I don’t usually attend groundbreaking ceremonies but stopped by K2’s this morning to hear Steve and Randy Fifield talk about their latest K Station high-rise. As they spoke, construction crews were drilling 120 80-foot deep caissons to support the building.
“Those of us who are in the real estate development business are dreamers,” Steve said. “You can’t just be a dreamer in this business. You have to be a tenacious dreamer.”
Fifield’s legendary tenacity enabled him to say his dreams “built a small city here” despite the “old-time practitioners” who cautioned him about the risks. He’s still the brash young man, after a long career that makes him a veteran.
When the 33-story, 496-unit K2 is complete, there’ll be another 1,000 people living in Fifield’s small city.
