The Marriott Hotel is slated to open a new franchise, the Moxy Hotel in Portland, in the Pearl District in summer of 2020. Construction began in June 2019 on the new project and promises to bring a unique, contemporary take on the hotel experience to the lively neighborhood in downtown Portland. Several notable groups have come together to develop and execute the project, including development company Graves Hospitality, DLR Group Architecture, and Portland commercial concrete contractors The Conco Companies.

A Franchise for the Young and Young-at-Heart

As a new franchise from the well-known Marriott Hotel, the Moxy Hotel is looking to attract a new sector of hotel guests. The stylish interiors, contemporary designs, and vibrant urban locations are being offered at an affordable price for leisure travelers and business professionals alike. With the vision of immersing guests in the cityscape around them while providing smart, modern accommodations, the Moxy Hotel boasts several unique features. The 197 guest rooms will offer views of the city and Mt. Hood through floor-to-ceiling glass walls in their corridors, while the hotel’s public spaces will offer a range of sought-after amenities. The Moxy Hotel promises an open and engaging ground floor space that is designed to draw guests out into the surrounding city. The space will feature large operable glass walls, a full-service bar and lounge area, game rooms, and food carts. Additionally, the exterior is designed with deep canopies extending over the sidewalk for food cart goers to enjoy the offerings no matter the weather.

A Challenging Site for The Moxy Hotel

This exciting project is not only unique in its vision, but also in its dimensions. Situated on less than a quarter of a block, the 12-story hotel has a dainty building footprint. Benjamin Graves, the president and CEO of Graves Hospitality said of the project, “We’re creating an amazing addition to this neighborhood by defying the unthinkable and building 71,232 square feet of ground-up construction on an incredibly compact 7,500 square foot site.” In order to overcome this challenge of construction, the Conco Companies was brought on to provide an array of concrete services. Known for their ability to execute complex projects on time and on budget, Conco will provide concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement and rebar, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services for the Moxy Hotel.

Seattle commercial concrete contractors, The Conco Companies, is working with Kirkland Developers, Kirkland Construction Group, and OTAK Architects to bring an immense and exciting new project to The Waterfront Vancouver development.

An Evolution by the Riverside

The waterfront district in downtown Vancouver, Washington has taken many shapes during its lifetime. Once a hub of lumber mills and shipping depots in the 19th century, then a set of shipyards in the early and mid-20th century that produced ships for World Wars I and II, and lastly the home to a paper mill that closed in the 1990s – this industrial area next to the Columbia River has undergone many iterations. None, however, have been quite as dramatic a shift as the district’s newest conception: The Waterfront Vancouver. The Waterfront Vancouver is a massive redevelopment and revitalization project that has turned this industrial area into a bustling mixed-use development that includes residential, commercial, and retail space.

Among the many new buildings rising along the river are Hotel Indigo and Kirkland Tower, the largest project to date in the development. The $100 million project includes not only the four-star, eight-story hotel and the 12-story residential tower with condominiums, but also 17,000 square feet of retail space and multiple high-end dining facilities. Hotel Indigo boasts luxe amenities such as concierge services, valet, dry cleaning, and a dog-washing station, while Kirkland Tower will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, where residents can also utilize the amenities of the hotel.

Comprehensive Concrete Services for a Large-Scale Project

To begin construction on the project, the Conco Companies provided a 33,357 square foot concrete mat foundation ranging in thickness from four feet to just under six feet and designed to contend with the high water table at the waterfront. In addition to the foundation, Conco will also provide two concrete stair cores and an elevator core, as well as the decks. With the target top-out date of mid-December 2019, Conco is completing one deck pour every 4-5 days, with each deck up to the eighth level requiring three pours to finish. Altogether, Conco will provide the concrete pumping and finishing, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, and shotcrete services for the massive project.

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring expertise and incomparable quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, educational, parking structures, public works projects, and other development.

Thompson Hotel - Denver

Dubbed the Mile High City and situated just an hour east of the famous Rocky Mountains, Denver is Colorado’s capital and most populous city. Given its dual characteristics as a major metropolitan area and its proximity to the ski slopes and hiking trails of the mountains, Denver is a go-to tourist destination for millions of people every year. To meet the high demand of visitors wanting to experience all the city has to offer, Denver cultivated a robust tourism and hospitality industry that will soon welcome the luxury hotel chain Thompson Hotels into its fold.

