The Enso Village Project is a new 220-unit senior independent living facility that promotes mindful aging through the joys of environmental stewardship and appreciation of nature. It’s also the first senior living startup to be approved for “Green Bonds,” which distinguishes the project as a sustainable investment. The anticipation for this project is high, as 94% of reservations were made by prospective residents within a few months.

Conco will be servicing the concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam services. Throughout the duration of the build process, Conco expects to place 17,000 cubic yards of concrete, shotcrete, and Confoam, including 2,800,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement.

This environmentally-conscious community will contain studios, 2-bedroom units, 24 memory care units, and 30 assisted living units. Its amenities include a community room, bistro with vegetarian offerings, maker studio, salon, physical therapy clinic, guestroom, tearoom, clubroom, mail room, and wellness center. The community will also boast a restaurant and an indoor pool with a sundeck. This includes a 4-level dwelling, with 1 subgrade level of 289 parking stalls for tenants only.

The Enso Village will have seven buildings inspired by barn aesthetics, and will honor the area’s countryside roots with natural colors and rustic materials. There will also be a farming area for residents to practice mindfulness while tending and harvesting. Conco is excited to help create this Zen-inspired community, providing a thoughtful home for its future residents. It is expected to be completed in 2023.

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.

Orchard Park will have approximately 613 units holding a total of up to 1,549 beds, with the single graduate units leased by bed, and the family units leased by unit. The bed and units break down into about 189 2-bedroom family units and 1,108 graduate beds. Both family and graduate communities will have meeting space, communal kitchens, an exercise room, and flex space. The graduate community will have communal laundry units on each floor, while the family community will have in-unit washers and dryers. Additionally, the family community will have indoor and outdoor play areas for children.

As for parking solutions, Orchard Park is designed to be bicycle-oriented with focus on alternative transportation. On-site parking will be first priority for the family community, with nearby off-site parking.

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.

UCSF Block 34 Mission Bay Parking Garage - Conco

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 commercial concrete services include concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, and shotcrete. Additional construction services will be provided by Stantec Architects and KPFF Structural Engineers, Inc.

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.

The garage is part of a larger construction project, which will include a clinic building that houses an ambulatory surgery center with 14 operating rooms, and a clinic for primary care, urgent care, outpatient rehab, and more. Both the garage and clinic building will have clear arrival points and enhance the pedestrian and traffic experiences by allowing them to flow through the site. For example, outside of the garage will be designated areas for pedestrians, service vehicles, and drop offs.

Construction began April 2021, and the garage is expected to open to the public in August 2022. Conco will pour 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.

Conco provides high quality concrete pumping in San Francisco and is one of the top suppliers in the Western U.S. We started in 1959 in the Bay Area by offering clients the best value on a broad range of concrete services and products. Since then, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have regional offices serving California, Washington, and Portland.

In late April 2021, Conco Companies poured a mat foundation for the 1000 Virginia project, a 45-story mixed use tower. This tower was developed by NASH – Holland Boren & Virginia Investors and is using Conco’s concrete services for pumping, formwork, reinforcement, among others.

This project’s challenges include its location in a tight, downtown area adjacent to a school. Conco is no stranger to navigating difficult construction sites, and has often been selected for our experience in getting our teams inside to do the job. We won this project after making a competitive bid and project schedule that is proven possible by our past projects across the Western U.S.

When completed, 1000 Virginia will include 454 residential units and 1,000 sf of retail space. It will also include 6 levels of underground and 3 levels of aboveground parking to accommodate 242 vehicles and 397 bicycles. Conco is on track to complete our portion of the job in October 2022, making this our 4th 40+ story tower with Holland Construction, Inc. and 6th 40+ story tower to grace Seattle’s skyline.

In May 2020, The Conco Companies topped out Angelo Tower, which is part of a project that produced multiple low-income housing units in the Vancouver community. Also contributing to the project were Robertson & Olsen Construction, Wilson Architects PLLC, and KGA Consulting Engineers.

Conco was selected to contribute to the concrete portion of the project because of our expertise in:

Concrete pumping
Horizontal elevated-deck formwork
Vertical cast-in-place formwork
Engineering
Detailing
Reinforcing supply & fabrication
Trucking

The project scope included pouring Slab on Grade (SOG), three elevated decks, and three elevated Slab on Metal Decks (SOMDs). This totaled to a project size of 150,000 SF. The challenges of this project included pouring multiple mat foundations, and placing round architectural columns for a high-end appearance.

Conco began the project in November 2019 and adjusted our process accordingly to COVID-19 guidelines. The Angelo Project is one of the first projects we worked on during the pandemic, and one of many that will be completed quickly and safely.
