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. Conco will be partnering with a local subcontractor to provide concrete pumping and placing, reinforcing, formwork, and finishing as well as construction trucking.

The Conco Companies is returning to Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport once again teaming up with Clark Construction. Conco’s Northwest division will provide concrete services to build the 450,000 sq. ft. International Arrivals Facility (IAF) building on the east side of the South Terminal Expansion (Concourse A). The new Arrivals facility will help the airport manage the increasing demand for international flights. The project also includes a 900 ft long aerial passing bridge over the existing taxi lane at a height of 85 feet (allowing planes to travel beneath) to connect arriving international passengers at the south satellite terminal to the top of Concourse A and the new space.

The aerial bridge components will be prefabricated off-site and installed within a seven-day time frame. The construction activities are taking place in an active area of the airport, requiring an additional level of coordination – and patience – for all involved. Upcoming project milestones include (all scheduled to be complete by the end of February):

PW-1 Concourse A Concrete Core Bridge Support Completion
IAF Slab on Grade Completion
PW-4 South Satellite Concrete Core Bridge Support Completion

Conco’s responsibilities on the Jewish Home of San Francisco include 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.

The $140 million, 270,000 sq. ft. new construction with 76 memory care and 114 assisted living residential units will dramatically expand the Jewish Homes facilities and service reach. Since first opening in 1891 with a dozen residents, the Jewish Home of San Francisco has worked to help older adults live, grow and flourish in the community. Incorporating the understanding that overall wellness can only be achieved when seniors’ social and emotional needs are met in addition to physical ones, architect Ankrom Moisan helped the Jewish Home translate their vision into a campus design that promotes life-long learning, engagement with nature, and independence.

During construction, Conco anticipates placing 19,000 cubic yards of concrete as well as shotcrete. The new building is slated to combine 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.
