña Boulevard corridor.

This station will serve neighborhoods including Green Valley Ranch, Montbello, and Gateway , offering quicker access to emergency services when every second counts. For the first time in Denver, the station will house Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities alongside fire and rescue services, expanding resources for both residents and travelers.

Located on a 5.48-acre site just north of 56th Avenue and east of Peña Boulevard, the three-bay station will house shifts for up to eight firefighters and support DEN’s commitment to safety for both airport operations and surrounding communities.

Mark Young Construction is honored to help bring this vital project to life, continuing our mission to build facilities that strengthen public safety and infrastructure across Colorado.

Longmont Museum Sunset Soiree

Longmont Museum Sunset Soiree

Mark Young Construction (MYC) was proud to sponsor and attended the Longmont Museum Sunset Soirée, a special evening dedicated to raising funds for the interior furnishings and enhancements that will bring the newly remodeled museum to life.

Currently under construction by MYC, the Longmont Museum Remodel and Expansion includes a revitalized lobby, upgraded galleries, new children’s discovery spaces, enhanced accessibility features, and modernized infrastructure. The Sunset Soirée brought the community together to support the next chapter of the museum—ensuring that when the construction dust settles, the interior spaces will be just as inspiring as the building itself.

For MYC, this project is about more than construction—it’s about supporting a beloved cultural hub that celebrates history, art, and education for generations to come.

MYC Completes New King Soopers Right in Our Neighborhood

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 19:44:24 GMT

King Soopers #154 Silverstone Marketplace - Frederick, CO

On May 21, 2025, Frederick celebrated the grand opening of its very first King Soopers—right in our own backyard. At 123,000 SF, this $33.6M Marketplace is now the largest grocery anchor in Carbon Valley, bringing neighbors access to fresh foods, Murray’s Cheese Shop, sushi, Starbucks, a drive-thru pharmacy, and a fuel center all under one roof.

Beyond groceries, the project is a milestone for Frederick’s growth, creating nearly 300 new jobs and anchoring the Silverstone Marketplace as the community’s go-to destination for shopping, dining, and services. We’re especially proud that our MYC team helped bring this vision to life, contributing not only to the King Soopers itself but also to the broader development that will soon welcome favorite spots like Five Guys, Cold Stone Creamery, Domino’s, and more.

For us, this project was more than construction—it was about building something lasting for our neighbors and helping shape the future of Frederick.

adebolt@markyoungconstruction.com (Angie DeBolt) — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 14:58:45 GMT

MYC began working on the Silverstone Marketplace project in Frederick in January 2024. We are working closely with Evergreen, who is developing roughly 61 acres of land at the northwest corner of Highway 52 and Colorado Boulevard. The development will be anchored by King Soopers #154, along with two multi-tenant retail buildings and eight outer lot retail pads. Current work includes a new collector street along the north side of the project, street improvements along Colorado Boulevard including a new roundabout, and widening along eastbound and westbound Highway 52. MYC also won the King Soopers new build and once the site is ready, we will work on the 123,000 SF building which will not only be the first grocery store in the Town of Frederick, but also the largest grocery store in the Carbon Valley, creating approximately 300 employment opportunities.

Boulder King Soopers Table Mesa

adebolt@markyoungconstruction.com (Angie DeBolt) — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 23:07:26 GMT

Table Mesa King Soopers Store #33 in Boulder has been in operation for more than 30 years and is a favorite location and regular stop for local high school students on break, longtime neighbors, and people on their way to camp or ski in the Colorado mountains. In March 2021, this King Soopers was the unfortunate victim of an attack by a gunman. During this shooting, ten people were killed, the self-checkout was all but destroyed, the front windows were blown out, and armored police units cut through the ceiling and rammed through the front. This was a nightmare experience for King Soopers employees and the Boulder community. The store needed significant repairs before reopening. King Soopers made the decision to completely renovate and remodel the store to create a different scenery for their hard-working staff and faithful customers so they would not be reminded of the incident every time they stepped through the front doors. The entryway, the Starbucks, the ceilings, and the flowers are all new, bringing much needed light and hope to this community.

MYC, as a longtime general contractor and partner with Kroger, was alerted to the situation and was later contracted to assist with the rejuvenation project. MYC was honored to be the selected contractor to renovate the 65,935 SF interior and expand the exterior of the store by 2,631 SF. The main focal point of the project was the demolition and expansion of the front façade and parking lot. The interior received new finishes throughout and the floral prep, produce area, deli prep, mezzanine offices, and front end were reconfigured. Existing shelving, fixtures, and refrigerated cases were replaced and/or relocated throughout the store. The existing ceiling on the sales floor was removed along with existing ductwork, and all existing sales floor lighting was upgraded to LED fixtures. The store received two new egress exits, both with accessible ramps on the exterior. A third ramp was added at the rear of the store for egress and dock delivery usage. The parking spaces, drive aisles, landscaping, lighting, etc. in the front parking lot were reconfigured. The existing parking lot received a mill and overlay. The existing concrete around the rear of the building was repaired as necessary. There were multiple structural challenges to overcome along the façade grid-line K, due to existing conditions. There were also supply chain issues that the construction team had to overcome. Overall, MYC delivered a successful completed $6M project that can now be a spotlight to the South Boulder Neighborhood hosting families, friends, and neighbors as they return to the town square.

On February 9 ^th , the store hosted a reopening ceremony beginning with a moment of silence for the ten people that were killed in the mass shooting. The ceremony was memorable, momentous, and brought on a flood of emotions. The program had a star-studded cast of King Soopers employees, first responders, wonderful speakers (including Governor Polis), and CU Boulder cheerleaders who lined up to welcome staff into their new home.

