Blue River Shop

This building was designed and constructed with a dual purpose: to serve as a secure storage facility for farm equipment while also featuring a south-facing roof optimized for a future solar installation. The planned solar array will fully offset the electrical consumption of the nearby residence, promoting sustainable energy use and reducing the home’s carbon […]

Limerick Lofts

Restoring the inefficiently designed 1970s apartment presented a number of challenges, particularly in navigating the layered history of the space. Working closely with KHRC, the City, and SHPO, we developed a thoughtful plan to reverse the unsympathetic 1970s alterations and restore the apartment to its original 1890s layout. This process required careful coordination to meet […]

124 Lofts

Located at a prominent intersection in downtown El Dorado, the former Masonic Hall building located at 124 S Main Street had long been vacant before going under contract with Frontier.

Cottonwood School Lofts

Constructed in 1904, this two story limestone building was closed in 2010 and had remained vacant. A local nonprofit group purchased the building with the intent of finding a suitable developer to restore the school. Frontier was selected through a competitive RFP process. Due to the rural location, Frontier led efforts to form an RHID […]

Located in a rural community, Frontier led the effort to place this building on the national and state registry to qualify for tax credits. Our team successfully navigated closing and secured financing during Covid-19. The […]

Spruce Apartments

Despite multiple alterations, Frontier was able to successfully list the building on the state registry and qualify the project for both MIH and KHITC awards. Additionally, the south parcel was replatted to allow for a […]

Frontier Corporate

The building was originally finished as first floor office/storage space with second level unfinished dry storage. After expanding the surface parking and adding additional curb cuts, Frontier rebuilt the second floor supports to allow for a full office finish out.

The Avalon

As one of Manhattan’s first single family to multi-family conversions (an effort to provide housing for soldiers in WWI), the Avalon had fallen into severe disrepair. Frontier secured the building two weeks prior to a tax sale. Located in a residential neighborhood close to downtown, we applied for and received zoning variances for unit and […]
