The Conco Companies is providing concrete reinforcement and shotcrete placement services for the Westfield Valley Fair Podium and Garage Expansion Project in Santa Clara, CA. The project is being developed by the Century City based owner Westfield Design & Construction and is designed by JPRA Architects. The McCarthy Building Company is the general contractor and Desimone Consulting Engineers is the structural engineer. This is an extremely large project that consists of a multi-faceted open and covered mall expansion of in-line shop spaces for between 70 to 100 stores along with a 150,000 sq. ft. Bloomingdale’s. The project also includes 6-levels of below grade parking with 1,300 stalls and roof-top parking, which will add an additional 567,495 sq. ft. to the already existing structure. The project is located off Stevens Creek Blvd. and N. Winchester Blvd.

Conco’s responsibilities on the project include providing our reinforcement and shotcrete services. During the course of the project, we will provide 15,500,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement as well as 2,955 cubic yards of shotcrete. The challenges of the Westfield Valley Fair Expansion lie not only in the magnitude of the project but with the aggressive schedule and anticipated shortage of resources. Conco began work on the project in June of 2017 and we will complete our end of the job in July, 2018.

In total the entire Westfield Valley Fair Expansion will encompass 2.2 million square feet and cost an estimated $1.1 billion. Along with the new Bloomingdale’s, the mall will have a high-end theater, a new dining district in the open air promenade and more retail stores. The project is expected to be finished in 2019.

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western United States and to bring expertise, experience and quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, parking structures, educational, and other construction development. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.

The Conco Companies are busy finishing up work on a new 11-story hotel in downtown San Francisco. The 701 3^rd Street Hyatt Place project is near AT&T Park and is being developed by its owner, the Four One Five, LLC c/o Stonebridge Companies. The general contractor is Charles Pankow Builders and the architect is Stanton Architecture. DCI Engineers is the project’s structural engineer. The 230 room, 103,000 sq. ft. hotel is expected to receive LEED Platinum certification for features that include a grey water system, vegetated roofs, and highly sustainable mechanical systems.

Conco began work on the project in May of 2017 and expects to finish in January, 2018. Our job responsibilities included providing concrete reinforcement, pumping, formwork, finishing, shotcrete and Design/Build services. We were selected for the job due to our understanding and commitment to the project as well as our longstanding relationship with the general contractor, Charles Pankow Builders, who is familiar with our high standards. The project has provided challenges along the way due to the logistics of its close location to AT&T Park as well as its aggressive schedule; and we are proud to say we have been more than able to meet all of the challenges.

The building will offer a landscaped public courtyard at ground level as well as a terrace on the 9th floor and a vegetated rooftop terrace that are reserved for hotel guests. In addition there will be approximately 2,000 gross square feet of ground floor retail space and 15 below‐grade off‐street parking spaces. As the majority of construction in San Francisco recently has been office buildings and apartment towers, hotels are in high demand and a new hotel development will be most welcomed.

At The Conco Companies, we are one of the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offer a wide range of quality services and products. Our experience includes providing services for commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.

The entire Santana Row is an upscale, mixed-use village and is one of the most popular areas to live, work, dine and shop in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. Along with Class-A office space, the village offers a boutique hotel, shops, restaurants, spas, salons, and luxury apartments.
