Privately held and debt free, Catamount has experienced impressive growth by practicing a shared vision of providing quality work, on-time performance and superior service within a competitive and profitable price.  The emphasis placed on providing a high level of service is a significant factor in Catamount’s culture and approach to providing professional services that are unique to the construction industry.  This level of dedication has resulted in an 80%+ repeat client ratio for nine consecutive years, setting Catamount apart from their competitors.  Adherence to fundamental principles has earned this company the distinction of being ranked in Engineering News Record’s 2011 ‘Top 400 National Contractors’.

“We established Catamount in 1997 because we love what we do and aspire to do great things with our company,” said Geoff Wormer, Chief Executive Officer.  “In our short history the company has experienced significant growth, averaging $171 million construction volume for five consecutive years and generating $1 billion in sales in 15 years.  To realize this volume is a proud accomplishment and we attribute this success to the talent and commitment of our employees and subcontractors and the loyalty of our valued customers,” Wormer added.

Catamount thrives on repeat business with national clients such as Chase Bank, Taco Mac, CarMax Auto Superstores, Walgreens, The Rock Wood Fired Pizza & Spirits, LA Fitness, Furniture Row and Sam’s Club.  Surviving the financial crash of 2008 and continuing to flourish despite the lingering recession is also linked to the company’s ‘zero accidents’ safety record as well as their financial and bond strength.

Capitalizing on the high level of projects from both the government and multi-family markets has also provided significant growth opportunities.  “Activity within the government market has been our saving grace in 2010 and 2011 and we are quickly emerging as one of the largest multi-family builders in the State of Colorado.  We are currently constructing six multi-family projects within the Denver metropolitan area under both Catamount and CC Residential company brands,” Wormer concluded.

Catamount’s services include general contracting, construction management, sustainable construction, design-build, cost estimating, conceptual budgeting, scheduling and value engineering.  Markets served include multi-family, retail, energy, industrial, office, sustainable, hospitality, financial, faith-based, medical and government.

“We are excited to be working with Catamount to build our newest housing development for families in need in the Denver area,” said Jennifer Erixon, Mercy Housing Senior Vice President of Asset Management.  “Catamount has proven to be an excellent partner focused on creating a high quality product at a reasonable price, which has allowed us to enhance our development with additional green features,” Erixon concluded.

“It’s a privilege to be associated with Wazee’s genuine enthusiasm for superior design and creating lasting communities,” said Jeff Cochran, a Catamount Principal and Denver Division President.  “We’re pleased to be a member of their team and look forward to constructing a lasting facility that will be a noteworthy addition to the affordable senior housing community in Wheat Ridge,” Cochran added.

Wazee Partners, LLC, is a real estate development and investment company principally active in the development and acquisition/rehabilitation of multifamily, senior housing, retail and land properties throughout the mountain west. They are a direct buyer and developer of multifamily apartment properties located throughout the western United States.  The principals and affiliates have purchased and renovated over 600 units during the past five years with extensive knowledge and experience in the acquisition of both market rate and affordable multifamily properties.

ATLANTA, Georgia

As Director of Multi-Family and Hospitality, Rane has taken a leadership role from the day he started as a Cost Engineer and has proven himself of great value with regard to his impressive and vast knowledge of multi-family construction, preconstruction, estimating, operational oversight and sustainable construction.  His rapid rise within the company is testimony to his dedication to his craft which has led to his impressive success.  Rane is a LEED AP, a member of ULI and the Georgia Affordable Housing Coalition and has spoken on multiple panels on the topics of multi-family, sustainable and green construction to educate others on lessons learned.

Rane was a panel participant at the 2009 Georgia Affordable Housing Coalition Conference and the 2010 Green Prints conference in Atlanta, sponsored by Atlanta-based Southface Energy Institute.  In 2010, Catamount was the recipient of Southface Energy Institute’s “Multi-Family Builder of the Year” award.  This annual award recognizes exemplary performance related to “EarthCraft” construction means and methods.

The brainchild of Frank Schultz and his mother and step-father Terry and Al Papay, THG is a Denver-based, familyowned company.  The company’s growth and development is grounded in the ‘Tavern’ concept.  During their quest for an upscale neighborhood bar with great food, THG owners realized there was a market for such an
