Over the past 20 years, Adolfson & Peterson Construction has focused on sustainable and LEED certified projects across the Southwestern US. The company aims to cultivate client loyalty, create a safe workplace, reward innovation, positively impact communities, build strong teams, and create long-term business value. Adolfson & Peterson defines sustainability broadly as meeting current needs while minimizing environmental impact for future generations.

2. o u r v isio n our vision
Over the past twenty years, Adolfson & Peterson Construction (A&P) has been committed to building
sustainable projects throughout the Southwestern United States. We have been one of the industry leaders
in building Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified projects and high performance
green buildings. As we evolve as an industry and as an organization, so does the way we conduct business.
Our mission is simple but steadfast; to outperform the industry in all that we do by -
• Cultivating client loyalty
• Nurturing a safe, collaborative workplace
• Creating a culture that rewards performance and innovation
• Having a positive impact on the communities in which we work
• Building high performing teams
• Creating a sustainable business that increases the value of our company for our employees,
clients and the local communities in which we operate
Our goal is to be a sustainable business -- doing that requires we redefine the term sustainable. Going
beyond green building, we take into account the purpose of the projects we undertake, the communities
impacted by our operations and our own business practices.
We take pride in the fact that we were awarded Ranking Arizona’s #1 Green Builder, are one of AZ Business
Magazine’s Most Admired Companies, and have been ranked among the Phoenix Business Journal’s Best
Place’s to Work for the last five consecutive years. We understand to be a truly sustainable organization
-- it’s more than what we do, it’s who we are.

Vice President | Southwest

3. sustainable def.
A sustainable project does not necessarily follow a certification or rating system. At A&P, we define sustainable
in terms of building components that reduce life cycle costs, the end goal of projects themselves, our own
business practices and our impact on the local community. To us, sustainable is simply - using resources to meet
current needs, while lessening the impact on the environment for future generations. This can be a state-of-the-art
LEED Platinum facility or a neighborhood revitalization project.
As one of the nation’s leading green builders, Adolfson & Peterson Construction has over 130 LEED accredited
professionals on staff and 40 LEED certified or registered projects of various levels completed or underway.
While we are experts in green building -- sustainable is much more than building green. It defines our
business practices with a LEED Gold office building, hybrid vehicles in the fleet, in-house carbon footprint
reduction programs, and job site recycling on all sites, among other initiatives. The term sustainable truly
resonates throughout our organization as an underlying principle in all we do.
It even defines the markets in which we excel at delivering projects...

M atthew H enson HOPE VI
Phoenix, Arizona
The Matthew Henson HOPE VI development (Henson Village)
exemplifies our desire to build sustainable communities. The
development, now home to nearly 600 families, was a mixed-
financed neighborhood revitalization project using a federal
HOPE VI grant program, private equity raised from low-
income housing tax-credits and a FHA insured mortgage
to revitalize a former public housing site in the Matthew
Henson neighborhood of Central Phoenix.
Matthew Henson Apartments, Senior Living at Matthew
Henson, the Vernell Coleman Youth Center, and the
Community Training & Education Center comprise the
new Henson Village. The development is a mixed-income
community with housing available to families of various
incomes (public housing, tax credit and market-rate). The
new mix of housing types includes single-family detached
homes, multi-family garden apartments, duplex townhouses
and a senior complex. Various green building features
have been integrated into the community providing great
environmental, economic, and social benefits.
u rb an re n ewa l
During construction, A&P exceeded all MBE / WBE and
Section 3 utilization goals on the project (with up to 40% of
the workforce at times being from within the community).
A&P also contributed to the surrounding community by
participating in the Rebuilding Together event, supporting
the local Valley Christian Center and Boys & Girls Club, and
with donations to the new youth center.

Site logistics demanded careful planning for every
element on the 462,000 square foot, 28-story
mixed-use project. The building has 11 acres under
roof, sits on just one acre of land surrounded by
some of the busiest streets in Minneapolis and was
built in less than 20 months. This neighborhood
revitalization project brings a park-like setting
to a downtown urban environment with its large
outdoor green roof area on the 6th floor. The
project team also coordinated customized finish
upgrades for each of the 250 residential units.

Landing was a pioneering project in the redevelopment of
Tacoma’s downtown waterfront. A partnership at both the
project and community level was critical to the successful
completion.

Phoenix, Arizona
The Symphony is a new HOPE VI grant funded neighborhood
revitalization project at the Krohn West public housing site.
The project included the demolition of 76 existing units and
the construction of a single phase, 83-unit mixed-income, mixed
finance rental housing development. The project also included
extensive site development. The key goals of HOPE VI projects are
to reconstruct public housing units and help revitalize surrounding
communities by creating a mixed-income development. This effort
includes constructing a high quality housing community with
related amenities; developing job linkages, training and educational
opportunities for area residents; and creating incentives for public
and private partnerships to invest in the area.

H oltze M agnolia
Dallas, Texas
The Holtze Magnolia is an award-winning adaptive reuse project that transformed
a 1930’s Mobil Oil Corporation office building into an executive extended-stay
hotel. The building is considered a historical landmark for the City of Dallas, so to
meet requirements for preserving the building’s historical significance, A&P worked
closely with the Dallas Historical Society throughout the duration of the project.
The 31-story, 300,000 square foot first-class hotel has 200 guest rooms and 130
extended-stay suites. The project included a new three-story atrium, new elevators,
preservation of the existing elevator lobby, and new hotel entrance with a pre-cast
stone exterior to match the original building.

