The Conco Companies are providing concrete services for a new 196-unit luxury apartment building in downtown Redwood City at the corner of Main and Marshall. The project broke ground in spring, 2014 and is expected to be completed by 2016. The building is designed by Christiani Johnson Architects and being constructed by owner and developer, Lennar Multi-Family West. The landscape architect is MPA Design and civil engineer is BKF Engineers. The project complies to the city’s three story height limit along Main Street with an eight-story cast-in-place structure behind. In addition the façade of the building will complement the “scale and character” of the historic Redwood City downtown area. Along with the main structure, Conco is constructing two levels of subterranean parking and wrapped garage at grade for a total of 330 parking spaces. To complete the project, Conco is placing 409,949 sq ft of concrete and using 4.5 million pounds of reinforced steel. The project will consist of 20,500 cu yd of concrete and 1200 cu yd of shotcrete. The Main + Marshall apartments offers a long list of amenities such as a fitness center, lounge, dog park, roof deck, barbeque, courtyard, business center, bike repair shop, dog wash, pool, and spa. The project emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly experience for residence that is consistent with the city’s vision for the downtown area. The project is a part of the Redwood City’s Downtown Precise Plan that was adopted in 2011 and allows for the private development of up to 2,500 new residential units. The plan also permits the development of 100,000 square feet of retail space, 500,000 square feet of office space and 200 hotel rooms in the three-block radius surrounding the county courthouse.

Our extensive services include commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects. We have regional offices in California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. According to the Portland Cement Association, “Nearly two-thirds of U.S. cement consumption occurs in the six months between May and October.” They also say that around 70 percent of cement shipments are sent to ready-mix concrete operators. The remaining cement is shipped to manufacturers, government entities, contractors and to oil well, mining, and drilling companies. The fine gray powder that is known as portland cement is the key component in concrete mixtures. With more than 100 cement plants in the United States, our country has the capacity to produce over 100 million tons of cement a year, and we are one of the largest manufacturers in the world just behind China and India. The U.S. cement manufacturing plants are located in 36 states; however California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Alabama produce about 48% of the cement manufactured in the U.S. Many of the U.S. plants are owned by or are subsidiaries of foreign companies and almost 80% of our cement production comes from these companies. Most cement is transported by trucks as it is generally manufactured close to the site where it will be used as well as close to limestone quarries where the raw material comes from. Furthermore, cement consumption is dependent upon favorable weather conditions, so in many places, it is a seasonal business. The production of cement reflects the state of the construction industry. At those times when construction slows down, so does the demand for cement. With the recent recovery in the economy and the subsequent uptick of many construction projects around the country, the cement industry is currently doing quite well.

Matt Gonsalves has held the position of President and is still active in the company serving as the Chairman of the Board. The business got its start by pouring patios and driveways in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. Today Conco is one of the largest commercial concrete construction companies in the Western U.S. operating in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Colorado. The highlights of Conco’s longevity in the industry include providing premium concrete services for many of the most distinguished projects on the West Coast throughout the decades. Some of the more prominent projects include the Pacific Bell Park, San Francisco Giants Stadium, the retrofit of Los Angles City Hall, Nokia Theater L.A. LIVE and Parking Structure, UCSF Neurosciences Lab and Research Center, Seattle Seahawk Parking Garage, Millbrae and Concord/Martinez BART Stations, and the Marriott Hotel in San Francisco. Recently we have been involved in the San Francisco 49ers Levi’s Stadium, the Bay Bridge Repair, the Wilshire Grand in L.A., and currently the Salesforce Tower in S.F. As an innovator and inventor, Matt Gonsalves is credited with pioneering the use of 10” to 12” MAT slabs to create slab foundations that are not as prone to cracking or bending with earth movements. He also invented the Waffle-Mat System, which is the process of pouring concrete over plastic molds to create a waffle-type mat effective on expansive soils. He also initiated the formation of the Concrete Contractors Association and has served as the President of the Building Industry of America (BIA). Furthermore Mr. Gonsalves assisted the California Contractors State Licensing Board in developing test questions for its contractor license exam and working with political representatives to make changes to the cash retention policies in the construction industry. Many of his ideas on various concrete methodologies have become today’s standards and practices. In 2000, he was inducted into the CBIF Hall of Fame.
