High Rise Second Place Winner for the Premiere on Pine

The residential tower, Premiere on Pine (formerly known as 815 Pine) is a Second Place Winner of the American Concrete Institute’s 2017 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards in the High Rise category. This is quite an honor as there were only 12 winners from around the world. The winners were recognized at the “Celebrating Concrete Innovation and Excellence Across the Globe” Awards Gala during the ACI Concrete Convention and Exposition. Recipients of the award for the Premiere on Pine’s project include its owner and developer, Holland Partner Group; architect, Weber Thompson Architects; engineering firm, Cary Kopcznyski & Company; general contractor, Holland construction Inc.; and concrete contractor, The Conco Companies.

815 Pine St, Seattle, WA — Premiere on Pine (formerly known as 815 Pine), won second place of the American Concrete Institute’s 2017 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards in the High Rise category.

The tower’s use of high-strength concrete and reinforcing steel created maximum floor space for the small site and is the first building in Seattle to have a specified concrete strength of 15,000 psi in its columns. Along with showcasing the technological advancements in the concrete industry over the last couple of decades, it allowed the high-strength columns to be smaller than those found in similarly sized projects. Conco is extremely honored to receive the award from the ACI. We are proud to have been selected for this innovative project and to have been a part of this exceptional team.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on the 4th & Madison apartment project currently under construction from the San Francisco based owner and developer, Carmel Partners. The builder on the 90,000 SF project is CP Construction West, Inc., and the architect is KTGY Architecture + Planning. Located in Oakland’s Historic Jack London Square Waterfront Warehouse District, the project consists of two buildings directly across the street from one another.

Building “A”, which will be seven stories and offer 240 housing units, is within the Historic Warehouse District so it was designed with “boxcar-like” elements that evoke the district’s activities. It will also have a total of 3,000 square feet of retail space with each of the building’s corners flanked by a shop or restaurant. Building “B” is not required to conform to the historic guidelines so KTGY designed it with a more contemporary look that “references a dynamic stack of shipping containers and the “boxcar” look of Building A.” It will offer 90 housing units that include configurations such as an extra loft and two-or three bedroom floor plans.

Conco’s responsibilities on the project include providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam™ services. During the course of the project we expect to place 19,000 cubic yards of concrete as well as shotcrete and Confoam™. We are also providing 1,050,000 pounds of rebar and PT reinforcement.

The residents of 4th & Madison will have a full array of amenities available including a fitness center, pool and spa, demonstration kitchen, multipurpose room, media room, sky terrace and BBQ area, and much more. In addition the new buildings are conveniently located approximately a half-mile from the Lake Merritt BART light rail station.

The architect, KTGY Architecture + Planning, has already won a Gold Nugget Merit Award for the project in the category of “Best on the Boards Multifamily Community.” Additionally Conco is excited to be working with Carmel Partners, a company “focused on sustaining a culture committed to the principles of responsibility, integrity and alignment of interests.”

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.

The Conco Companies recently embarked on another challenging project in Southern CA. This time we are providing a full range of concrete services for the Midfield Satellite Concourse North and the Baggage Optimization Project (BOP) that are part of a new addition to LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT).

When complete, the Concourse will offer 12 new aircraft gates as well as restrooms, retail and concession spaces and will be connected to the TBIT by a 1,000-foot-long pedestrian tunnel with moving walkways and a utility tunnel. The project also includes 1.5 million square feet of new aircraft apron and taxiways/taxilanes along with underground utility improvements to support the new gates and baggage processing capacity.

The $1.6 billion project is funded by LAX operating revenues, fees and other proceeds. The General Contractor, Turner/PCL Joint Venture, was awarded the design/build contract. It is also designed by Corgan Architects in association with Gensler and gkkworks. Structural engineers are Saiful-Bouquet and Buehler & Buehler.

The scope of Conco’s responsibilities for the new five-level Concourse and BOP includes concrete pumping, reinforcement, and formwork. In addition we will provide the project’s outlying areas with concrete reinforcement, formwork and shotcrete services. On the extensive tunnels, our crews will expertly handle the concrete finishing. During the course of the project, Conco will also offer design assistance to help ensure the best finished product.

As the large work area encompasses 640-acres, some of it is on or adjacent to active runways and other occupied areas. Couple that with varying soil conditions, obvious security concerns, traffic, work time restrictions, concerns for local residents, and adhering to our number one priority – safety; it is a challenging project! Just like any design/build, a lot of coordination is needed among all trade partners, and we are excited to be part of such a great team. Also most design/build projects require lots of modifications and this project looks to be no different.

Conco is honored to be a part of a project that along with other planned improvements to the airport will have a dramatic impact on LAX and the 74 million travelers that pass through the facility each year. The Midfield Satellite Concourse terminal is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification and to meet the CAL Green Tier 1 requirements with sustainable features such as a “cool roof,” water-saving fixtures, and energy-saving operations. The project broke ground February 27, 2017 and is scheduled for completion sometime in 2019.

The Conco Companies is a leading supplier of concrete services throughout the Western U.S. We started in the Bay Area in 1959 by offering clients the best value on a wide range of concrete services and products and are now one of the foremost concrete contractors in the region. Our concrete services include commercial, educational, industrial and public works projects as well as parking structures.

Conco’s duties will include concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, shotcrete, and formwork. As the job requires an aggressive schedule, we will need to use multiple placing booms.

In addition to the Modera Glisan, Conco has just started another high-rise project directly across the street called 14^th & Glisan that is being developed by the Holland Partner Group. We are extremely pleased to have secured two such high profile projects in the area as we just officially opened our Portland office in April of this year. Also, this will be our first turn-key project with a new client.

The project site encompasses three-quarters of the block of NW Glisan St., 14th Ave, Hoyt St. and 15th. The L-shaped Modera Glisan will wrap around the historic Fire Station #3, which will remain on the site and be extensively renovated including seismic upgrades. Along Hoyt St, the building will be the full 12-stories high but drop to 10 stories along 14^th to blend in with the nearby Historic District. The high-rise will also offer an exterior terrace on top of the 10^th story that includes a pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and hammocks. At the 12 floor, there will be a common room as well and another terrace.

We were selected for the job not only for our competitive bid but also for our extensive experience on large, challenging projects and the ability and resources to successfully manage an aggressive schedule.
