The Conco Companies were awarded the concrete contract for a steel-and-glass high-rise apartment building in North San Jose, CA. Once complete, the Century Center Towers will be the tallest residential project in the area, with two 12-story towers, coming off of one giant floor plan. The project is being developed in partnership with the Barry Swenson Builder and the Essex Property Trust on the $170 million, 574,000 square feet project. Conco is providing concrete services on the two towers as well as for the construction of a 494-car parking structure. Our time-lapsed YouTube video demonstrates the final 6,650 yard mat foundation pour that we did for the property in January 2015. The tight logistics of the downtown site presented a significant hurdle to the Conco team. In spite of the obstacles, Conco deployed five boom pumps and was able to place all of the concrete in only 11 1/2 hours!

The Conco Companies are providing all of the concrete and reinforcement services for the $20.5 million De La Salle H.S. STREAM Innovation Center. The 27,288 square foot, 2-story building will incorporate both “green” design and construction. The multi-disciplinary building broke ground in June, 2014 and is scheduled to open August, 2015. The Center will expand teaching and learning opportunities by allowing the school to increase course offerings to prepare students for a rapidly changing global job market. STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.

This project had to be completed in a way that did not interfere with the busy school schedule and extracurricular activities associated with a highly reputable high school. Therefore, a large mat foundation pour was completed on Saturday and elevated concrete slabs were scheduled around important events.

The Conco Companies were awarded the complete concrete and reinforcement contract for a new luxury, multi-family apartment building in Walnut Creek, CA. The 6-story, Class A-designed cast-in-place concrete structure consists of 162,064+/- SF of total gross floor space. Also included in the project are two levels of gated parking with 135 spaces below the structure. The decks were post-tensioned concrete and stud rail assemblies were utilized to reduce rebar congestion and increase design flexibility.

Located in downtown Walnut Creek, the tight logistics created access challenges in meeting the expedited schedule. Conco operated a self-erecting tower crane that helped us attain the demands of the job. The Arroyo is scheduled to open for occupancy in the summer of 2015.

The Conco Companies are providing concrete services for the new Stadium Tech Center located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The 6-story, speculative Class A office building broke ground in March, 2014 and is expected to be completed in October, 2015. Spear Street Capital, the San Francisco-based real estate investment company is developing the property and ARC TEC is the architect. Incorporating cutting edge architectural details, the building will feature 35,000 – 38,000 sq. ft. floor plates with a flexible open plan, floor to ceiling glass with 360 degree views and an energy-efficient design.

As part of the project, Conco is constructing the parking structure, which is one level of podium parking and 3 levels of below grade parking for a total of 1,084 spaces. In addition we will provide 442,165 square feet of cast-in-place slabs, 169,014 square feet of slab-on-metal deck, and 35,054 cubic yards of concrete. Floors will have a slab-to-slab height of 14′ – 16′. The building sits on a 12.35 acre site and is prequalified for LEED certification.Test

The Conco Companies are providing concrete services for the new U.S. Federal Courthouse under construction in Downtown Los Angeles. Known as the “Cube” for its unique shape, the $400 million project will be one of the safest buildings in terms of bomb threats or earthquakes with an innovative design that permits the cubic volume to “float” over a stone base. The project broke ground in August 2013 and is scheduled to be finished in 2016. Located on a 3.6-acre site, the 10-story courthouse will include 24 courtrooms and 32 chambers for judges as well as housing district judges, jury assembly facilities, and offices for the U.S. Marshals. The 630,000 GSF building will also have one level of below-grade parking.

To address the issue of the courthouse’s California location, seismic design was a part of the structural engineering process. SOM designed and engineered a state-of-the-art roof truss system to control lateral drifts. The project has already earned a Green Good Design award for Green Architecture in 2014.
