Conco is assisting with the redevelopment of the UC Davis Orchard Park Student Housing Project, located between Russell Blvd and Orchard Park Drive. Originally built in 1964, Orchard Park provided students with families housing. In 2015, the facility was closed for redevelopment. Currently in construction, Orchard Park is expected to reopen to residents in September 2023.

The full student housing project consists of 11 residential buildings, which include graduate student commons, family commons, a mail & package delivery center, and a maintenance building. The residential buildings are 4-story with slab on grade, and all other ancillary buildings are designed to be 1-story.

Conco’s role is to provide complete concrete services including concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, and shotcrete. We expect to place 8,300 cubic yards of concrete and shotcrete, and 700,000 pounds of reinforcing bar. We’re proud to contribute to a project that will increase affordability of student housing, enhance resident life, and provide exceptional residential operations.

Conco is partnering with Clark Construction to create the Block 34 Mission Bay Parking Garage, a 9-level parking structure for the UCSF Medical Center Campus in San Francisco, CA. Conco’s services include concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, and shotcrete.

The garage will be located at the corner of Mariposa Street and 3rd Street, and designed to be as visually open as possible, allowing for higher security and easier wayfinding. It will provide 500 total parking stalls, with 371 for public and campus access, 34 accessible stalls, 31 charging stations, 48 bicycle units, and 16 motorcycle stalls. It will also have an attached Transportation Department Administration Office.

With an estimated opening day of August 2022, the garage will have about 8,600 cubic yards of concrete and shotcrete, and 2,400,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement. When viewed from a pedestrian scale, the garage will knit together with the surrounding campus buildings and neighborhood, creating a seamless addition to UCSF.

In mid-June 2021, the Conco Companies began full concrete services on the Modera Morrison project in Portland, a 36,000 SF footprint with two levels of below-grade parking and four elevated decks totaling nearly 120,000 SF. It will be a mixed-use apartment community between the Morrison and Belmont neighborhoods, providing studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes with private balconies.

Modera Morrison is designed by SERA and developed by Mill Creek Residential Trust, with KPFF as the structural engineer and Conco as the concrete services provider. Conco was selected for our expertise and exceptional turnkey concrete services and for being one of the top commercial concrete contractors in Portland. We previously worked with the Mill Creek team to finish the Modera Akoya project on time and under budget, and look forward to completing our next collaboration in Mid-December 2021.