10. u rb a n re n ewa l brownfield redevelopment
R iver P oint at S heridan
Sheridan, Colorado
Collaboration was key on this large-scale brownfield
redevelopment. The first phase of River Point at Sheridan
consisted of over 125 acres of site work, including
demolition and clearing of a closed landfill and importing
fill. It also included reconfiguring the municipal golf course,
constructing traffic and pedestrian bridges over the
South Platte River, improvements to a U.S. Highway and a
Colorado State Highway, relocating the national bike trail
along the South Platte River, and coordination of work with
Qwest, Excel Energy, the EPA, two local cities, local fire and
emergency departments, and the State of Colorado. Later
phases included construction of core and shell, and build-
outs of majors and inline retail buildings.

T empe M arketplace
Tempe, Arizona
From the largest brownfield cleanup in state history to a 1.3
million square foot lifestyle retail center, Tempe Marketplace
dramatically changed the face of the Loop 101 and Loop 202
intersection. The center brought over 20 million shoppers
in its first year and created over 4,500 jobs for the local
community. A&P was responsible for over 400,000 square
feet of core and shell in-line majors and several full build-
outs at the retail redevelopment (including the new Target
Store). Tempe Marketplace completely transformed the local
area from a dangerous, harmful parcel of land into one of
the most spectacular lifestyle retail centers in the nation.

11. commercial redevelopment
T arget T ucson N orth
Tucson, Arizona
The new Super Target in north Tucson presented a unique opportunity to
utilize the existing strip center (to be demolished) for emergency training.
In partnership with Target, A&P invited fire personnel from the surrounding
community to perform training for a big box emergency at the vacated Target
store. A&P prepared the building for training and provided lunch for over 200
fire personnel as they conducted practice drills over a two day period.
A&P has completed over 100 projects for Target Corporation to date from
ground-up new stores to complex renovations of operational stores. The
Tucson North location presented a number of challenges, including a
condensed schedule and other retailers in close proximity remaining open
during construction. The team delivered the new 225,000 square foot Super
Target in less than half the time a typical Super Target takes to complete.

“This practice provided our personnel a
better perspective on how to handle a big box
emergency. I thank you for your generosity not
only to the Tucson Fire Department, but to the
entire Tucson community.”

T he D omain at T empe
Tempe, Arizona
The Domain at Tempe (formerly Campus Suites on the Rail)
is an ideal case study for illustrating thoughtful design within
the Tempe Transit Overlay District (T.O.D.). The project
fronts the new light rail line and embodies the spirit of transit
motion. As one of the early pioneers of redevelopment in
the Apache Boulevard area, the team was challenged with
a site occupied by three separate mobile home parks. The
team worked with residents to relocate them and then
managed the abatement of harmful materials on site. The
team also faced challenges with existing infrastructure and
neighbors in close proximity during construction.
The team overcame the challenges and the result is a 731,400
square foot private student housing development that
contains 299 residential units and a total of 964 bedrooms
in close proximity to Arizona State University. The Domain
brings resort-style amenities to student living with three
swimming pools (lap-pool, jacuzzi and large splash pool), a
10,000 square foot clubhouse incorporating a 4,000 square
foot gym with private TVs, game room, tanning salons and a
rooftop social deck. All units are fully-furnished and include
the latest in technology and contemporary appliances. A
detached five-story, above-ground parking garage provides
1,000 parking stalls. The development also features 14,000
square feet of ground floor retail fronting the light rail. In
addition to innovative building elements, the project itself
is a significant contribution to the surrounding area and a
perfect example of sustainable, transit-oriented community
redevelopment.

Apache ASL Trails Apartments is one of the most premier
communities for deaf seniors in the nation (already attracting
applicants from 19 other states). Situated along the light rail line,
the 75-unit tax-credit transit-oriented housing project created
a barrier-free community for deaf seniors. The development
incorporates state-of-the-art technology for its deaf residents
and the operating staff all use American Sign Language (ASL).
In addition to the primary design team of WSM Architects, Inc.,
the owner has retained a deaf architect to ensure lighting and
other elements that the deaf have a heightened sense to are
incorporated and positioned accurately.

MacArthur Park Metro is a mixed-use transit-oriented development
compromising affordable housing and retail. Situated directly
atop the Metro station in Westlake, the most densely populated
neighborhood in Los Angeles, adjacent to the most significant public
park in the city, the unique site challenges provide the opportunity
to create a vibrant new component of downtown Los Angeles. Phase
I of the tax-credit project consists of 90-units of wood framed
housing built over massive grade beams spanning the subway tunnel.
It also incorporates approximately 13,000 square feet of first floor
retail space adjacent to the main street, and approximately 3,000
square feet of office space. The first phase of the project is schedule

of 65 urban style apartments at the Campbell & Central light rail
station. The transit-oriented project was developed as a live and
work project for people of different incomes. The sustainable
affordable housing development is also aiming for LEED Platinum
certification (making it one of the most sustainable housing
communities in the State). The project was recently honored by
the Arizona Department of Housing as an Outstanding Housing
Initiative for its energy efficiency and high density design.

community room, transit operations center, and
leasable office space. The project is targeted for LEED
Platinum certification and is designed to communicate

a variety of sustainable strategies to the various people
who use the facility. Many of the exterior materials
were selected to enhance efficiency, such as the fluted
masonry and metal paneling systems that provide both
shading and heat deflection. The building also has a
central plant HVAC system with under floor ducting
on the second and third floors. This is one of the most
efficient systems to cool and heat a building while
providing individual comfort to the occupants. The
City also elected to include a first-of-a-kind Sonoran
desert roof which reduces “heat island” effects.

At the local level, we contribute to numerous
charitable organizations and support project-specific
causes (like donating labor and time to paint the
Valley Christian Center near the Matthew Henson
neighborhood revitalization project). Beyond the 10%
pre-tax profit contributions at the corporate level, A&P
