Cumulus Tower Project - The Conco Companies

On July 14^th, Conco successfully completed over 40,000 square feet of finished slab work for the Cumulus Tower after pouring over 8,000 cubic yards of concrete for the project. This large scale project was first proposed in 2015 and architectural firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, known for its long history in the residential market, designed this 30-story residential tower. Cumulus Tower will be the first tower in this area of Los Angeles and will be a cornerstone feature of a larger complex that will also include open spaces, offices, and 100,000 square feet of retail, with plans to include a supermarket in the retail space.

Cumulus Tower and the surrounding complex is located in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles and will create 1,210 new apartments. This exciting new development seeks to promote public transit as it provides more housing and retail stores next to new metro rail stations. The Cumulus Tower is located across from the La Cienega / Jefferson station on the Expo light rail line which opened in 2012.

Conco was selected for this large project based on its reputation as the best value in concrete services and its commitment to delivering exceptional quality construction on schedule and budget. This experience was particularly important for the Cumulus Tower as the project requires a fast schedule, that started in June 2018 and will wrap up July 2019. During this timeframe, Conco is providing a range of concrete services including structural concrete forming, structural concrete placement and finishing, pumping, and structural shotcrete services for the project.

Auditorium - Art Complex Cathedral High School - The Conco Companies

The Conco Companies is finishing its work on a new 350 seat theater in Los Angeles. The Arts Complex at Cathedral High School will include an exposed concrete thrust stage and seating area. The thrust stage will extend into the seating area with the audience surrounding three sides of the stage. Conco leveraged its experience to successfully plan and execute the concrete strategy for these fundamental pieces of the auditorium.

Cathedral High School was founded in 1925 by Archbishop John J. Cantwell as the first Los Angeles Archdiocesan high school. The school now enrolls over 700 students, 70% of which use financial aid or academic scholarships to meet the cost of tuition and fees. The school has had tremendous success, with up to 80% of graduates admitted to four-year colleges and universities as well as alumni throughout the community in government, business and education roles. The school launched its Arts’ Matter Campaign to help expand its facilities to include a new Arts Complex at the high school, providing students greater opportunities to develop their interest and skills in the arts as young people.

Conco began working on the project in September 2017 and responsibilities include providing concrete formwork, concrete pumping, concrete finishing and shotcrete services for the project. Conco was selected for this project among a select groups of contractors due to our vast array of concrete services, particularly formwork, pumping, shotcrete, and cast in place concrete, which included both vertical and horizontal construction. Difficult project constraints such as a compact construction site next to the school’s playing fields, making planning and on-time execution essential. Conco’s vast experience made us the leading candidate for the project. Conco’s work on the project is expected to be completed in April 2018.

The Conco Companies is 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.

Project Rendering from Hudson Pacific Properties

The Conco Companies is providing a variety of concrete services for the new 13 story Epic Tower in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd. The project is being developed by owner Hudson Pacific Properties and was designed by Gensler architects, who also recently collaborated on the nearby ICON tower. The general contractor is Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company and the structural engineer is Nabih-Yousef and Associates.

The project is a 280,000 Sq. Ft. office tower with 18,400 Sq. Ft of new retail space. The building also includes 27,000 Sq. Ft. of inspiring landscaped terraces, providing a seamless transition to outside workspaces through tall glass walls that overlook the city of Los Angeles. The project is targeting a LEED Gold certification, incorporating bike-parking, a fitness center as well as a ‘landing pad’ for drones.

Conco was selected for this project because of our experience and commitment to high quality planning and execution on complex projects. With Conco’s expertise, the Epic Tower will be the first building in Los Angeles to feature 15 foot, low-profile concrete ceilings. Conco began work on the high-profile project in December of 2017 and completion is anticipated for March 2019. This timeline reflects the challenges of working in a growing neighborhood with high-traffic volume limiting site access and work hours. Conco is providing concrete finishing, concrete pumping, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services for the Epic Tower.

Once completed the Epic Tower will provide additional parking, retail and high-end office space to the neighborhood. The innovative tiered design of the Epic Tower is expected to draw more leading creative companies to Hollywood’s central district and its vibrant community.
