Luxury Multi-Use Building in Downtown Denver





Several years ago, The Conco Companies brought our well-earned reputation for superior concrete formwork, reinforcing, place and finish, shotcrete and other ancillary services to the dynamic Denver construction market.  With our wide range of in-house resources, we have the capability to be a single source on any project and to deliver the highest quality concrete services. 

Currently our Colorado operations are in need of experienced carpenters, cement masons, ironworkers, laborers and operating engineers as well as shotcrete laborers, finishers and nozzlemen.  These exciting job opportunities offer both medical and retirement benefits. 

One example of a recent project we are proud to have been a part of is the Platform, which is in downtown Denver.  The 21-story luxury apartment building is right next to the historic Union Station that was a part of the large Union Station Redevelopment Project.  The Platform is a multi-use, pedestrian-friendly building that includes 288 apartment units, 260 parking spaces, and approximately 7,000 SF of retail space.  Residents can walk to the Riverfront, LoHi and the River North Art District as well as Coors Field and many Downtown Denver restaurants and shops.  We broke ground in early 2013 and the project was completed in 2014.

The Union Station redevelopment project played an important role in Denver’s downtown revitalization and is now a popular destination for fine dining, entertainment and shopping.  The focal point of the enormous project was the Union Station that reopened in July 2014 after years of planning, hard work, and a cost of nearly $500 million.  The multi-modal hub is for bus, light rail, commuter rail and Amtrak and was designed to accommodate commuters and pedestrians.  The project even caught the interest of transportation developers around the world for its contemporary design and emphasis on commuter-friendly transit. 

The Conco Companies are a leading supplier of concrete services for the Western U.S. and got our start in the Bay Area in 1959 by offering clients the best value on a wide range of concrete services and products.  Since that time, we have taken a leading role as one of the top concrete contractors in the region. Our offices serve California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Nevada.
