Poured Out at the Summerlin Parking Structures & Macy’s Tilt-Up Building

April 16, 20140

Largo Concrete poured the last elevated deck on two multi-level parking structures in Summerlin, NV today. Located immediately south of the Red Rock Resort and Casino both structures are on the west side of the development facing the 215 Beltway. Parking Structure #2, completed today, is 334,331gsf, 1-level below grade, 4-levels above with a total of 951-stalls, and PS3 is 186,233gsf, 3-levels above grade with 484 total stalls. Largo’s scope also included three pedestrian bridges connecting the parking structures to the retail center.

Largo also poured the foundations, tilt-up panels and slab on metal deck for the 2-story, 83,000gsf Macy’s department store adjacent to PS3. A pedestrian bridge connects PS3 to Macy’s second level. The 106-acre Shops at Summerlin development is scheduled to open during the Fall of 2014 and Largo worked with Whiting-Turner on the Macy’s building and VCC on the parking structure contracts.

Largo completed the final clean at the Block 51, IBC Bank Building this week in Austin, TX for JE Dunn. The concrete framed building is over 400,000gsf and features 6-levels of commercial space above 7-levels of parking and retail on the ground floor. Scheduled to be complete in late 2014, this is the first commercial tower to be built in downtown Austin for 10-years with nearly 200,000sf of office space.

The curved façade on West Fifth distinguishes the building in one of the most coveted areas of town directly across from Republic Square Park and a couple blocks away from the Federal Courthouse and City Hall. Largo poured over 16,000CY of concrete over seven months with no recordable injuries.
