Largo placed 4,700CY of concrete at the Park 5th Development in downtown Los Angeles right across from Pershing Square over the weekend. The large foundation sits at the based of a 25 story residential high-rise building scheduled to open early 2019. Working with architect Ankrom Moisan, Nabih Youssef & Associates structural engineers and general contractor Suffolk Construction, Largo anticipates topping out in August of 2018.
Earlier this month, Largo topped-out at Circa, 1200 S. Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. The focal point of this $500 million residential mega-project is the twin high-rises adjacent to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. The development features two levels of below-grade parking, ground level commercial space, six levels of above-grade parking, an amenities podium deck, and 26 stories of residential condominiums above. Located near LA Live, the Convention Center and the Metro Pico Station in the city’s South Park district, the high-rise buildings feature a curved north face to enhance views of the skyline and mimic design themes from surrounding architecture. When complete, the project will total nearly 110,000 cubic yards of concrete installed over nearly 600,000 man-hours.

Located on the Southwest corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills, the Waldorf Astoria is being built on one of the busiest intersections in the country. The new development features 314 parking stalls across 2-levels of below grade parking, with convention space, retail and dining on the lower levels of the 12-story tower. When complete, 42 of the total 170 new rooms will be considered suites and a pool, spa and lounge offer panoramic views from the roof deck.
Due to its proximity to the prestigious Beverly Hilton, limited area on-site as well as the city’s stringent policies, our team took special steps and procedures regarding traffic for staging and concrete pumping purposes. We sand blasted, redesigned the lanes and set up extensive K-Rail along Santa Monica Blvd. This street is also known as Highway 2 which poses another challenge regarding overhead crane limitations. Fortunately, the City of Beverly Hills considers this small part of Highway 2 “Santa Monica Blvd.” as it passes through the city making the use of a tower crane possible along this stretch of property.
The mat foundation was completed in two pours: the first pour below the tower for the 8’ and 5’ thick areas of foundation totaled 7,120CY, and the second pour for the balance of the foundation at 3’ thick was another 4,800CY. A helix ramp connects the parking to street level and the typical elevated deck square footage in the tower is 14,366sf. Largo is working closely with general contractor Matt Construction, architects Gensler and structural engineer Nabih Youssef Assoc. to have concrete complete by March of 2016.

Largo Concrete began work at The Current residential high-rise tower in Long Beach, California this week. The concrete frame building features 18 total levels, 12 residential, 1 retail and commercial ground floor and 4 parking levels, two of which are below grade, an amenities roof deck with pool and helipad above. The 194’ tall, 415,000gsf project sits on a 43,700sf site located on the northwest corner of Ocean Blvd. and Lime St. features 223 residential units, 22,608sf of commercial space and 328 parking stalls.
Largo is working with General Contractor Driver Urban, BAR Architects in conjunction with Rockefeller Partners Architects and Structural Engineer Nabih Youssef & Associates to have concrete poured out by August 28, 2015. One of the major challenges of this project will be the coordination with the exterior façade contractors all vying for crane time in order to meet the schedule. Mounting the pre-cast concrete, aluminum and glass architectural panels to the exterior of the building requires an extraordinary amount of embed coordination and accuracy. This is the first development of its kind in over a decade in Long Beach with a scheduled completion in summer of 2016.
