Trailhead is officially welcoming students home at the University of Utah!

Together with the The University of Utah, American Campus Communities, and MHTN Architects, Inc., the team helped bring this new student housing community to life. The six-story, nearly 350,000-square-foot Trailhead adds more than 1,400 beds to campus, along with spaces for climbing, gaming, dining, studying and gathering that support the University’s vision for a more vibrant residential campus experience.

We’re grateful to work alongside the project teams, trade partners, and everyone who helped build Trailhead into a place where generations of Utah students can live, learn, connect, and call home.

Recognition as a finalist for ENR's Southwest’s Project of the Year is a meaningful milestone for the Glendale Downtown Campus Reinvestment Project!

The team took the original six-story City Hall structure, built in 1984, down to its foundation, floor slabs, and steel frame before rebuilding it for the next generation. Along the way, more than 16,000 square feet were added to City Hall’s footprint, alongside new elevators, stair towers, building systems, public-facing spaces, and a completely renewed exterior.

Recognition like this reflects the collaboration and problem-solving that brought the project to life. Congratulations to the City of Glendale, Holly Street Studio, Light Vox and trade partners, and everyone who helped prepare this civic landmark for its next generation.

Travel + Leisure Co. has named The Global Ambassador Hotel Arizona’s best hotel, recognizing its European charm and luxurious views.

Built with intention, every detail of Global Ambassador was carefully coordinated to bring a bold vision to life. From imported materials sourced from Italy and Morocco to hand-painted architectural finishes and Arizona's largest rooftop restaurant and bar, the project reflects an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and coordination.

Thank you to Sam Fox, Common Bond, design partners, trade partners, and every craft professional whose work helped bring this one-of-a-kind destination to life!

Building strong communities extends beyond the jobsite. This summer, our Arizona interns put that commitment into action by volunteering at St. Mary's Food Bank, where they helped pack more than 2,000 emergency food boxes for families in need!

Through hands-on project experience and opportunities to give back, they've continued to grow both personally and professionally.

We're grateful to have a talented and engaged group who are striving to make a positive impact on our projects and in the communities they serve!

Another ribbon cut. Another place for Boise to gather!

We joined SERA Architects, city leaders, and community partners to celebrate the opening of the AC Hotels by Marriott & Element in Downtown Boise.

It features 271 guest rooms, an integrated parking structure, a fifth-floor amenity deck with a pool and fitness center, and a rooftop bar, kitchen, and banquet space overlooking the city.

83 days until kick-off, and our team is hard at work inside State Farm Stadium!

We’re back this summer entering Phase 1 of the Cardinals Club Lofts project. These club suites will create more premium seating for the Cardinals organization as they continue to improve the fan experience.

We’re grateful to support another project at State Farm Stadium for the Arizona Cardinals Football Club as we help prepare the venue for the upcoming season.

Go Cards!

At Okland, family has always been part of the story, and for the Lewallens, that story spans three generations.

Three generations of family working side by side in the field, carrying forward the values that have shaped Okland for generations: hard work, trust, craftsmanship, and care for the people around them.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate the fathers and father figures of Okland whose leadership, dedication, and example have helped shape not only our projects, but the people who build them. Thank you for the knowledge you pass on, the standard you set, and the legacy you continue to build every day.

Happy Father’s Day!
