RST Nursing Home Progressing
Since 2020, Rangel Construction Company has been working with Fr. Gregory Bartholomew, FSSP, at Immaculate Conception Church in Rapid City on a grand project to restore and beautify the interior of the historical church building.
At a basic level, the 116-year old structure needed the electrical infrastructure redone, and new ordinances called for the building to have a fire sprinkler system. Review of the structural integrity of the building resulted in a requirement to reinforce the original choir loft with a network of steel beams pocketed into the original sandstone walls.
After 5 years of work and planning with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, construction has begun on a new nursing home to better care for the elders of the RST community. The 36,000 sq ft facility, being built in White River, SD, is expected to take 24 months to complete. This project is an example of Rangel Construction’s design-build capabilities, and our patient commitment to working with an owner through the design, funding, and construction of a multi-year project.
Recently, Rangel Construction has been involved in implementing numerous improvements and renovations to the historic Fairmont Creamery Company building, located in downtown Rapid City. One of the latest projects includes adding an elevator to the building, which will provide ADA compliance and access to the many tenants utilizing the upper floors. The project is expected to be completed near the end of 2024.
On the weekend of March 22-24, our residential project manager Josh Chamberlain and superintendent Michael DeLeon participated in the Black Hills Home Builders Association Home Show, which was held at the Monument in Rapid City. Rangel Construction recently joined as members of the BHHBA after becoming more involved in the custom homes market. This is the second year Rangel has participated in the Home Show, as the housing market continues to grow in South Dakota.
Rangel Construction Company was recently awarded three design-build contracts for districts on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Through a competitive RFP process, the Oglala Sioux Tribe has awarded the contracts to design and construct government service buildings for the districts of Pine Ridge, Oglala, and Wakpamni.
Early this past August, Rangel Construction completed the construction of a new residence for Camille and Michael Pauley. The new 4,600 square-foot home features one large bedroom, a full bathroom, a master bedroom with adjoining master bathroom, two executive offices, and plenty of closet space on the upper level.
The Main Street & McGregor Building in Hill City, a 20-month design-build effort, is nearing its completion.
Rangel Construction has added two more Construction Industry Center Master Craftsmanship Awards to its already extensive list. For the year 2022, Rangel was awarded for the Baptistry Building Deconstruction for the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Josh Button, Supt., with craftsmen Wayne Alexander, Tyson Anderson, Jeremy Smith, and Leslie Thomas), and also for Metal Panels and Aluminum Siding at the Security First Bank (Tim Sheperd, Supt., with craftsmen Jake Ruffcorn, John Shull, Jared Wagner, David Rangel, Isaac Rangel, and Joseph Rangel).
In the spring of 2021 Wayne and April Anderson lost their house in a wildfire that was ravaging the landscape around Rapid City. Rangel Construction recently completed their new custom home with its added updates.
Rangel Construction recently finished a complete remodel to its office space. Long hours are spent within the walls of our workplace, so it was necessary to initiate the design of a more comfortable and efficient layout.
Healing the Culture, an international organization that promotes life-affirming programs and curriculums, has partnered with Rangel Construction to build their new office space in Rapid City after relocating from Seattle. To celebrate their new location, Healing the Culture president Camille Pauley, along with office staff Aaron Howard and Natasha Combs, and Rangel Construction president Mario Rangel, held a groundbreaking on May 23, 2022. The project will include new office space as well as Healing the Culture’s new film studio.
On May 7, 2022, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help new addition and renovation project in Rapid City.
