2017 revenue: $225 million E

A strong infrastructure market nationwide and a large local contract pushed 2017 revenue up at SAK Construction, CIO Jim Kalishman said.

In August, O’Fallon, Mo.-based SAK Construction was awarded a $147.7 million contract from the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District for the Deer Creek Tunnel project. That project, part of MSD’s $4.7 billion Project Clear initiative, includes replacing a sanitary tunnel from Clayton to Shrewsbury.

2017 revenue: $484.5 million

+17.6%

CRG, the private real estate development arm of Clayco, more than doubled the square feet it had under development in 2017 leading to a 17.6 percent spike in revenue to $484.5 million.

Thanks in large part to e-commerce, CRG began the year with almost 8 million square feet under development and closed 18 development deals totaling 8.5 million square feet. It also ended the year with five deals in the process of closing, the company said.

The Denver parks department signed off Wednesday on a controversial land swap with a developer that will affect the placement of a long-discussed pocket park.

If the deal is approved by the City Council this summer, developer HM Capital would give the city about $650,000 for the design and construction of a city park on a roughly 0.35-acre parcel HM owns on Fairfax Street, south of East 29th Avenue.

In exchange, Denver Parks and Recreation would transfer a city-owned property of similar size across the street — bought with intentions of building a park — to HM for potential redevelopment.

Milan Hejduk and his family will remain Colorado residents, but the former Avalanche forward who had his No. 23 sweater retired by the club in January has listed his 16,700 square-foot mansion in Parker for a cool $5.2 million.

That price includes a full-sized hockey rink and a Zamboni — key elements in the elite-level development of Hejduk’s twin sons, Marek and David. The 14-year-olds might begin their junior careers as early as age 16, which would require them to play outside Colorado.

The boys recently finished their 14U season with the AAA Colorado Thunderbirds, a team coached by Hejduk and fellow former Avalanche Jan Hejda.

Hejduk and his wife Zlatuse became U.S. citizens in 2016 and have no plans of moving out of Colorado, where Milan has lived since joining the Avs in 1998.

“No, no. We’re just trying to take advantage of the market here (and) who knows what’s going to happen with the boys,” Hejduk said during the Denver Post’s hockey podcast “Traffic in Front of the Net” th..
