Concrete Design/Build Archives | The Conco Companies

The Conco Companies are busy finishing up work on a new 11-story hotel in downtown San Francisco. The 701 3^rd Street Hyatt Place project is near AT&T Park and is being developed by its owner, the Four One Five, LLC c/o Stonebridge Companies. The general contractor is Charles Pankow Builders and the architect is Stanton Architecture. DCI Engineers is the project’s structural engineer. The 230 room, 103,000 sq. ft. hotel is expected to receive LEED Platinum certification for features that include a grey water system, vegetated roofs, and highly sustainable mechanical systems.

Conco began work on the project in May of 2017 and expects to finish in January, 2018. Our job responsibilities included providing concrete reinforcement, pumping, formwork, finishing, shotcrete and Design/Build services. We were selected for the job due to our understanding and commitment to the project as well as our longstanding relationship with the general contractor, Charles Pankow Builders, who is familiar with our high standards. The project has provided challenges along the way due to the logistics of its close location to AT&T Park as well as its aggressive schedule; and we are proud to say we have been more than able to meet all of the challenges.

The building will offer a landscaped public courtyard at ground level as well as a terrace on the 9th floor and a vegetated rooftop terrace that are reserved for hotel guests. In addition there will be approximately 2,000 gross square feet of ground floor retail space and 15 below‐grade off‐street parking spaces. As the majority of construction in San Francisco recently has been office buildings and apartment towers, hotels are in high demand and a new hotel development will be most welcomed.

At The Conco Companies, we are one of the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offer a wide range of quality services and products. Our experience includes providing services for commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services for 700 Santana Row, a new 292,000 sq. ft. eight-story, Class-A office building and a 6-level parking garage in San Jose, CA. The building also offers 28,500 sq. ft. of retail space and is scheduled to be finished by the fall of 2018. The parking garage will accommodate 1,300 vehicles and is comprised of one level below-grade and five levels above. During normal working hours, four levels will be reserved for office tenants and the other two levels open to the general public.

The project’s developer/owner is Federal Realty Investment Trust and the general contractor is Devcon Construction Inc. WRNS Studio in the architect and the structural engineer is Nishikian Menniger. With an estimated cost between $205 million to $215 million, the total size of the project is 457,100 sq. ft. The state-of-the-art building features a modern architectural style and quality concrete construction for a distinctive look.

Conco’s crews started work on the project in June 2017 and we expect to have our part of the job finished by May, 2018. For the project, Conco is providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, shotcrete, and finishing services. In addition, our expertise includes providing Design/Build services.

The 700 Santana Row office building is situated alongside Olson Drive at the end of Santana Row and is convenient to Interstate 280. Federal Realty’s Western Region Chief Operating Officer, Jan Sweetnam, says, “We’ve designed the building with a concrete structure and loft-like feel more often found in San Francisco’s SOMA district and other urban centers. 700 Santana Row will feature expansive natural light with tall, market-leading 13-foot ceilings and open floor plans, which in turn will provide companies with high-productivity, collaborative workspaces for their employees.”

The entire Santana Row is an upscale, mixed-use village and is one of the most popular areas to live, work, dine and shop in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. Along with Class-A office space, the village offers a boutique hotel, shops, restaurants, spas, salons, and luxury apartments.

Conco is one of the foremost suppliers of concrete services for the Western U.S. We got our start in 1959 in the Bay Area by offering clients the best value on a broad range of concrete services and products. Since that time, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have regional offices serving California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Washington.

Village at Totem Lake Rendering, image source: CenterCal Properties, LLC

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on “Building C,” a part of the Village at Totem Lake redevelopment project in Kirkland, WA. The development company is CenterCal Properties LLC, who describes the project as “a lifestyle center with a village feel.” The General Contractor is Venture GC, the architect is GBD Architects and the structural engineer is DCI Engineers. Building C, a turnkey concrete package, is Phase II of the project: a 265,000 square foot building that will offer street-level retail and restaurant space as well as upper-level residential units.

Conco’s job responsibilities include providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, and finishing services along with professional construction hauling services. We started work this August and expect to be finished in about 10 months. One particular challenge of the project is that the construction site is right next to an active shopping mall. Therefore, we are carefully planning before we bring in the multiple placing booms the job requires.