Beginning construction in 2019, the Thompson Hotel project is an exciting collaboration of T2 Development, architects DLR Group, Layton Construction, and Denver commercial concrete contractors, The Conco Companies. The hotel will be on the 16th Street Mall, a booming commercial district in the heart of the city with restaurants, bars, retail shops, businesses, and arts and entertainment complexes. The upscale hotel will take the place of a surface parking lot and will loft to a height of 13 stories with over 200 rooms. Its high-end amenities will include an outdoor sky patio and fireplace, a full-service restaurant and bar on the street level, a rooftop bar with private event rooms, and meeting and event spaces situated throughout the hotel.

While the hotel itself will fit right into the dynamic 16th Street Mall, its location will pose some challenges for its construction. Primarily, the close proximity to the many other businesses and ongoing activities of the area will constrain access to the construction site and require strategic use of large equipment. For this reason, the Conco Companies is an ideal partner in the project, as they have decades of experience in tackling logistically challenging projects. After lending their expertise in the preconstruction and planning stages of development, Conco is slated to commence construction in August 2019. For their part of the Thompson Hotel project, Conco will be providing Denver concrete pumping and placing, formwork, concrete reinforcement, concrete finishing, and shotcrete services as well as construction trucking. The scope of work includes drilled pier foundations, pier caps and grade beams, mat foundations, slab on grade, shotcrete foundation walls, elevator core walls in two locations, and elevated post-tensioned structural slabs. Once completed, the Thompson Denver promises to be one of the premier hotels in the city.

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

The Conco Companies is proud to share that we have completed and placed the 31st-floor concrete deck pour of the Carmel Cumulus Tower project. Conco provided the concrete structure, concrete pumping, formwork, shotcrete, and finishing services for this job. The mat slab pour of 7,985 cubic yard of concrete was placed on July 13, 2018. The roof level was placed roughly one year later on July 17, 2019. Within this 369 day timeframe Conco pumped and placed 34,000 cubic yards of concrete and finished 550,000 square feet of flatwork, all while maintaining an impressive five-day deck cycle.

We simply could not have done it without an amazing team of dedicated and talented craft men and women. Our skilled concrete specialists provide the expertise and commitment that is the foundation for Conco’s reputation for delivering exceptional quality construction on schedule and on budget. The Cumulus Tower project, like Conco’s other large scale and challenging projects showcases Conco’s hard work. We are grateful to have our talented concrete specialists on the Conco team.

The Cumulus project is in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles and seeks to promote public transit by offering residential and retail spaces next to new metro rail stations. This mixed-use development by Carmel Partners consists of one seven-story podium building and a 30-story high rise with 100,000 square feet of retail, on an 11-acre site that was once occupied by Cumulus Media’s radio broadcast facility. The residential portion of the project will feature 1,210 apartments and, combined with 100,000 square feet of commercial space, will be divided between two separate buildings. The Cumulus Tower is the first tower in this section of Los Angeles and is the cornerstone of the larger complex.

While the Healthcare District of Denver is home to a constellation of hospitals and healthcare facilities, it is also a bustling area featuring restaurants, retail stores, businesses, and soon, two new high-end multi-family residential buildings. The Broadstone Uptown project will make use of a currently empty lot at the corner of 18th and Marion Street and will bring much needed residential units to the growing city. The project brings together local architects, engineers, and commercial concrete contractors in Denver and promises to introduce over two hundred studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments to the neighborhood, as well as below grade parking for each of the two buildings.

Denver has experienced a huge boom in its population over the past several years, and city officials and local developers have worked diligently to answer the call for more housing. In 2018, reports concluded that Denver needed 32,000 new units to keep pace with the city’s rapid growth, and as a result construction cranes and newly erected high-rise multi-family residential buildings have become ubiquitous features of the cityscape. The Broadstone Uptown project will be a welcome addition to Denver’s housing stock and is slated to begin construction in July 2019.

The development team for The Broadstone Uptown project includes PR III Broadstone Uptown Developers, Enayat Schneider Smith Engineering, and Shear Adkins Rockmore Architects who designed the nearly identical, adjacent nine-story residential buildings. Conco worked closely with these teams for over a year in the planning phase and won the contract for concrete services due to the strong working relationships built in that process and Conco’s competitive pricing. Conco is known for keeping large scale projects on time and budget, two necessary characteristics in the race to build more residential units in Denver. The scope of work for Conco’s turnkey structural concrete services include mat slab foundations, slab on grade, shotcrete foundation walls, cast-in-place columns, elevator and stair core walls in two locations in each building, elevated post-tensioned structural slabs and Epicore topping slabs for the cast-in-place rooftop slabs. Conco will be partnering with a local subcontractor to provide Denver concrete pumping and placing, reinforcing, formwork, and finishing as well as construction trucking.
