In late November 2020, The Conco Companies began providing concrete services for the construction of the EBS Building, a high-end residential living space in Portland, OR. Conco was selected for our expertise in delivering exceptional concrete services and navigating jobsites with limited space. We will provide a range of services, including pumping, reinforcement, formwork, placement, and detailing.

The EBS Building consists of a 12,500 SF footprint, with one level of below-grade parking, a back-of-house working area, and four elevated decks. The project’s total size is 55,000 SF with concrete slabs and slab-on grade.

This project presents several challenges for construction. It’s located on a major thoroughfare in one of Portland’s busiest residential and commercial districts. This makes the jobsite footprint and laydown area extremely limited in access for formwork, reinforcement fabrication, pumping activities, and construction deliveries. Thanks to the thorough planning of our workers, Conco is well underway with the project.

When completed in early June 2021, the EBS Building will expand an established and continually evolving community located in the heart of Portland. It will also be another stunning addition to Conco’s growing portfolio of Portland projects.

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

The Conco Companies has reached the first milestone in the Lamp Lodge project, an 82-unit affordable housing community in downtown Los Angeles that will replace an existing Single-Room Occupancy building. Conco is providing concrete services including concrete pumping, formwork, shotcrete, place and finish, rebar, and excavation.

Lamp Lodge will be a 7-story building with a community room, laundry facility, second-floor courtyard, garden, and 16 parking spaces. Of the 82 units, one will be a manager’s apartment, and the rest will house homeless, special needs, and low-income residents. The 81 residential units will be priced for residents making only 30-35% of the area’s median income.

Lamp Lodge is designed by KFA Architecture and developed by Meta Housing Corporation, which specializes in affordable, mixed-income apartments and complexes, and public-funded projects that promote job opportunities to residents.

Conco was selected as the concrete services provider because the Lamp Lodge project requires fast-paced construction, and has a small footprint jobsite that requires precise logistics. The project utilizes over 2,500 cubic-yards of poured concrete for 22,000 square-feet of structural decks. Construction is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2022, and is one of several affordable housing projects Conco is proud to help build.

Since August 2020, The Conco Companies has been providing full concrete services for the new Cedar Sinai Medical Center on Hillhurst Avenue, in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The services provided include shotcrete, concrete pumping, place and finish, rebar, and formwork.

When completed, the medical center will cover an 11,000 square-feet footprint, and introduce a 3-story building for a total of 51,000 square feet of covered area—with three levels below-grade parking.

This project’s build is accompanied by logistical struggles that Conco is equipped to overcome. In particular, there is only one-sided access to the project site, with an excavation that is over 35-feet deep. The roadside access is also beset with overhead utility and electrical lines, making the incorporation of concrete and other construction materials into the project a feat.

Conco and the general contractor, Pankow, strategized the work sequence for maximum effectiveness in a tiny footprint. Construction is expected to stay on course throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and be completed in May 2021.

The Conco Companies is in the Pre-Construction phase for Amani Apartments, a new apartment building that will be reserved for low- to very low-income households in Los Angeles. Conco will provide the affordable housing community a full range of structural concrete services, including pumping, excavation, formwork, shotcrete, and place and finish.

Developed by Wakeland Housing and managed by RD Olson Construction, the Amani Apartments is scheduled to finish construction by the second quarter of 2022. It will replace a vacant lot with a 5-story building of 54 affordable residential units. Conco will place over 1,000 cubic yards of concrete, with a total of 10,000 square feet of Slab-on-Grade, and a suspended deck.

Each residential unit will be a studio ranging from 393 to 424 square feet, with one unit being 875 square feet. The building features shotcrete columns and walls with board finish, and includes property management offices, community laundry facilities, a common room, an observation deck, and outdoor courtyards.

The new affordable housing community will be located near the historic Victoria Park, at Pico and Crenshaw Boulevards. It is part of Proposition HHH, a $1.2 Billion bond that provides help and housing to homeless and low income residents across Los Angeles, and is one of several Los Angeles affordable housing projects that have chosen Conco for concrete services.

In late January 2021, The Conco Companies is scheduled to provide a full concrete services package for Chesterfield Apartments, an affordable housing community in south Los Angeles. Services include formwork, reinforcement, concrete pumping, shotcrete, and finishing services. Conco will also install a mat slab foundation at the whole footprint of the lot, shotcrete columns, and walls with board finish.

Chesterfield Apartments will be a 6-story building containing 43 residential affordable units, located near Exposition Park. The residential units will be studios ranging from 400 to 415 square feet, and one will be a 836 square feet, 2-bedroom manager’s unit. Also featured in the building are a common area for onsite property management offices, bicycle storage room, community room, community laundry facilities, and outdoor landscaped areas. These amenities will enhance the living standard for low-income and homeless residents.

This project is developed by Wakeland Housing, managed by RD Olson Construction, and is part of the passed Proposition HHH, a $1.2 Billion bond that was designed to provide help and housing to homeless and low income residents across Los Angeles.

Chesterfield Apartments will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2022, and is one of Conco’s most recent affordable housing projects.
