Half-Century Of Building Excellence For Huff Construction By: Fernando Arteaga - Marketing Manager
H
uff Construction Company, Inc. is celebrating 50 years of “Building Excellence!” As we celebrate our golden anniversary, we can now do so with a breath of fresh air as lockdowns, masks, and restrictions have subsided across the region. While the pandemic might not be officially over, we are fortunate to be safe and healthy today and to have overcome the giant hurdles that the COVID-19 pandemic threw our way. Over the last year, Huff Construction has completed several projects in our region such as the Avena Bella Affordable Housing Community II in Turlock, Starbucks in Modesto, Rapid Xpress Carwash in Atwater, St. Mary’s Family Life Center in Oakdale, and more. The Avena Bella II project was built from the ground up in about 13 months during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This new community brings 61 units of affordable family housing in two Mediterranean-style buildings. The apartments are a mix of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units clustered around a common recreation area and a playground. Community features include common interior spaces, laundry rooms, enclosed bicycle storage, and a barbecue/picnic area. Solar panels and a solar thermal water heating system were installed to reduce the property’s carbon footprint and to achieve LEED Gold certification.
We broke ground for Archway Commons II on June 30 alongside the City of Modesto, our client EAH Housing, California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, and our community members.
Archways Commons II will consist of two-story gardenstyle apartment buildings that will provide 74 new affordable housing units as 1-, 2-, and 3- bedroom apartments. Huff Construction built the initial phase of Archway Commons back in 2014 and we are excited to complete the final phase of the community here in our hometown of Modesto. Along with the exciting projects Huff Construction is building in the Central Valley, we have several large projects under construction in the San Francisco Bay Area including a 175-room Element Hotel and we are building beautiful residences and commercial buildings in Truckee, CA. We are so proud and grateful for everything we have accomplished over the last 50 years. As we look to the future of Huff Construction, we look forward to seeing what the next fifty years have for us in our ongoing pursuit of “Building Excellence.” For more information on Huff Construction, please visit our website at www. huffcon.com and follow us on social media.
