Building where it matters most
We build more than homes in Summit County. We lend our time, skills and resources to the organizations that make this mountain community stronger. For more than three decades, Rockridge has grown alongside Summit County. Giving back is part of how we honor that relationship. From creating spaces for essential services to building a racecourse through the Blue River, our team brings the same care, craft and problem-solving to every project.
The Sol Center
Family & Intercultural Resource Center
The Sol Center now houses the Family & Intercultural Resource Center (FIRC) and Building Hope, bringing essential community services under one roof. The 18,150-square-foot facility includes a community food market, thrift store, meeting spaces and offices supporting food security, peer support, health and wellness, financial empowerment, and mental and emotional health.
Rockridge Building and Allen-Guerra Architecture proudly provided pro bono construction and architectural services to help bring this important community resource to life. We also thank the many donors, partners and community members whose generosity and support made the Sol Center possible.

Great Rubber Duck Race
The Summit Foundation
“The Summit Foundation strengthens communities throughout Summit County and the neighboring towns of Alma, Fairplay, Kremmling and Leadville by connecting local generosity with meaningful scholarships and grants.
For 10 years, Rockridge proudly supported the Summit Foundation’s Great Rubber Duck Race by volunteering our time and building expertise. Each Labor Day weekend, our team helped set the racecourse, build the finish-line bridge, guide wayward ducks downstream and return the Blue River to its natural condition after the event. The annual race sent thousands of ducks through downtown Breckenridge and raised as much as $100,000 each year to support the Foundation’s work.
Please visit their website to learn why The Summit Foundation has earned the nickname “Soul of the Summit”.
Space for possibility
Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center
“The Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) provides life-changing outdoor learning experiences for those who are often excluded from outdoor activity due to a disability or special need.” Their headquarters on Wellington Rd has not adequately served many of the organization's needs in years past. After meeting with BOEC leadership, Rockridge Building and Custom Mountain Architects offered pro bono architectural and construction services to expand the facility and bring it up to date. The updated building, completed in the Fall of 2018, provides new office and conference capacities and increases storage for adaptive equipment. Most importantly, most of the new third floor is dedicated to housing needs vital to retaining BOEC's staff and volunteers.
Please visit the BOEC's website and learn how to get involved in this inspiring local organization.
The playhouse Project
Habitat For Humanity
The Playhouse Project was a four-week public art exhibition held in the Town of Dillon during the summer of 2021. The event featured three one-of-a-kind playhouses designed and built in partnership with local construction companies.
Marketed throughout Colorado as a must-see attraction, the exhibition brought visitors to Dillon before the playhouses were auctioned online. Proceeds benefited Summit County Habitat for Humanity, and the playhouses were delivered to their new owners for local children to enjoy for years to come.
