Conco is providing a wide range of concrete services for Viamonte, a new continuing care retirement community. For Conco, this work includes concrete finishing, concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, construction trucking and shotcrete services. This privately funded, market-rate senior community will serve the local areas with a social and community gathering focus.

The project features one and two bedroom units with 15 distinct floor plans that range from 750 to 1,525 sq. ft. Other amenities include common areas situated both inside and outside the building, resident food service facilities, staff support areas, and a guest and staff parking garage. Known for its caliber of design, HKIT Architects received the 2016 Gold Nugget Award of Merit for “Best Senior Housing Community – On the Boards” in recognition of their innovation and design excellence while managing the complex issues of a previous project. Viamonte’s design follows an elegant, contemporary style that fits seamlessly within the neighboring buildings. The buildings boast eye-catching facades that have lively patterns and recesses that are highlighted by balconies. The largest units are located at the corners of the building and have two bedrooms with raised ceilings and clerestory windows. Viamonte will provide levels of care that include independent apartments, assisted livings units, and memory care services.

Conco will be placing approximately 30,000 cubic yards of concrete as well as shotcrete for the building, in addition to providing over 5,000,000 pounds of rebar and post tension reinforcement. The 174 units sit on a 3.8 acre site with a total building area of 297,216 sq. ft. Additionally, Viamonte attained its LEED for Homes Certification. This large site allows residents the ability to take scenic one-mile walks around the block and is conveniently located near The Orchards, a nearby shopping center with dining options. There is also a state-of-the-art fitness facility, as well as a spa, to provide dynamic living options for residents.

Conco is one of the foremost suppliers of concrete services for the Western U.S. We got our start in 1959 in the Bay Area by offering clients the best value on a broad range of concrete services and products.  Since that time, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have regional offices serving California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Washington.
