Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Chair Renee Anderson recently accepted a ColoradoBiz Top Project award recognizing the Highlands Ranch Senior Center as one of the first ever award recipients. Pictured here with Anderson is Forrest Dykstra, who managed the senior center construction project.
The award celebrates the best construction projects in Colorado. According to ColoradoBiz, this award spotlights the excellent work being done in the architecture/engineering/development/and building industries.

The recognized projects were judged for their degree of difficulty, creativity in design, innovative construction techniques, cooperation among contractors and management, and sustainability efforts.

The 22,000-square-foot senior center opened in January 2025, offering programs, activities and events to people ages 55 and older. The center already has more than 1,800 members. Learn more about the senior center at highlandsranch.org/seniorcenter.
