Boren Tower - The Conco Companies - Seattle Concrete Contractors 4 (1)

Boren Avenue is known for the cultural and pedestrian experience that it brings to Seattle residents and visitors. It is home to Cornish College’s famed Raisbeck Hall on Boren, among other notable historic sites. The challenge for Holland Residential and The Conco Companies, was to design and build a structure that reflects Seattle’s modern skyline without jarring the existing buildings. The result was a design that everyone can agree on.

Holland Residential’s new project, Boren Tower, is underway after receiving unanimous approval of their latest design. The tower replaces three surface-level parking lots totaling 21,600 square feet on the corner of Lenora Street and Boren Avenue. Designed by the Seattle architectural firm, Weber Thompson, the 44-story mixed-use tower will accommodate residential, arts, and office spaces at 2019 Boren Avenue. It also offers below-grade parking for over 360 vehicles.

Residential amenities include both outdoor and indoor space on level 5, atop the tower’s roof, and on the podium level. The south terrace provides a pool deck, cooking/hospitality area, and a full, wrap-around bar. Although floor plans and per-unit square footage are still in the works, upper floors will contain 400 residential units, with four penthouses on level 42 and 43. The entire project will total 643,000 square feet.

The Conco Companies poured a mat slab in January 2020, consisting of a monolithic base mat pour of 5,920cy. with an additional upper mat slab pour of 730cy. The crew utilized three pumps to pour the concrete. Cadman supplied the readymix, averaging 348 yards per hour for the pour, with a maximum output of 463cy per hour. Conco Reinforcing supplied over 1.5 million pounds of rebar for the mat, installed by RPM.

The Conco Companies is partnering with Holland Residential throughout the planning and execution phases of the project due to our solid working relationship, reliable services, and competitive bids. This is our fourth tower project with Holland. The scope of the work will include concrete pumping, finishing, reinforcement, formwork, trucking, and shotcrete. The project is expected to be completed by August 2021.

Seattle commercial concrete contractors, The Conco Companies, is working with Kirkland Developers, Kirkland Construction Group, and OTAK Architects to bring an immense and exciting new project to The Waterfront Vancouver development.

An Evolution by the Riverside

The waterfront district in downtown Vancouver, Washington has taken many shapes during its lifetime. Once a hub of lumber mills and shipping depots in the 19th century, then a set of shipyards in the early and mid-20th century that produced ships for World Wars I and II, and lastly the home to a paper mill that closed in the 1990s – this industrial area next to the Columbia River has undergone many iterations. None, however, have been quite as dramatic a shift as the district’s newest conception: The Waterfront Vancouver. The Waterfront Vancouver is a massive redevelopment and revitalization project that has turned this industrial area into a bustling mixed-use development that includes residential, commercial, and retail space.

Among the many new buildings rising along the river are Hotel Indigo and Kirkland Tower, the largest project to date in the development. The $100 million project includes not only the four-star, eight-story hotel and the 12-story residential tower with condominiums, but also 17,000 square feet of retail space and multiple high-end dining facilities. Hotel Indigo boasts luxe amenities such as concierge services, valet, dry cleaning, and a dog-washing station, while Kirkland Tower will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, where residents can also utilize the amenities of the hotel.

Comprehensive Concrete Services for a Large-Scale Project

To begin construction on the project, the Conco Companies provided a 33,357 square foot concrete mat foundation ranging in thickness from four feet to just under six feet and designed to contend with the high water table at the waterfront. In addition to the foundation, Conco will also provide two concrete stair cores and an elevator core, as well as the decks. With the target top-out date of mid-December 2019, Conco is completing one deck pour every 4-5 days, with each deck up to the eighth level requiring three pours to finish. Altogether, Conco will provide the concrete pumping and finishing, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services for the massive project.

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring expertise and incomparable quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, educational, parking structures, public works projects, and other development.

Thompson Hotel - Denver

Dubbed the Mile High City and situated just an hour east of the famous Rocky Mountains, Denver is Colorado’s capital and most populous city. Given its dual characteristics as a major metropolitan area and its proximity to the ski slopes and hiking trails of the mountains, Denver is a go-to tourist destination for millions of people every year. To meet the high demand of visitors wanting to experience all the city has to offer, Denver cultivated a robust tourism and hospitality industry that will soon welcome the luxury hotel chain Thompson Hotels into its fold.

Beginning construction in 2019, the Thompson Hotel project is an exciting collaboration of T2 Development, architects DLR Group, Layton Construction, and Denver commercial concrete contractors, The Conco Companies. The hotel will be on the 16th Street Mall, a booming commercial district in the heart of the city with restaurants, bars, retail shops, businesses, and arts and entertainment complexes. The upscale hotel will take the place of a surface parking lot and will loft to a height of 13 stories with over 200 rooms. Its high-end amenities will include an outdoor sky patio and fireplace, a full-service restaurant and bar on the street level, a rooftop bar with private event rooms, and meeting and event spaces situated throughout the hotel.

