The concrete scope of Esterra Park Block 3 is slated for completion June 2020.

The Conco Companies is providing concrete services for Esterra Park Block 3. Conco services include concrete finishing, pumping, reinforcement, formwork, construction trucking, and shotcrete. The concrete pour for Block 3 began in June 2019 and is expected to be completed June 2020.

Located in Redmond, Washington, The Esterra project is a 30-acre master planned community adjacent to Overlake Light Rail Station and the Microsoft Campus. It’s built on an open-space concept, where occupants can live, work, and socialize year-round. The project will expand roughly 235,000 square feet of additional office space.

The Conco Companies is meeting the challenges of implementing a structure that is designed to maximize lower level parking. We are pouring concrete for three lower levels of parking with seven levels of office space above. Conco recently finished work on adjacent Blocks 5 and 6A. In addition, we are part of the construction team on an upcoming project for Blocks 2A/2B.

The Esterra Park Block 3 project represents a segment of a large-scale plan to develop the area, which will be known as Overlake Village Station.

Conco’s mission is to be the best supplier of commercial concrete services in the Western United States and to bring experience, expertise and 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.

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.

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.

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.

the asher

Conco is providing a wide range of concrete services for The Asher, a 900,000 sq. ft. multi-family development. This includes concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, construction trucking as well as shotcrete services. Conco is pleased to be working with project developer Carmel Partners. The engineer, CKC Structural Engineers, was also recently recognized with the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute 2018 Honors Design and Construction Award for Tower 12 in Seattle. The Asher, situated on a 12.6 acre site, is scheduled to be completed in 2019.

The two, four-story buildings of The Asher will have a total of 632 open floor plan units in Fremont, CA. The wrapped style buildings will feature private patios and balconies with glass or custom wood railings in all units. Each building will also be paired with an above-grade parking structure, totaling 480,000 sq. ft. and 1,200 parking spaces. The South Garage will also feature an 18,000 sq. ft. roof deck on the sixth level, including a pool, bowling alley, and fitness room. The project’s unique shape and orientations includes several landscaped courtyards, effectively creating spaces for smaller communities within the larger development.

The long spans needed in the spacious amenity areas were accommodated by utilizing a concrete post-tensioned slab which was integrated into the light frame structure. This maximized flexibility of the space by minimizing the internal columns needed. The site also had soil issues which were ultimately solved using a shallow foundation system below the parking structure and a post-tension foundation below the residential structure. The two structures have significantly different weights and so it was necessary to balance these foundation systems to minimize differential settlement.

Conco’s goal is to be the top supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring our expertise and professionalism to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, industrial, educational, parking structure projects and other development. For the best value and quality, trust your project to one of the area’s leading lightweight concrete contractors.