MYC wants to thank our partners including Kroger, the City of Boulder, Naos Design, and our talented subcontractors who put their hearts into this project with us. The MYC construction team on this project included the following outstanding employees. We thank them all for their dedication, hard work and commitment: Kenny Kendall, Arturo Cuevas Raya, Sergio Lujan Sr., Sergio Lujan Jr., Teodoro Godoy, Guillermo Rosales Suriano, Refrigeration; Danny Romero, Refrigeration; Jeffrey McCall, Mechanical Superintendent; Derek Ingham, Project Manager; Ryan Grunkemeyer, Superintendent; Lane McFarlin, Project Engineer; and Amanda Rivera, Project Coordinator.

May the names of the victims never be forgotten: Tralona Bartkowiak, Suzanne Fountain, Teri Leiker, Kevin Mahoney, Lynn Murray, Rikki Olds, Neven Stanisic, Denny Stong, Officer Eric Talley, and Jody Waters.

Tri-State Cheyenne Field Facility

adebolt@markyoungconstruction.com (Angie DeBolt) — Mon, 07 Feb 2022 21:33:37 GMT

MYC teamed with D2C Architects on this new 29,740 SF design-build facility for Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. The project, on a 20-acre site in Cheyenne, Wyoming includes private and open offices, workstations, training space, conference rooms, kitchen/breakroom, mechanics bay with overhead bridge crane, wash bay, equipment storage bays, bathrooms/showers, locker rooms, secure outdoor yard storage, perimeter access control, and a unique wind baffle feature utilizing wooden utility poles on a soil berm west of the building.

The Cheyenne Field Facility will serve the needs of Tri-State’s field operation personnel, providing secure equipment storage, equipment and mechanics bays large enough to store and work on 100’+ long mobile substations, tractor trailers, linemen vehicles, and a full vehicle wash bay. Additionally, training rooms, conference rooms, offices and a lab will provide Tri-State employees with space to further develop and refine their knowledge and expertise with regards to existing and new technologies, processes, and electrical generation and distribution.

Tri-State is a not-for-profit cooperative power supplier. They provide power to more than a million electricity consumers across nearly 200,000 square miles in Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and New Mexico. MYC values our partnership with Tri-State. Our relationship with them began in 2015, and since then have completed several projects including the Operations Generator Enclosure, NCMC Parking Lot Expansion and Landscape, and the Operations Center Parking Lot.

The construction team on this project included Derek Ingham, Project Manager; Aaron Phillips, Superintendent; Chris Whittle, Project Engineer; Max Myles, Project Engineer; and Layla Betts, Project Coordinator. Our outstanding concrete crews were led by Gumaro Pedroza and Rick Garcia. Kenny Kendall and Arturo Cuevas also contributed greatly throughout this project. MYC mobilized to this site in November 2020 and completed the project in February 2021. Our project team worked through many challenges and adverse weather conditions throughout this project. Thank you to the project team and the many employees for the hard work and dedication to this successful project.

Fundraising During a Pandemic

adebolt@markyoungconstruction.com (Angie DeBolt) — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 18:20:22 GMT

Fundraising at any time is a strenuous task that requires hours upon hours of preparation. Trying to raise funds for a non-profit group during this COVID pandemic required a tenacious spirit and strong-willed community to come together to make this a reality. Organizations that may be taking a dip still need to be willing to contribute, companies that need the support of the community themselves need to still allow donations, and individuals who may be struggling still need to bid on items to make an auction successful.

Mark Young Construction (MYC) usually holds an annual chili cook-off and silent auction to raise funds for the Denver Firefighters Charitable Foundation. The in-person event was scheduled for the weekend things started to get shut down. Like many companies, MYC needed to shift to this new normal and transitioned the in-person event to a website for an online auction this year.

During this unexpected and challenging time, we are happy to report some light at the end of the tunnel. Because of our amazing community and sponsors, we were still able to raise more than $10,000 for the charity in 2020. The funds will be used to aid children recovering from trauma of burn injuries (burn camp), support for medical burn care professionals, assistance to fire victims, and support for firefighters and their families.

That being said, some big thank yous are in order.

This fun event challenged cooks to create a chili that could win the favor of attendees and the guest judges. Everyone who attended voted for their favorite by placing a Lego piece in the chili cup of their choosing. The fire fighters were the guest judges and awarded first and second place, with the popular vote being the deciding factor for third place. The winners took home prizes for their hard work. There were 20 chili entries. First place was awarded to Dennis Wolfe from MYC for his Big Ass Elk chili, second place went to Garrett Burrell from MYC for his Chili Wailua, and third place went to Scott Marks from Horizon Reprographics for his Dragon’s Breath chili. There was also a creative chili name competition that attendees voted on and the winner was Pete Wybenga from Europtics for his chili named Hydrant Humper.

The event also showcased wonderful silent auction items to bid on from local companies. Attendees came from all backgrounds of the AEC community and had the opportunity to mingle and network. Kristen Tonsager from Clutch Design Studios said “I was impressed at the quantity of entries; from spicy green chili to traditional red chili – the spice and flavor did not disappoint! What a great event to benefit a great cause!”

MYC would like to thank everyone who participated and attended. Thanks to our amazing chili pot sponsors, the more than 75 attendees, and silent auction sponsors, we were able to hand over $5,417 to the Denver Fire Fighters representatives who were there for the Burn Foundation.
