Lloyd Construction’s Block5 Receives Statewide Construction Award

A signature project in the Black Hills for Lloyd Construction has earned statewide recognition.

The Associated General Contractors, or AGC of South Dakota, named the mixed-use Block5 development in downtown Rapid City as an annual award winner at its state convention. The event was held at another Lloyd property – The Canopy by Hilton in downtown Sioux Falls.
Annual award winners are recognized for their excellence in construction, safety and leadership. Block5 was named the winner in the category of vertical construction valued between $76 and $125 million.

The 10-story development includes more than 130 loft apartments, a 117-room Hyatt Place hotel, first-floor retailers and a 330-stall parking ramp.

“We’re very proud to have brought Block5 to the Black Hills region and are honored that the AGC recognized our work,” said Mike Dill, executive vice president of Lloyd Construction. “The community has embraced this development and we consider a testament to the quality of work we’re committed to doing across all our projects.”
The AGC of South Dakota serves as “the voice of the construction industry” in the state, representing more than 400 members including building, highway, transportation, utility, infrastructure, and specialty contractors, as well as suppliers and service providers.

Each of its annual award winners can choose a charity to receive a $500 contribution. Lloyd Construction selected Club for Boys, anon-profit organization that provides teen and youth activities and programs that help boys achieve their full potential.

“We’ve partnered with Club for Boys in multiple affordable housing communities in the region,” Dill said. “They provide valuable services for youth living in these apartment neighborhoods and we were happy to be able to support them.”