The redevelopment project is a welcomed improvement to the area as the original Totem Lake Mall, built in 1973, was outdated and in varying states of neglect and vacancies. In fact, a Puget Sound Business Journal article from 2015 noted that the original Totem Lake Mall could be considered “the most tired-looking big property in Kirkland.”

The Village at Totem Lake development is expected to be finished by the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019 and will include a park, retail shops, restaurants, 850 high-end apartments, and a state-of-the-art luxury movie theater. The mall already has commitments from two tenants, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, both of which are located in Phase I and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2017.

Update on 970 Denny

The Conco Companies is providing a wide range of concrete services for 970 Denny, a 40-story apartment building currently under construction in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. To date, we recently completed placing the Level 20 deck.

As of June 16, 2017, core and columns are being placed concurrent with deck (i.e., levels 19-20). We are operating on a five-day deck cycle, with 11 consecutive five-day cycles completed. We anticipate completing Level 40 by mid-November, R1 by Thanksgiving and topping out at R4 the first week of January 2018. Total concrete placed to date is just over 24K.

Along with placing each deck floor, we are concurrently constructing the core and columns with 386 steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) coupling beams to ensure the utmost safety in the quake-prone area. Our crew is busy executing five-day deck cycles and has already completed 11 consecutive cycles. Maintaining this schedule, we anticipate we will complete Level 40 by mid-November, R1 by Thanksgiving, and topping out the project at R4 by the first week in January, 2018.

The project is being developed by the Holland Partner Group and the general contractor is Holland Construction. The architect, Weber Thompson, describes the mixed-use project as a juxtaposing of a “modern, sleek and sculpted 440’ tall tower with a crisp podium structure that is carefully proportioned to blend with nearby industrial age warehouse structures.” Scheduled for completion by the summer of 2018, the building expects to receive LEED Silver certification.

Update on Southport on Lake Washington

Another project Conco has been working on in nearby Renton, WA is the Southport on Lake Washington parking structure. This is our biggest Northwest project to date and we have already placed more than 40,000 cubic yards of concrete, which is just a little over half of the total amount of concrete we will use to complete the project.

We have placed over 40,000cy of concrete, and are just over 50% complete with total yardage poured on this project. To help reduce noise pollution in a residential area, we are using the Putzmeister 14000E high pressure trailer pump.

Furthermore, as the project is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, Conco is using our Putzmeister 14000E high pressure electric pump station to help reduce noise pollution. We are also using the efficient, lightweight Titan #6 pole shores for the high-bay decks. This is only the second project in the Northwest area that has used the Titan system for high shoring conditions. The structure’s design also includes 24-foot tall, single lift, round architectural columns.

We are proud to report that the Southport jobsite has been recognized by both the project owners and the GC for exceptional cleanliness and organization. Conco is also pleased to report that we have implemented our “top down and bottom up” innovative safety procedures that have resulted in a 6-month, injury-free 2017.

Conco’s mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western United States and to bring expertise, experience and quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, parking structures, educational, and other construction development. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.

San Diego Airport - Conco Companies

One of the many projects The Conco Companies is involved with in the San Diego area is the Terminal 2 Parking Plaza for the San Diego International Airport. The $128 million parking structure will have three floors and offers approximately 3,000 parking stalls that will be within walking distance of Terminal 2. The project broke ground in September 2016 and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2018.

The new parking plaza, which will replace the existing surface parking lot, is being built up (3 floors) due to the small footprint of the airport. The architect on the project is Watry Design, a San Jose-based firm with a portfolio that includes designing 1,000 parking garages throughout the Western U.S. The general contractor for the project is Swinerton Builders. Conco’s extensive concrete services will include 30 plus M58 pours.

The new garage will be the first in San Diego Country to be outfitted with high-tech sensors that allow visitors to reserve and pay for a parking spot in advance through their smart phone. At the entrance of the parking structure, you will put in an access code and the app will guide you to a space and help you to find your car once you return.

Hedionda Lift Station

Another challenging project for Conco pumping is the Hedionda Lift Station for the City of Carlsbad. Pulice Construction, Inc. is the general contractor and this is the first time in many years that Conco has had the opportunity to work with the company on a water project. Along with the 33 MGD wastewater lift station, improvements include the installation of approximately two miles of new sewer pipeline.
