Albuquerque is a multicultural metropolis. Being a modern city that serves as a center of high-tech industry and research, Albuquerque is also home to the major shopping districts—Old Town, Nob Hill, Downtown, and Uptown house shops ranging from traditional southwestern art galleries to contemporary boutiques.

Here, we’ve listed the best in the city and have created projects that garnered these contractors features in Engineering News-Record (ENR) and Albuquerque Business First. These firms also have long track records: with such experience to support their work, these firms are some of the most trustworthy contractors, more than capable of crafting projects that reflect Albuquerque’s colorful shopping districts.

Over the years, this team has built projects for numerous markets.

The project we’ve decided to highlight is Jared, The Galleria of Jewelry. A 6,283-square-foot tenant improvement of shell space, the project involved high-end finishes, coordination with specified owner furnishings, and significant security considerations. Thanks to projects like these, the firm has been featured in Albuquerque Business First and Engineering News-Record (ENR) where it took the 342nd rank for its 2019 list of Top 400 Contractors. In the same year, it took the 91st rank in the list of Top 100 Green Building Contractors and was named by Albuquerque Business First as the Largest Women-Owned Business in New Mexico.

Mick Rich Contractors

Our editorial team was struck by this Walmart project in Durango, Colorado. The project involved renovating the associates’ break room, the pharmacy, the Vision Care Center, and all restrooms throughout the store. All vinyl flooring was replaced throughout the store and both the interior and exterior of the building were painted. Projects like these earned the firm features from publications like Las Cruces Sun-News and Albuquerque Business First. The firm has been recognized in New Mexico, but also in Arizona, Colorado, and West Texas where it has built scores of public and private sector projects that exhibit the team’s ability to craft high-quality products.
