Tofel Dent Construction

Our team had the wonderful idea of pulling together an impromptu Oktoberfest-themed luncheon on Monday, October 28th at our Tucson office. Dave and Brian took the helm and grilled up the brats while various team members provided side dishes, including: German chocolate cake, homemade salsa, potato salad, rice pudding, and much more. It was a very successful luncheon with plenty of happy faces and delicious food to enjoy. Our team works incredibly hard, but we really pride ourselves on taking an opportunity to slow down and enjoy ourselves so we can refresh and come back to our projects with a renewed sense of energy and drive. And free food – who doesn’t like that? This is one of the busiest times of the year, with all the holidays coming up. So it’s a good opportunity to express our gratitude for our team and remember the people behind the projects we’re building together – outside of email or from behind a screen. Thank you to the Development team for workshopping this event and for bringing this together for the team. 

The Tofel Dent team recently attended and supported the Foundation for Senior Living (FSL) 50th Anniversary Celebration luncheon as a Rose Gold Level sponsor on Tuesday, October 22, in Phoenix, Arizona, at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel. This event welcomed over 500 attendees, including 8 Tofel Dent employees and our VP of Development, Jim Tofel. Tamara Bohannon, CFRE, President and CEO of FSL, shared her thoughts: “We are excited to share this monumental milestone with our community. I am so encouraged by the support and dedication we saw at the luncheon. I know that together, we all can play a role in raising awareness of the issues facing our aging community.” FSL was established in 1974 and is dedicated to providing integrated care for those in need in the Phoenix area. Their home and community-based services include affordable housing options, nutritious meal programs, health and wellness initiatives, senior centers, and much more.

We are proud to have partnered with FSL on The Marist, a senior-living affordable housing community in Tucson. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to creating quality, accessible housing for seniors. Together, we’re building spaces that empower residents to live comfortably and with dignity. Thank you, FSL, for your partnership in bringing this important project to life! This 2018 project consisted of two complexes for affordable, senior living: the demolition of an existing building; new construction of a 7-story, 75-unit complex; and the historic rehab of 8 units in another complex.

The Tofel Dent team recently attended the 55th Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. (CPLC) Anniversary Celebration on Friday, October 4th. The event was held at the beautiful venue Warehouse 215 in Downtown Phoenix. Several members of our organization were in attendance for this milestone celebration. The sense of community, connection, partnership, and festivity reverberated throughout the event. The event’s vision, “Desde La Raíz” or “From the Root,” underscored how important it is to serve and support our diverse communities. Alicia Nunez, President and CEO of CPLC, delivered a powerful speech about the history of CPLC, emphasizing the strength of unity in building momentum to preserve and empower our communities. Tofel Dent Construction is currently partnering with CPLC on the project, Residences on Main in Mesa, Arizona. Residences on Main is a 198-apartment multifamily, mixed-use project, developed by Chicanos Por La Causa. The site is positioned at the gateway to downtown Mesa and encourages foot traffic by creating a desert pocket park and a landscape promenade. It has an on-site bus stop and is adjacent to a light rail station, drawing visitors to the project’s ground-floor retail spaces. This project design provides opportunities for pedestrians, bicyclists, bus riders, light rail passengers, and motorists to enjoy the site’s amenities simultaneously while connecting to the existing retail development on Main Street. We are proud to be part of CPLC’s legacy and future presence throughout Arizona. Tofel Dent is proud to partner with so many impactful organizations throughout the Desert Southwest. Congratulations Chicanos Por La Causa: we look forward to seeing many more abundant years of success for your organization.

Development News: Desert Dove Apartments Groundbreaking We're taking a moment to extend a huge congratulations to the Desert Dove Apartments project team for a successful groundbreaking event this morning in Tucson, Arizona. This event featured speeches from various partners and community leaders, including: Kristopher Ortega of GHK Arizona, Chairman of the San Xavier District (Tohono O'odham Nation) Austin Nunez, Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) Rental Programs Administrator Melanie Brewer, Arizona State Representative Betty Villegas, Tucson Council Member Lane Santa Cruz, representatives from Desert Dove Church, and others. A special shoutout to the project architect: Perlman Architects of Arizona. Desert Dove Apartments is one of the first Arizona YIGBY (Yes to God's Backyard) projects and is utilizing a vacant lot on Desert Dove Christian Church to create an affordable housing community. The project will include 63 units, 4 buildings, 2-story walk-ups. A common space will include a walk-in freezer for the church to utilize for their food distribution efforts. The church supports a monthly food distribution event in conjunction with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to deliver essential pantry staples to the community surrounding Grijalva Elementary. This enhancement to their campus is a positive step for combating food insecurity within the neighborhood. We had a strong presence with many Tofel Dent employees in attendance. Thank you all for your part in supporting affordable housing throughout Arizona! #TofelDentConstruction #TucsonContractor #BuildingTheSouthwest #GeneralContractor #ConstructionAnniversary #SouthwestBuilders #CommunityBuilding #affordablehousing #development #construction #ArizonaGeneralContractors #ConstructionNews #CommunityDevelopment #YIGBY #HousingForAll #SanXavierDistrict #DesertDoveApartments #BuildingArizona #ConstructionInnovation #ArizonaHousingSolutions #ADOH