While the hotel itself will fit right into the dynamic 16th Street Mall, its location will pose some challenges for its construction. Primarily, the close proximity to the many other businesses and ongoing activities of the area will constrain access to the construction site and require strategic use of large equipment. For this reason, the Conco Companies is an ideal partner in the project, as they have decades of experience in tackling logistically challenging projects. After lending their expertise in the preconstruction and planning stages of development, Conco is slated to commence construction in August 2019. For their part of the Thompson Hotel project, Conco will be providing Denver concrete pumping and placing, formwork, concrete reinforcement, concrete finishing, and shotcrete services as well as construction trucking. The scope of work includes drilled pier foundations, pier caps and grade beams, mat foundations, slab on grade, shotcrete foundation walls, elevator core walls in two locations, and elevated post-tensioned structural slabs. Once completed, the Thompson Denver promises to be one of the premier hotels in the city.

Conco’s mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western United States and to bring expertise and unsurpassed quality to each project.

By 2020-21, Los Angelinos will have access to a large portion of its newest multi-use development project in the Inglewood neighborhood of the city: Hollywood Park. Since its conception, the expansive 300-acre campus has brought together the city’s best designers, developers, and commercial concrete contractors in Los Angeles. Now, Hollywood Park continues to add world-class amenities to its site and boasts an impressive array of attractions. Once completed, the development will have a total of 2,500 homes, 500,000 square feet of retail space, a 6,000 seat concert venue, over 900,000 square feet of office space, 300 hotel rooms, 25 acres of parks, 12 miles of walkable paths, and the new LA Stadium for the Rams and Chargers with 70,000 seats.

NFL Media Building - Conco Companies

Stylish, Class A Office Space

The most recent project to begin construction in the ambitious development is the NFL Media Building. This eight-story high rise tower commenced construction in summer of 2019 and will include a connected two-story studio support facility and an adjacent studio structure to become the headquarters of the West Coast NFL Operations and Media. Slated to welcome tenants in summer of 2021, the project will provide 434,000 square feet of office space, 220,000 square feet of which will be available to lease for companies outside of NFL Operations and Media. Given the large scale and fast timeline of the project, the general contractors Pankow Builders selected the Conco Companies to provide commercial concrete contractor services.

Reliable, Quality Concrete Services

Conco was chosen for their ability to meet the project’s unique requirements, particularly the large amount of quality concrete finishing on a very accelerated schedule. Conco began work on the project in July 2019 and is expected to finish in September 2020. Within this fast turnaround, Conco will provide concrete pumping, placement, and finishing on all slab on grade and structural decks, including a studio level with stringently high tolerances for floor flatness and floor levelness.

Meeting Strict Standards

Floor flatness and floor levelness are indicated by an F-number, which is a quantitative way to indicate the flatness and levelness of a concrete floor. The F-number is an important metric for floors with random traffic patterns, as with the studio level of the NFL Media Building. For both measures, a high F-number is desired, and in particular, a high F-number for floor flatness is a result of a skilled concrete finisher working the surface of the concrete to achieve a flat floor. Conco’s reputation for quality concrete work ensures that the strict standards for the NFL Media Building will be met, while still keeping the project on time and on budget.

Hire Local

A significant part of this project is the local hire requirements. On June 26, 2019, The Conco Companies partnered with Pankow Builders, America’s Job Center and the Southern California Unions-Carpenters and Laborers among other entities at a Jobs Information & Resource Fair in Inglewood. Together we introduced local residents to the construction industry and the upcoming job opportunities.

Local residents were informed of the various projects. They were also informed of the different trades we work with at Conco as well as the process of becoming employed.

Superintendent Carlos Ambriz, Project Manager Nestor Miranda, Dispatcher Michael Calderon, and office Manager Dora Veronica were in attendance.

The roof level was placed roughly one year later on July 17, 2019. Within this 369 day timeframe Conco pumped and placed 34,000 cubic yards of concrete and finished 550,000 square feet of flatwork, all while maintaining an impressive five-day deck cycle.

We simply could not have done it without an amazing team of dedicated and talented craft men and women. Our skilled concrete specialists provide the expertise and commitment that is the foundation for Conco’s reputation for delivering exceptional quality construction on schedule and on budget. The Cumulus Tower project, like Conco’s other large scale and challenging projects showcases Conco’s hard work. We are grateful to have our talented concrete specialists on the Conco team.

The Cumulus project is in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles and seeks to promote public transit by offering residential and retail spaces next to new metro rail stations. This mixed-use development by Carmel Partners consists of one seven-story podium building and a 30-story high rise with 100,000 square feet of retail, on an 11-acre site that was once occupied by Cumulus Media’s radio broadcast facility. The residential portion of the project will feature 1,210 apartments and, combined with 100,000 square feet of commercial space, will be divided between two separate buildings. The Cumulus Tower is the first tower in this section of Los Angeles and is the cornerstone of the larger complex.
