The Conco Companies is providing concrete services for the parking structure and office space at Southport on Lake Washington adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Southport hotel. Situated on the south shore of Lake Washington, the waterfront property is a mixed-use development that will consist of the three, 9-story buildings totaling 728,769 square feet of Class “A” office space and the 347-room hotel. The new construction is in addition to the 383-units of luxury, multifamily housing that was completed in 2008.

Conco Companies - Southport Parking and Office Space on Lake Washington Off-site road improvements and utility work began in January of 2015, and construction started in January 2016. Office space will be available for occupancy in 2018. The project is being developed by the Washington based company, SECO Development, INC. Project’s architect is ZGF Architects LLP, a design firm that focuses on architecture, interior design, and urban design. The general contractor is Exxel Pacific, a leading West Coast commercial construction company.

The parking structure for the hotel and office towers will provide approximately 2,120 structured parking spaces to give the complex a parking ratio of 2.7/1,000 usable square feet. Each of the buildings will have dedicated access to the parking structure from the podium lobbies.

The Southport development is in Renton, Washington, and is strategically positioned between Seattle and Bellevue as well as centrally located to the area’s largest high-tech employers in Greater Seattle. It offers direct access to Interstate 405, and is minutes away from the I-5, I-90 and SR-900. Furthermore, the Seattle International Airport is just a quick 10-minute drive. Once the project is complete, it will feature four restaurants and first floor retail space and is within walking distance of an additional 31 restaurants and 43 retail shops.

Our mission is to be the best supplier of 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. We have four regional offices serving California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Washington.

The Conco Companies is providing concrete services for a 40-story apartment building at 970 Denny Way located in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. The redevelopment project is from the Holland Partner Group and is a blend of both modern and classic styles. Holland Construction is serving as the general contractor and the Seattle-based architectural firm of Weber Thompson designed the contemporary style building.

Conco successfully completed part of our concrete services when our crews poured 4,900 cubic yards of concrete last month to form the 15,300 square foot mat foundation. In addition to the concrete, the foundation required 1.3 million pounds of rebar. The pour was done over approximately 15 hours and the concrete was supplied by CalPortland.

The core of the mixed-use tower will be constructed of 386 steel fiber-reinforced concrete coupling beams. Once it is completed, the project will consist of 468 apartments in a choice of unit sizes and configurations as well as 15,580 square feet of retail and 4 levels of sub-grade parking to accommodate 359 vehicles. The retail space along with a six-story podium will face Denny and features a brick exterior with steel canopies designed to represent the area’s industrial past. The tower’s curtain wall is designed almost entirely of tinted glass in tones of blue, grey and silver-white.

The project expects to receive LEED Silver certification. Amenities include a terrace and pavilion on top of the podium located on the Denny side of the building that will be covered on three sides to provide a temperature-controlled space. A lush, rooftop garden will offer views of Lake Union, the Space Needle, and Elliot Bay and serve as a gathering space for residents to dine and relax. The location of the building is within walking distance to the downtown Seattle area and transportation hubs. The building is expected to be ready for the first occupants by the summer of 2018.

Seattle Commercial Concrete Contractors - 970 Denny

At The Conco Companies, we are 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. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.

The Conco Companies are providing concrete services for a new office building in downtown San Francisco located at 350 Bush Street. The new 20-story high-rise will have 18 floors of office space, one lobby level, and a roof terrace as well as a two-level subgrade parking structure. In addition as the office tower will incorporate the San Francisco Mining Exchange, a historic landmark, as its primary entrance, the project also includes the “Historic Renovation of San Francisco Mining Exchange Building.”

The client on the project is the Lincoln Property Company and Hathaway Dinwiddie is serving as the general contractor. The project was designed by the architectural firm of Heller Manus Architects and integrates the terra cotta façade and the columns of the landmark building with the office tower. The plan calls for a grand lobby in the historic exchange hall as well as a galleria at the street level. Once complete, the project will include 469,000 square feet of new and renovated space and will be a balance of antique and modern. The building is seeking LEED Platinum certification and will feature a number of environmentally advanced technologies.

The Mining Exchange building was constructed in 1923 and for a short time was used as the Stock Exchange. It was designed by Miller & Pflueger, an architectural firm that designed a number of significant S.F. buildings of the time and closely resembles the New York Stock Exchange that had been constructed twenty years earlier.

Through the years, the building was used for the San Francisco Curb Exchange from 1928-1938, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce from 1938-1967, and finally the Western Title Insurance from 1967-1979. It has sat empty since 1979.

Conco’s mission is to be the best supplier of 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.

The Conco Companies is providing concrete services for The Mark, a 48-story high-rise tower in Seattle, WA that will consist of 528,000 sq. ft. of Class A+ office space, as well as a luxurious 189-room SLS hotel and spa. Conveniently located in the city’s central business district, the stunning beautifully designed tower will incorporate a wide range of “green” building features such as rain water management, photovoltaic glass and light pollution reduction. Scheduled for completion in April, 2017, the tower will bring to the area first-class office space that is highly divisible and offers 9’ 6” windows for natural light and spectacular views.

The 5,000 cubic yard mat foundation pour was completed in June, 2015 and required approximately 500 truckloads of concrete over the course of the day. The project also includes a sub-level parking structure comprised of shotcrete perimeter walls and a concrete elevator core. As of May 2016, Levels 5-11 decks have been poured and the core poured to Level 35. When the elevator core reaches Level 35, the remainder of the building steel will be erected in one continuous phase.

The building’s unique geometric facade provides exterior seismic bracing for structural safety as well as column-free floor plates. Unobstructed by columns or bracing, the 13’ 6” floor-to-floor heights will allow for individualized, open plans or heavy build-outs. The Mark is seeking LEED Gold Certification.

The SLS hotel will be a collaborative effort from the Founder and CEO Sam Nazarian, renowned designer Philippe Starck, and chef James Beard. The hotel will also include 15,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, a 5,000 sq. ft. ballroom, sky lounge and two restaurants. Adjacent to the SLS Hotel are two historic buildings. A century-old sanctuary building, the First United Methodist Church, and the Rainier Club. Founded in 1888, the Rainer Club has occupied their current building since 1904.
