The Conco Companies recently provided concrete services on the Avenue One Project in San Jose, CA for the San Ramon based owner/developer Lennar. The buildings were designed by the KTGY Architecture + Planning firm and the general contractor was Lennar. Harris & Sloan Consulting Group was the structural engineer. The project consists of two residential buildings with a total of 107 units as well as two levels of below grade parking to accommodate 218 vehicles for each building. The project is located at the corner of Charlotte Drive in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Conco’s responsibilities on the Avenue One Project included providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, and shotcrete services. During the course of the project, we placed approximately 8,000 cubic yards of concrete along with shotcrete. We also provided 1,000,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement. Conco crews began work on the project in November 2016 and our end of the job was completed in December 2017.

Avenue One offers the convenience of walkability and building’s residents can easily walk to nearby restaurants and retail stores. San Jose itself offers residents a mild climate as well as thousands of acres of parks and trails, entertainment venues, and educational and art.

Conco also had the opportunity to work with the project’s architect, KTGY Architecture + Planning on a couple of mixed-use residential towers in Oakland’s Historic Jack London Square Waterfront Warehouse District. In fact KTGY won a Gold Nugget Merit Award for the 4^th & Madison project in the category of “Best on the Boards Multifamily Community.” We feel honored to work alongside many of the most respected firms in the industry.

The Conco Companies recently completed concrete services on two new residential construction projects in downtown Stockton and Oakland, CA. Both projects provide much needed housing to the areas and offer street-level retail and commercial space as well as lots of open space.

High Rise Second Place Winner for the Premiere on Pine

The residential tower, Premiere on Pine (formerly known as 815 Pine) is a Second Place Winner of the American Concrete Institute’s 2017 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards in the High Rise category. This is quite an honor as there were only 12 winners from around the world. The winners were recognized at the “Celebrating Concrete Innovation and Excellence Across the Globe” Awards Gala during the ACI Concrete Convention and Exposition. Recipients of the award for the Premiere on Pine’s project include its owner and developer, Holland Partner Group; architect, Weber Thompson Architects; engineering firm, Cary Kopcznyski & Company; general contractor, Holland construction Inc.; and concrete contractor, The Conco Companies.

815 Pine St, Seattle, WA — Premiere on Pine (formerly known as 815 Pine), won second place of the American Concrete Institute’s 2017 Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards in the High Rise category.

The tower’s use of high-strength concrete and reinforcing steel created maximum floor space for the small site and is the first building in Seattle to have a specified concrete strength of 15,000 psi in its columns. Along with showcasing the technological advancements in the concrete industry over the last couple of decades, it allowed the high-strength columns to be smaller than those found in similarly sized projects. Conco is extremely honored to receive the award from the ACI. We are proud to have been selected for this innovative project and to have been a part of this exceptional team.

At The Conco Companies, we pride ourselves on finding solutions that meet and in some cases exceed the challenging demands of our projects. One example is 970 Denny, a 44-story apartment building under construction in the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. The redevelopment project is from the Holland Partner Group and Holland Construction is serving as the General Contractor.

Up until now, Conco had been pleased to construct a complete floor on a 5-day cycle using a single shift such as we did on the 815 Pine project, another 40 story residential tower in downtown Seattle. Now we are proud to report that on the 970 Denny, we successfully achieve a 4-day cycle with a single shift and without working Saturdays! The 970 Denny project has 6 levels of below-ground parking and rises 44 floors above the street. We achieved the 4-day cycle on levels 26,27 and 30 to 35, for a total of 8 floors.

As Gerard McGlynn, Holland Constructions’ Regional General Superintendent, notes it was only a few years ago that 6-day and 5-day deck cycles were barely achievable and typically required overtime and weekend work. He wholeheartedly commended the entire 970 team for proving that “with planning, collaboration among subcontractors and hard work this elusive 4-day cycle is achievable within a work week.”

McGlynn also instructed the 970 team to plot out the new hourly 4-day deck cycle poster. At the next subcontractor meeting; the old and now outdated 5-day cycle will ceremoniously be torn down and replaced with the new 4-day cycle. With this pace, we anticipate topping out at R4 the first week in January, 2018.

Conco has built a reputation for delivering projects on time and on budget. Often, we are selected as much for our premium concrete services as for our ability to accelerate the construction process and get the job done regardless of the challenges. By working closely with general contractors and owners, Conco strives to find solutions that meet the unique demands of each of our projects.

Conco is one of the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offers a wide range of quality services and products. 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 is providing a full range of concrete services on a 12-story, 145-foot tall mixed-use building in Portland, OR. 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, a metal panel in two colors, an aluminum storefront, and glass balcony railings.

The project is being developed by the Mill Creek Resident Trust Company and the G.C. is MCRT PNW Construction, LLC. The architect is SERA Design and Architecture, Inc. and KPFF is the structural engineer.

Conco’s duties will include concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, shotcrete, and formwork. As the job requires an aggressive schedule, we will need to use multiple placing booms.

In addition to the Modera Glisan, Conco has just started another high-rise project directly across the street called 14^th & Glisan that is being developed by the Holland Partner Group. We are extremely pleased to have secured two such high profile projects in the area as we just officially opened our Portland office in April of this year. Also, this will be our first turn-key project with a new client.

The project site encompasses three-quarters of the block of NW Glisan St., 14th Ave, Hoyt St. and 15th. The L-shaped Modera Glisan will wrap around the historic Fire Station #3, which will remain on the site and be extensively renovated including seismic upgrades. Along Hoyt St, the building will be the full 12-stories high but drop to 10 stories along 14^th to blend in with the nearby Historic District. The high-rise will also offer an exterior terrace on top of the 10^th story that includes a pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and hammocks. At the 12 floor, there will be a common room as well and another terrace.
