Construction began last week on White Construction Group's new two-story headquarters in Castle Rock. The $2.5 million,16,000-sq-ft building will house White Construction on the first floor and Folkestad & Fazekas PC on the second. It's scheduled for completion next fall.

White Construction Group broke ground Nov. 8 on its new 16,000-sq-ft, two-story headquarters building at 18 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock.

The $2.5 million project is scheduled for completion in fall 2005.

The new building will house White Construction Group on the first floor and the law firm of Folkestad & Fazekas PC on the second floor.

To accommodate the company's growth and in anticipation of White Construction Group's 20-year anniversary in 2005, company President Tim White decided it was time to build a new headquarters.

Colorado Springs-based Fennell Group is providing the architecture and design services with agency principal Jim Fennell heading the project.

The site of the new building is significant because it will serve as a gateway to Castle Rock, Fennell said. The new building and accompanying streetscaping will also allow the town of Castle Rock to extend a pedestrian-friendly corridor to the new Castle Rock library across the Wilcox Street Bridge.

The pedestrian environment created as part of White's new headquarters will emulate the same pedestrian-friendly attributes found on Castle Rock's historic main street, including sidewalks, lighting, landscaping and benches.

The new building will feature a more traditional look on its north side near main street's historic buildings, transitioning to a contemporary look with steel and glass on the south-facing side, complementing the adjacent Douglas County Public Library.

"To complement the current built environment in Castle Rock, we will use rhyolite stone accents on the exterior," White said. "Rhyolite - a locally quarried, soft volcanic stone indigenous to Colorado that features warm gray, amber and pink tones - is used extensively on Castle Rock's structures."
