In November 2020, The Conco Companies completed its concrete services for 400 University @ Rainier Square, a 10-story office building in downtown Seattle. We were selected based on our experience with similar tower structures in the Seattle market. This building, which was developed by Wright Runstad & Company, required full concrete services ranging from concrete pumping to concrete reinforcement.

This project’s challenges included its proximity to two active construction sites, each with different general contractors. Additional challenges included coordinating our shoring/re-shoring systems, deliveries, safe personnel egress, and COVID checkpoints with the operations of adjacent projects. Conco cooperated with the general contractors to ensure their projects were completed safely and efficiently.

400 University @ Rainier Square provides more than office space; it offers retail shopping opportunities at street level. Overall, it has a footprint of 17,400 SF that slims to 9,250 SF at the tower levels, and 106,000 SF of elevated deck. It’s also part of the larger Rainier Project, which creates a trio of structures that include Seattle’s 2nd tallest building.

Conco is proud to have contributed to a high-profile milestone in the life of Seattle’s skyline, and will continue to help develop the Seattle area.

Conco is one of the foremost suppliers of concrete services for 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.

From June 2019 to November 2019, The Conco Companies helped build the Vancouver Center, a 26,500 SF mixed-use apartment complex in downtown Vancouver. The developer was Holland Partner Group, with KPFF Consulting Engineers in charge of structural engineering and Ankrom Moisan Architects in charge of the architecture. Conco provided the following services: concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, construction trucking, and shotcrete.

The Vancouver Center is a LEED certified, retrofit podium-type structure that’s a continuation of an existing elevated-deck parking structure. Conco was tasked with adding another elevated deck and retro-fitting the existing deck.

Additionally, Conco was tasked with keeping the parking structure open for use during construction. This was one of the most difficult parts of the project, but thanks to our engineers, we were able to cast the elevated deck above and keep the parking structure open.

The Vancouver Center is now open and offering apartment units to Vancouver residents. Conco is proud to have aided the development of this quickly growing downtown community.

In late November 2020, The Conco Companies began providing concrete services for the construction of the EBS Building, a high-end residential living space in Portland, OR. Conco was selected for our expertise in delivering exceptional concrete services and navigating jobsites with limited space. We will provide a range of services, including pumping, reinforcement, formwork, placement, and detailing.

The EBS Building consists of a 12,500 SF footprint, with one level of below-grade parking, a back-of-house working area, and four elevated decks. The project’s total size is 55,000 SF with concrete slabs and slab-on grade.

This project presents several challenges for construction. It’s located on a major thoroughfare in one of Portland’s busiest residential and commercial districts. This makes the jobsite footprint and laydown area extremely limited in access for formwork, reinforcement fabrication, pumping activities, and construction deliveries. Thanks to the thorough planning of our workers, Conco is well underway with the project.

When completed in early June 2021, the EBS Building will expand an established and continually evolving community located in the heart of Portland. It will also be another stunning addition to Conco’s growing portfolio of Portland projects.

In late January 2021, The Conco Companies is scheduled to provide a full concrete services package for Chesterfield Apartments, an affordable housing community in south Los Angeles. Services include formwork, reinforcement, concrete pumping, shotcrete, and finishing services. Conco will also install a mat slab foundation at the whole footprint of the lot, shotcrete columns, and walls with board finish.

Chesterfield Apartments will be a 6-story building containing 43 residential affordable units, located near Exposition Park. The residential units will be studios ranging from 400 to 415 square feet, and one will be a 836 square feet, 2-bedroom manager’s unit. Also featured in the building are a common area for onsite property management offices, bicycle storage room, community room, community laundry facilities, and outdoor landscaped areas. These amenities will enhance the living standard for low-income and homeless residents.

This project is developed by Wakeland Housing, managed by RD Olson Construction, and is part of the passed Proposition HHH, a $1.2 Billion bond that was designed to provide help and housing to homeless and low income residents across Los Angeles.

Chesterfield Apartments will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2022, and is one of Conco’s most recent affordable housing projects.
