With the 2019 construction season coming to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every employee and just as importantly, their families they leave each day to come to work. This industry is very demanding and without the continued support from the home, success for both the employee and the employer would not be possible.

Special congratulations to the following people who will be receiving their years of service recogni-tion with the Frattalone Team at the Holiday Party in January:

10 Years: Pat Botten, Taylor Frattalone, David Kaiser, Justin Timm

20 Years: Mike Ahlberg, Josh Dickhausesn, Kory Kunza, Paul Pearson, Merlin Stokes

Bren Road Senior and Family Housing, a 558-unit pro-

ject in Minnetonka allowed us to showcase our full

range of capabilities. This project kicked off with exca-

vation/retaining wall work in the winter of 2018-2019

followed by the demolition of a 65,000 square foot of-

fice building early in the spring. Later, after the rem-

nants of winter went away, the project hit high gear

with the full-on construction of three separate apart-

ment buildings and site amenities.

An unusual feature of the 9.4-acre site is that each

building requires completely different types of structur-

al foundations. One building is on conventional spread

footings, the second on pipe piling and the third on ag-

gregate piers. The compact site also features installation

of three different types of storm water containment and

filtration systems. Besides working through one of the

wettest year’s on record, the complexity of the project

has been a good challenge for our team. We strongly

appreciate the hard work and dedication our team has

shown on this project.

The project team has been led by Todd Olund and Tom Larson for the earthwork and demolition activities. The site utilities have been led by Pat Skelly and Charlie Jewett. The estimators were David Nelson and Erik Paulson, with Thomas Kinmounth as project manager.
