Downtown Portland is slated to welcome a unique new mid-rise hotel in summer of 2020 designed by DLR Group Architecture in partnership with Graves Hospitality and KCB Realty. The 12-story Moxy Hotel in Portland has a small 7,500 square foot building footprint but will encompass 71,232 square feet of interior space. The Moxy Hotel will feature 197 guest rooms and a slew of modern amenities. While the guest rooms boast floor-to-ceiling glass walls with views of Mt. Hood, the ground floor will seamlessly integrate into the surrounding lively Pearl District streets with large operable glass walls, a bar and lounge area, and food carts.

Starting June of 2019, the Conco Companies began providing a variety of commercial concrete services for the Moxy Hotel project. Conco was contracted as a result of a competitive qualified bidder selection process which evaluated their past experience, skilled teams, their record of safety on projects, competitive cost, and overall approach to the project. Additionally, given their reputation for solving the challenges presented by any size project, Conco is well equipped to overcome the obstacles that come with downtown construction and a constrained job site.

The city of Denver has long been a popular travel destination and will now host the luxury hotel chain Thompson Hotels on the dynamic 16th Street Mall in downtown. The Thompson Denver will sit at 16th and Market Street and the project is slated for completion in October 2020. Thompson Hotels is known for its upscale amenities located in popular metropolitan and tourism hubs across North America such as New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Toronto, Cabo San Lucas,
and Playa del Carmen. The Mile High City is a natural addition to their roster of hotel sites and the 13-story Thompson Hotel project will be an exciting new feature of Denver’s hospitality offerings.

T2 Development awarded the contract for concrete services to The Conco Companies due to their expertise in the preconstruction, planning, and VE stages of project development, where Conco’s efforts and availability throughout the bidding process fostered strong working relationships with the design team, general contractor, and development team. For their part of the Thompson Hotel project, Conco will be providing 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.

Downtown Denver is slated to receive two new high-end multi-family residential buildings in the Healthcare District with construction beginning in July 2019. The Broadstone Uptown project will feature two nine-story structures with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments as well as below-grade parking for each building. Designed by Shear Adkins Rockmore Architects, the nearly identical buildings will sit adjacent to each other on the corner of 18th and Marion Streets and will bring much needed residential units to the growing city.

The Conco Companies worked closely with the development teams for over a year during the planning phase of the Broadstone Uptown project and has been contracted to provide a range of concrete services for the two structures beginning in July 2019. The scope of work for Conco’s turnkey structural concrete services include mat slab foundations, slab on grade, shotcrete foundation walls, cast-in-place columns, elevator and stair core walls in two locations in each building, elevated post-tensioned structural slabs and Epicore topping slabs for the cast-in-place rooftop slabs.

The Grand is a massive project over a dozen years in the making and broke ground in May 2019 in the Bunker Hill area of downtown Los Angeles. The mixed-use development will feature a 39 story residential tower and a 20 story Equinox Hotel connected by a courtyard, as well as a 176,000 square feet of retail space with shops, restaurants, and a movie theater complex. The Grand project is a public-private partnership under the helm of developer Related Companies and designed by architect Frank Gehry, who also designed the adjacent Disney Music Hall. Gehry aimed for the structures to complement each other, incorporating similar materials such as metallic cladding into the towers’ design. The residential tower will have over 400 units with over 80 units set aside for low-income residents, while the Equinox hotel boasts 309 guest rooms.

For their part in The Grand development, the Conco Companies will be providing structural concrete forming, placement and finishing, concrete pumping services, and shotcrete services.

After years of anticipation for the commencement of construction, the project has a fast schedule and requires three significant mat pours for a combined 25,500 cubic yards of concrete. As a result, Conco was contracted to deliver their concrete services due to their reputation for keeping large-scale projects such as The Grand on time and on budget.

Update:

As of June 2020, Conco is forming the structural decks on Level 14 on Tower 2 and Level 12 on Tower 1. Total concrete poured is currently at 83,201 cubic yards for the foundations, structural slabs, columns and walls, and shotcrete. With a project peak point of 220 on-site employees and over 364,000 man-hours worked, The Conco Companies is using two pump stations and five concrete placing booms to complete the project.
