Fundraising During a Pandemic

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.

MYC is honored to have been selected as the CM/GC to work closely with the City and County of Denver and Oz Architecture for the new Denver Fire Station 40. The new fire station will be at 56th avenue and Telluride Street and will improve response times for this rapidly growing area. MYC was also selected as the CM/GC to rebuild Aurora Fire Station #9. We look forward to building a safer and more comfortable station for these deserving firefighters.

King Soopers held its grand opening for store #116 on January 25. The unveiling presented King Sooper’s 12th Marketplace store in Colorado, which sells clothes and home goods in addition to groceries. The new 124,000-square-foot store is located at 13525 Quebec St. in northeast Thornton. It includes Murray's cheese shop, sushi station, Starbucks, pharmacy, and a selection of home and lifestyle merchandise like apparel, dinnerware, and small appliances. The project included a King Soopers gas station. The new store employs 250 people and includes an indoor mural by local artist Tom Ward.

MYC broke ground on the Boulder Fire Station #3 and Administration Building on November 10th. The new 28,370 SF, two-story fire station will include apparatus bays, bunk rooms, community room, decontamination areas, locker rooms, storage, kitchen, roof top garden, and administration areas with offices, conference rooms, breakrooms, and mixed-use work areas.

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.

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.

The City of Boulder selected MYC as their CM/GC partner to build their new $18M Boulder Fire Station 3 after an RFP and interview process. The proposed 28,000 SF, two-story fire station is on 1.86 acres and is expected to include apparatus bays, bunk rooms, community room, decontamination areas, locker rooms, storage, kitchen, roof top garden, and administration areas with offices, conference rooms, breakrooms, and mixed-use work areas. MYC will be working collaboratively with the City of Boulder and Davis Partnership Architects to complete this project work for the deserving firefighters and the Boulder community.
