Over the past several years The Waterfront Vancouver has experienced an expansive revitalization, bringing in multiple office, retail, and residential buildings. Located on Block 4 of the development, Hotel Indigo and Kirkland Tower will be the sixth and seventh towers to go up along the riverside and will be the largest to date in the development. At a cost of $100 million, the Hotel Indigo and Kirkland Tower project will add an eight-story hotel, a 12-story condominium, four restaurants, and 17,000 square feet of retail space to The Waterfront Vancouver.

The development company and general contractor worked with the Conco Companies to provide concrete services due to Conco’s ability to perform large scale work in a timely manner – skills that are paramount for the massive size and investment of the Indigo Hotel and Kirkland Tower project. Since August 2018, Conco has provided concrete pumping and finishing, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services. With the target top-out date of mid-October 2019, Conco is completing one deck pour every 4-5 days, with each deck up to Level 8 requiring three pours. In addition to the mat foundation and decks, Conco will also complete two concrete stair cores and an elevator core to round out their work on the project.

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. For their part, Conco will provide concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services.

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):

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on a 12-story, 145-foot tall mixed-use building in Portland, OR. Conco duties will include concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, shotcrete, formwork, and construction trucking. As the job requires an aggressive schedule, we will need to use multiple placing booms.

The Modera Glisan will offer 291 residential units on the upper floors and retail and commercial space at ground level that will face all four adjacent streets. In addition the Modera Glisan will have an underground parking garage with an estimated 223 parking spots as well as long term parking for 445 bicycles. Materials for the exterior will include granite colored brick, metal panel in two colors, an aluminum storefront, and glass balcony railings.

In addition to the Modera Glisan, Conco has just started another high-rise project directly across the street called 14th & Glisan that is being developed by the Holland Partner Group.
