Riley is professional, honest, and has an excellent team behind him. Trust Riley with your next project and he will not disappoint. 

Harsh Parikh
President Santulan Architecture

We have worked with Riley on multiple projects ranging from commercial rehab, to new town homes, to multifamily rehab.  We find him to be ethical, open, & accessible, all of which are virtues that Riley himself lives by and inculcates in his company.  I have no hesitation in giving Riley an enthusiastic recommendation. 

Dear Riley,
I’m writing on behalf of our entire team to thank you for a job well done with the
construction effort at Pancratia Hall Lofts.

This $25,000,000 redevelopment has been an incredible challenge and opportunity for the
entire team. It was a very complex effort to convert a vacant classroom/dormitory building into
affordable housing, remediate significant asbestos and lead based paint conditions, add a floor
of apartments in the vacant attic, cut open below-grade exterior walls to add several patios and
window wells to lower level apartments, restore all the damaged exterior materials, and replace
the majority of windows in this historic landmark building.

In addition, the concurrent redevelopment of the 70 acre Loretto Heights campus surrounding
our site required intense coordination of new utilities, roads and miscellaneous site activities
with your work. Last but certainly not least, COVID requirements and material/labor
shortages over the past two years created additional challenges that continually tested the
team.

Throughout the entire construction effort, our ownership team was continually impressed with
your professionalism and “can do” attitude.

Thanks again for your incredible efforts to allow the successful completion of the Pancratia
Hall redevelopment, providing 74 units of deeply affordable housing for working families and
restoring this treasured historic landmark for the citizens of Denver. Our ownership team is
forever grateful foryour partnership on this project and the fabulous result of your teams
hard work.

Sincerely,
PANCRATIA HALL PARTNERS LLC

Dear Riley,

Thank you so much for your sponsorship for our Celebrating 25 Years: Imagine! Gala. Your sponsorship will support programming that helps the most vulnerable among us to stabilize their lives, find community, and connect with nature.

This year EarthLinks celebrates 25 years of supporting individuals with the experience of extreme poverty and homelessness. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has serious impacts on our programming throughout 2020 and 2021, we continued to support participants for the duration with food, assistance with rent payments and motel rooms, art supplies, and continued payment of Workshop stipends while we could not gather in person. Additionally, for 6 months during the pandemic EarthLinks managed a Safe Outdoor Space where unhoused individuals were able to shelter in a managed resource-rich tent encampment.

We are so grateful for the support we have received for the past 25 years. As we look towards the future we see the continued need to support folks on the margins, so we are investing in redeveloping our property to create permanent supportive housing for low-income residents. We truly appreciate your support in continuing to create a place where those experiencing homelessness can find help, comfort, fulfillment, and community.

Sincerely,

Kathleen M. Cronan

Executive Director

Dear Riley,

I am pleased to have the opportunity to write this letter. I have enjoyed knowing and working with you for several years and look forward to any opportunity I have to be able to work with you again.

Riley and his team stand out above even some of the other good contractors in the area in terms of their approach to their work. They are very competent in their estimating work, and detail-oriented in their construction management and general contracting work, which results in great client satisfaction. They also are friendly and fun to work with, and have the highest integrity in their business relationships.

Sincerely,

The Office of Studio NYL, Inc.
