Building Lightfighter Village: Leadership & Teamwork in Action

At Huff Construction, “The Huff Way” represents more than just a commitment to quality; it embodies a philosophy of growth, development, and unwavering dedication to every project we undertake. From cultivating talent within our ranks to mastering the intricacies of each build, our approach ensures that we deliver excellence every step of the way.

This commitment is personified by our leadership team, including President Brad Ardis, who has been an integral part of Huff Construction since 1993 and has served as President since 2006. Under Brad’s leadership, Huff Construction has not only expanded its portfolio but also solidified its reputation as a trusted partner in the industry, particularly in the realm of affordable housing.

A prime example of “The Huff Way” in action can be seen at the Lightfighter Village project in Marina, CA. This affordable housing development, currently under construction, is a testament to the expertise, leadership, and teamwork that define our company. Leading the charge on this project is Superintendent Will Huff, whose tenure with Huff Construction dates back to 1998. Will has been a key player in the successful completion of numerous projects, including three major affordable housing developments for our repeat client, EAH Housing: Avena Bella II in Turlock, Archway Commons II in Modesto, and now, Lightfighter Village.

Construction Update: Lightfighter Village, Marina, CA

The Lightfighter Village project is making significant progress as we move closer to completing this important affordable housing development. Currently, the team is wrapping up the installation of the building’s exterior finishes and site work. This phase has been particularly meticulous, ensuring that the building’s exterior not only meets aesthetic standards but also provides long-term durability against the coastal elements of Marina, CA.

Inside the buildings, we are progressing through the interior finishes, with drywall installation nearly complete in all units. The team is now focusing on painting, flooring, and cabinetry installation, which are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. These stages are critical as they bring the living spaces to life, ensuring that each unit is not only functional but also comfortable and welcoming for future residents.

Our crews have also been hard at work on the site’s infrastructure, with the installation of utilities and landscaping well underway. The community spaces, including the courtyard and playground area, are beginning to take shape, reflecting our commitment to creating not just housing, but a true community where residents can thrive.

Supporting Will on the Lightfighter Village project is Project Engineer Steel Rocha, who has quickly established himself as a vital member of our team, bringing fresh insights, technical expertise, and a strong work ethic to every project he touches. His role in the Lightfighter Village project exemplifies the collaborative spirit that “The Huff Way” fosters, ensuring that every team member, regardless of their tenure, contributes to the project’s success.

At Huff Construction, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. The dedication, skill, and passion that our team members bring to their work are what make “The Huff Way” not just a slogan, but a reality. Whether it’s through developing affordable housing that serves the community or executing complex commercial projects, our approach is rooted in a commitment to excellence that has been the cornerstone of our success since 1971.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain focused on what has always set us apart: our commitment to our clients, our communities, and each other. We take great pride in the impact our work has on the communities we serve, and the Lightfighter Village project is a shining example of that impact in action.

We invite you to follow our journey and see more of our team’s progress in building Lightfighter Village here.

Crane Erection and Concrete Pouring

Our construction site is buzzing with activity. The crane has been erected, marking the beginning of the vertical construction phase.

Miguel is not just overseeing the daily operations but is also meticulously planning each step to ensure quality and efficiency. His leadership in planning the crane installation and ensuring the concrete podium walls meet our rigorous standards exemplifies our commitment to excellence.

Overcoming Challenges

Construction is never without its challenges. Recently, we’ve faced adverse weather conditions that threatened to delay our progress. However, our team implemented effective water mitigation strategies, such as pumping out excess water and safely discharging it, ensuring our work continues unhindered. This proactive approach is part of our broader commitment to maintaining a safe and efficient work environment.

Current Progress

Currently, our team is focused on pouring concrete for the foundation’s footings and shotcrete for the foundation walls of the underground parking garage. This stage is crucial as it provides the necessary support for the future hotel’s structure. We take immense pride in our ability to maintain steady progress while adhering to our high standards of quality.

Stay Connected

As we continue to bring the Kimpton Hotel project to life, we invite you to stay connected with us for more updates.
