The partners that collaborated on the development of the Ilani Casino and resort announced during a press conference the formation of an investment group for expanding the facility to include a 14-story, 300-room hotel. The casino’s hotel will accommodate additional space for gaming.

As the development company, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe announced the casino will receive exterior and interior updates, as well as the opening of two new restaurants. The hotel project comes on the heels of the completion of a 2,500-seat meeting and entertainment center that competes with similar dual-purpose facilities located in greater Portland, Oregon.

After the hotel opens, along with the new restaurants and additional gaming space, the Ilani property will exceed 400,000 square feet. The gaming space alone covers more than 100,000 square feet, with 17 table games and 2,500 slot machines.

As an independent contractor, Conco Companies provides shotcrete, concrete formwork, concrete pumping, concrete trucking, and concrete reinforcement services for the Ilani Casino Hotel project. Our ability to work safely and efficiently on large-scale projects helped Conco Companies receive the contract for the concrete phase of the construction project. Conco Companies has developed a reputation for rapidly adapting to the changes made for fast-paced projects such as the Ilani Casino Hotel. We started on the project in July 2021, with an expected completion date to be sometime during April of 2022.

The Conco Companies began construction on the new 100,000 SF Mt. San Antonio College (SAC) Student Center on December 10, 2020. The original center opened in 1953 on a much smaller campus and needs to be expanded and updated for Mt. SAC’s current needs. Conco is providing a multitude of concrete services including but not limited to formwork, shoring, pumping, and rebar fabrication. Working alongside Conco are the general contractor Tilden-Coil (CM), HPI Architecture, and MHP Structural Engineers.

Conco came out on top of a competitive bid process. Our approach varied drastically from that of CM. Our understanding of how to sequence the footings and tie the second-level elevated slabs into the slab on grade at level 2 were key factors in meeting an aggressive schedule. Since then we’ve proven our efforts, and have been requested for opinions on future projects that the CM is undertaking.

When open, the Mt. SAC Student Center will welcome students into an inclusive and comfortable environment that fosters student engagement. The first floor will have a convenience store and added study spots for individual students and groups. The second floor will feature a multi-cultural center, student club kitchen, and an updated room for Associated Student meetings. On all three floors will be event space and conference rooms.

Planned for substantial completion by December 22, 2021, Conco is excited to provide a much-needed space to support education and build a stronger future.

The new Santa Rosa Criminal Courthouse will use the following Conco services: concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam. The courthouse will be located on the Sonoma County Administration Campus on Ventura Avenue, north of downtown Santa Rosa, and on the cleared site where the Old Jail facility stood.

The courthouse will be 6 stories above ground and include a basement level. The lower 2 levels will contain courtrooms, general parking, and secured parking, with the upper 4 levels containing additional courtrooms and court administration offices. There will be 430 parking stalls available for daily operations within the courthouse, along with an additional 20 stalls for secured parking.

Conco is expecting to place 11,000 cubic yards total of concrete and shotcrete, and 1,900,000 pounds of reinforcing bar. Rudolph & Sletten are overseeing the complete building process, partnering with Richard Meier & Partners Architects, Englekirk Institutional engineers, and Conco commercial concrete services. Construction of the new courthouse began in June 2021, with anticipated completion in July 2023.

Alta Buena Vista – Warehouse 48 is the latest addition to Conco’s portfolio of Bay Area projects. We’re partnering with the developers at WP West Acquisitions to provide concrete services for a new waterfront development in Alameda, CA that will contain 19,000 SF of retail, 362 residential units, and 505 parking stalls. This will be encompassed in 4 stories on top of 1-story parking with a design paying homage to Alameda’s colorful history as The Island City.

Conco’s services will include concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam services. Through the build process, Conco expects to place 16,000 cubic yards of concrete, shotcrete, and Confoam, including 2,700,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement. With our decades of concrete experience, Alta Buena Vista will be another successful entry to our growing portfolio of projects spanning the Western U.S.

Conco is partnering with Signature Development Group to complete Parcel G of the Brooklyn Basin project, a new waterfront development located in Oakland, CA that will be about 64 acres large. It will be 8-stories tall, with the bottom 3 levels for garage parking and the top 5 levels for residential units. The first 2 levels of the garage will serve 45,957 SF of retail and public space, with the 3rd level providing parking for 356 residential units with 480 parking stalls.

To bring this massive project into fruition, Conco will provide concrete services including concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam. Conco estimates we’ll place about 17,000 cubic yards of concrete, as well as shotcrete and Confoam, and about 2,800,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement. As one of the larger projects Conco has worked on, we’re excited to watch the project develop from the ground up.
