The Conco Companies’ “one stop” shop approach is being fully utilized in the construction of a new 236,000 gross square foot office and retail building in San Jose, CA. The luxury Santana Row Lot 11 is being developed by Federal Realty and Westwood Development Partners with DevCon Construction serving as the General Contractor. Features of the Class “A”, 6-story building includes 13-foot ceilings, outdoor terraces, and an onsite café as well as a four-level underground parking garage. Santana Row Lot 11 is targeting LEED Gold certification and scheduled to be completed in 2016.

Conco’s extensive scope of responsibilities takes full advantage of our broad range of expertise. For the Santana Row project, we will provide all of the formwork, reinforcing, stud rail fabrication, post tension, shotcrete, pumping and belting services. In addition we will be employing our Direct Feed capabilities to save time and labor costs.

During the course of the project, we expect to finish 585,000 square feet of concrete as well as pump 26,000 cubic yards of concrete and 2,000 cubic yards of shotcrete. Furthermore, Conco will provide 5,000,000 lbs. of reinforcing steel and 240,000 lbs. of post-tensioning.

Reliable Trucking Company, owned and operated by The Conco Companies, will transport the equipment and materials.

The VA Mental Health and Research building currently under construction in Seattle is a prime example of the benefits The Conco Companies bring to a project with our ability to provide a full range of concrete services. Conco is providing all of the concrete pumping, formwork, place and finish and shotcrete services for the 203,000 square foot project as well as supplying the reinforcement. Our unique ability to supply both the rebar and formwork eliminates the need for coordination between different suppliers to better meet the extremely tight timeline required of the project.

The 6-story building will be comprised of a steel frame with concrete fill on metal decks at all elevated levels, buckling restrained braced frames grounded on shallow spread footings, concrete cast-in-place walls, and green roofs. Since the entire façade is made up of a customized wall system, the project presents a distinct challenge with its need for high cast in place and architectural walls.

Highlights of the building include energy-efficient systems, two landscaped indoor courtyards, a rainwater-harvesting system for irrigation, and a grass covered rooftop. The project is expected to be completed in late 2017 and achieve LEED Silver certification.
