1532 Harrison-The Conco Companies (2)

For the 1532 Harrison Street development, Conco is providing a wide range of concrete services including concrete pumping, formwork, finishing, and shotcrete services. The project of three, seven-story buildings connected by a single level below grade parking structure is expected to ready for residents in March 2019. Conco is also excited to partner with BAR Architects and Macy Architecture, who was recently honored with a 2016 AIACC Residential Award. The project’s developer, Build, Inc., was recently named the 2018 Developer To Watch by San Francisco Business Journal.

The three buildings in the West SoMa neighborhood will have 136 mixed-use units, including 22 below market rate units, and will feature two 25-foot wide laneway gardens between the buildings. The underground garage will include 85 parking spaces as well as a dedicated, interior bicycle storage and maintenance area with 137 bicycle parking spaces. Of the ample space available in the buildings, 1,600 sq. ft. of the ground level space will be dedicated to retail and will boast spacious 16’2” tall ceilings. There is also a planned on-site cafe at the corner of 12th Street and Harrison, across from the historic Eagle Tavern.

While the location of the 1532 Harrison Street development has the additional appeal of being across the street from Eagle Plaza, a permanent public plaza and green space, the proximity of this space added complexity to the project for Conco and the architects. Throughout the planning and design process, they aimed to ensure that the green space would be maintained and fit with the new development. The area has been designated a “priority greening opportunity” by local committees, which was incorporated in the design of the generous gardens of the 1532 Harrison Street development. Additionally, the plaza will transform an underutilized street into a well-cared-for green, safe, and clean shared pedestrian way – ideal for relaxing, gathering, and celebrating. During the course of the project, Conco expects to place 4,100 cubic yards of concrete as well as provide shotcrete services as they work to create these new mixed-use residential buildings and green spaces.

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.

In Conco’s work on the Jewish Home of San Francisco project, they will be providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, and shotcrete services, as well as construction trucking. The new Jewish Home community broke ground in the fall of 2016 and is expected to be completed in late 2018.

With 76 memory care units and 114 assisted living residential units, the $140 million, 270,000 sq. ft. new construction will dramatically expand the Jewish Homes facilities and service reach. The Jewish Home of San Francisco first opened its doors in 1891 to a dozen residents and since then has helped many more older adults to live, grow, and flourish in their community. Now the Jewish Home will be a centerpiece in the Excelsior community. President and CEO of the Jewish Home, Daniel Ruth, remarked on the exciting new project, saying, “With our location at the corner of Silver Avenue and Mission Street, we’re extremely proud to be the front door to Excelsior, and we’re proud of our history.”

The nine-acre campus was reimagined by Ankrom Moisan, the architecture firm recently honored by the Seattle Business magazine as one of its “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Ankrom Mosian’s design was inspired by the understanding that overall wellness can only be achieved when seniors’ social and emotional needs are met in addition to their physical ones. With this philosophy in mind, Ankrom Moisan helped the Jewish Home translate their vision into a campus design that promotes life-long learning, engagement with nature, and independence. The design ensures that wherever residents are on the campus – on a stroll, enjoying a meal, or in their rooms – they will never be far from experiencing nature’s rhythms.

During construction, Conco anticipates placing 19,000 cubic yards of concrete as well as providing shotcrete services. The new building is slated to recombine existing landscape areas into a series of three large parks that will revitalize the community and set the stage for a resort-like experience for residents. The project also includes a new auditorium, fitness areas, and art and library spaces.

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. Since that time, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have regional offices serving California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Washington.
