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. We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, educational, parking structures, and other construction development.

While the Healthcare District of Denver is home to a constellation of hospitals and healthcare facilities, it is also a bustling area featuring restaurants, retail stores, businesses, and soon, two new high-end multi-family residential buildings. The Broadstone Uptown project will make use of a currently empty lot at the corner of 18th and Marion Street and will bring much needed residential units to the growing city. The project brings together local architects, engineers, and commercial concrete contractors in Denver and promises to introduce over two hundred studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments to the neighborhood, as well as below grade parking for each of the two buildings.

Denver has experienced a huge boom in its population over the past several years, and city officials and local developers have worked diligently to answer the call for more housing. In 2018, reports concluded that Denver needed 32,000 new units to keep pace with the city’s rapid growth, and as a result construction cranes and newly erected high-rise multi-family residential buildings have become ubiquitous features of the cityscape. The Broadstone Uptown project will be a welcome addition to Denver’s housing stock and is slated to begin construction in July 2019.

The development team for The Broadstone Uptown project includes PR III Broadstone Uptown Developers, Enayat Schneider Smith Engineering, and Shear Adkins Rockmore Architects who designed the nearly identical, adjacent nine-story residential buildings. Conco worked closely with these teams for over a year in the planning phase and won the contract for concrete services due to the strong working relationships built in that process and Conco’s competitive pricing. Conco is known for keeping large scale projects on time and budget, two necessary characteristics in the race to build more residential units in Denver. The scope of work for Conco’s turnkey structural concrete services include mat slab foundations, slab on grade, shotcrete foundation walls, cast-in-place columns, elevator and stair core walls in two locations in each building, elevated post-tensioned structural slabs and Epicore topping slabs for the cast-in-place rooftop slabs. Conco will be partnering with a local subcontractor to provide Denver concrete pumping and placing, reinforcing, formwork, and finishing as well as construction trucking.

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. We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, educational, parking structures, and other construction development.

The city of Oakland, CA has been undergoing significant change over the recent years as prominent development groups and city officials work to revitalize existing structures and re-envision the lay of the land. Strada Investment Group and CIM Group, along with Bay Area commercial concrete contractors The Conco Companies, have joined these efforts with their work on a joint venture at 1100 Clay Street. This exciting mixed-use project is one of several in the companies’ portfolios and promises to contribute significantly to the evolving dynamic of downtown.

1100 Clay Street: a robust collaboration

The Strada Investment Group is a real estate investment company headquartered in San Francisco with expertise in research, acquisitions, asset management, and construction and development. The CIM Group is an owner and operator of a variety of real assets, including urban residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and infrastructure investments. Together they conceived of the 16-story mixed-use residential tower at 1100 Clay Street and have partnered with area contractors to commence construction on the project. The residential component of the building will feature 288 apartment units with floorplans ranging from studios to three bedrooms, all outfitted with on-trend finishes and fixtures and large windows with excellent Bay Area views. Residents of the building will also benefit from a fitness center, co-working meeting spaces, a rooftop lounge, underground parking, and bike storage. 1100 Clay Street will also provide several public amenities, including 4,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor and a landscaped pedestrian plaza next the building and stone’s throw from the 12th Street BART Station.

Laying a strong foundation

In order to make this vision possible, the project’s development groups partnered with the Conco Companies to provide a range of commercial concrete services. The work of concrete contractors is the foundation and backbone of many large-scale construction projects and Conco will be contributing 14,590 cubic yards of concrete and shotcrete as well as four million pounds of rebar and post-tension reinforcement to the endeavor. Known for its ability to take on complex projects while keeping them on budget and on schedule, Conco was tasked with the project’s concrete finishing, concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, construction trucking, and shotcrete services.

Conco is a leading supplier of concrete services for the Western United States. As one of the leading commercial concrete contractors in the Bay Area, we have been involved with large-scale projects in the area including the new 49ers Stadium. Our concrete services include commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects and highways.

Every year, the Southern California Contractors Association (SCCA) hosts its annual Safety Awards to recognize the achievements of those in the industry working to create safer, accident-free working environments and job sites. This year’s Safety Awards were held at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim, CA and looked back at all SCCA’s members accomplished in 2018. Los Angeles commercial concrete contractors and other contractors from across the region were in attendance, including The Conco Companies, who walked away with the Zero Accident 2018 award that evening.

Industry leaders: SCCA and Conco Pumping

SCCA is a longstanding membership organization that brings union-affiliated contractors in the construction industry together to foster superior industry standards by encouraging sound business methods, efficiency, and cooperation among contractors. The SCCA accomplishes this by hosting several membership meetings throughout the year and across southern California that provide opportunities for professional development and networking. In addition to these meetings and educational seminars, SCCA also provides legal, labor, and safety resources and advocacy for its members, as well as opportunities to celebrate those who are reaching the high construction industry standards the SCCA is working to promote.

The Safety Awards

TThe SCCA Safety Awards were created to recognize the members who have performed and excelled in accident prevention. SCCA understands the importance of safety within the construction industry, and believes an innovative safety culture, adherence to strict safety practices, and accident-free operations is worth celebrating. At this year’s Safety Awards, the Conco Companies was recognized with the Zero Accidents 2018 award for its stellar record, along with other companies that attained the same laudable accomplishment. Obtaining and maintaining an accident-free record is not an easy feat, as OSHA reports the average rate of recordable incidents within the industry to be multiple incidents per year, per contractor. Conco has worked to mitigate this risk within its own range of concrete services by utilizing a thorough accident prevention program and promoting the vision and initiatives of its safety teams. This combination of diligent safety practices and innovation helped make Conco a worthy candidate for industry recognition at the 2019 Safety Awards.

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.
