Affordable housing projects are built with purpose, And Midway Village Phase II is no exception.

Conco partnered with Devcon Construction on the next phase of Midway Village in Daly City, delivering 113 new affordable apartment homes and completing a 555-unit affordable housing community. This phase includes two new building footprints, integrated childcare spaces, and enhanced architectural elements designed to support families and strengthen the neighborhood.

Midway Village Phase II

Big things are taking shape on the waterfront. At 557 E. Bayshore, Conco is delivering the concrete backbone for a 183,450 SF development that will redefine this corner of Redwood City.

This job is all about scale and strategy:
• 162,792 LF of PT cable
• Over 1.27 million lbs of rebar across garage + residential
• 8,165 CY of concrete placed with precision
The structure will rise as a five-story garage wrapped by a five-story residential community, adding 222 new homes with rare views overlooking the Bair Island State Marine Park and our great San Francisco Bay. With active surroundings, and a complex layout, every pour and placement demands tight coordination and technical focus.

We’re excited to share a look at our work on the One Meadow Glen residential project in downtown Millbrae!

Our team provided the structural concrete for this major development delivering over 13,000 cubic yards of concrete and supporting a 418,352 SF building that will soon welcome new residents.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to SBI Builders Inc. for the amazing collaboration on this project. The SBI team went above and beyond, Creating this video recognizing Conco’s incredible work. thank you, SBI Builders Inc!

We especially appreciated these kind words from Mauricio Garcia, Superintendent at SBI Builders:

“I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible work you all do. Especially the effort behind the scenes from the office! From coordination to logistics, keeping the schedule on point, and managing all the details that often go unnoticed, your dedication truly makes the project run smoothly.”

More progress updates to come. We’re proud to help build the future of Millbrae!

On October 26, 2023, the ACI So Cal Chapter hosted its prestigious Concrete Awards in Downtown LA, recognizing outstanding achievements in the field. Conco proudly received honors for two remarkable projects: the Mt. SAC Student Center and The Grand.

The Mt. SAC Student Center was specifically acknowledged for its excellence in the Low-Rise Building category. Notably, this project boasts a sophisticated foundation system strategically distributed across various elevations on two different levels. The cantilevered nonisometric roof slab required thousands of Square Feet of shoring to be installed, maintained, and removed. However, once complete, the red roof capping the 18,000 Cubic Yards of concrete was quite iconic for this community college. Designed to provide an inclusive and inviting atmosphere fostering student engagement, the first floor will feature a convenience store and additional study spaces for both individual and group use. Kudos to the entire team, including Tilden Coil, MHP Structural Engineers, CEMEX, and HPI Architects.

Meanwhile, The Grand-LA received accolades for its excellence in the High-Rise category. This ambitious project involved three substantial mat pours, totaling an impressive 25,500 cubic yards of concrete. The cumulative concrete poured thus far stands at a remarkable 83,201 cubic yards, covering foundations, structural slabs, columns, walls, and shotcrete. The mixed-use development includes a 39-story residential tower, a 20-story Equinox Hotel connected by a courtyard, and 176,000 square feet of retail space featuring shops, restaurants, and a movie theater complex. Developed through a public-private partnership and spearheaded by Related Companies, with design by renowned architect Frank Gehry (also responsible for the adjacent Disney Music Hall), The Grand project stands as a testament to collaborative excellence.

Congratulations to the entire team, which includes AECOM, DCI Engineers, Catalina Pacific, and Gehry Partners, LLP.

The Conco Companies has been hard at work on The Port of Vancouver Terminal 1 project in Vancouver, Washington. This project is a mixed-use development that will include office, retail, and hotel spaces. The building consists of 120,000 square feet of slab on grade with a 5-story parking garage. At Level 6, it splits into two towers that will be connected by a skybridge.

Another turn-key project for Conco, we are providing reinforcing, formworks, concrete pumping, place and finish work, and shotcrete as well. For this project Conco will pour 711,390 sq. feet of deck on this project, which is anticipated to be completed in September 2024. There will be more than 8 million pounds of rebar placed on this project, in addition to almost 392,000 linear feet of cable and 35,370 cubic yards of concrete.

Jeremy Bacon, Project Manager at Conco for 9 years, says “The most interesting part of this project to me is the design. As part of that design, board formed columns, walls, and exposed concrete beams along the south and west sides of the building will highlight Conco’s craftmanship in the area for years to come.”

The Port of Vancouver, Terminal 1 takes up two city blocks and is over a spread of 120,000 sf. The project will be split into two separate towers after the parking Levels are complete. To meet the scheduled durations, Conco has two crews performing work at the same time. Scheduling and coordination between two separate crews, the GC and MEP subs takes a lot of effort. Kevin Clark, General Foreman for this project praised our crews by saying “Manpower management has been a great accomplishment between foremen of all the trades. Daily meetings between the trades have allowed for effortless teamwork. We all know each other’s goals which helps to maintain continuity on the project. Robertson and Olson’s Superintendent, Todd Howem has been a huge help coordinating all of the subcontractors. ”

Paul Gannon is the project Superintendent for The Port of Vancouver Terminal 1 and has worked for Conco for 10 years. He found the most interesting part of this project to be “The sheer size of the building! That, coupled with the amount of rebar that has been placed, especially in the foundations, is really something.” Paul also felt that the scheduling of this job posed a challenge but said that “A unique accomplishment of this job was maintaining the schedule while basically building two buildings at the same time! The transitioning of foundations to slab on grade and then into elevated decks was challenging on this large footprint.”

When this project is complete ZoomInfo, a Vancouver-based company, will move into both towers of Terminal 1, making the location it’s global headquarters.
