Area 751 is a residence addition in a private desert oasis, beautifully shot by Bill Timmerman.
Despite bearing a similar name to Area 51, there are no conspiracies, internet trends, or aliens here (that we know of!). Surrounding the sturdy metal work is just its inhabitants and a thriving desert ecosystem, which can be observed from the open-concept interior of the home.

Earlier this month, Kappcon and trade partner employees poured the largest concrete slab in our history. Poured in two separate evenings, the almost 900 yards of concrete will be the future home of the Tucson Cannabis Campus. This state of the art medical marijuana facility will be the largest in Arizona once completed.
Check out this incredible drone shot of the finished pad!
Kappcon would like to thank the hardworking employees of Calportland, Brundage-Bone, Luciano Concrete and Penhall for their partnership on this project.

In 2018, Kappcon and the City of Tucson Parks & Rec department teamed up to breathe new life into Himmel Park. There are now designated play zones for younger and older children as well as picnic tables, water fountains and shady areas for parents. Parents will also be pleased by the new concrete pathways that allow strollers to easily access different points within the park.
Most importantly, the beloved metal slide community members rallied to protect is still standing. Tucson kids will be able to zoom down the freshly painted retro slide for decades to come!
Thank you to the Tucson community for your support throughout this project. It is one of our favorites of 2018!

The new splash pad at the Crossroads at Silverbell District Park is coming right along. The fountain heads are in place and concrete is being poured over an impressive rebar mat (see the photo above!). Then, we will hoist up the shade sails and test ‘er out!
Another fun fact about the splash pad is that on designated nights, it will double as an LED light and water show for park patrons. Speaking of light shows, stop by the Town of Marana’s July 4th Star Spangled Spectacular for some family fun.

Lute Olson is a man who needs no introduction to University of Arizona basketball fans. The legendary men’s coach has 46 NCAA tournament wins under his belt, ushered many of his players into the NBA and transformed the Wildcat program into a basketball powerhouse.
After it was announced that a statue in his honor was to be erected, Kappcon was brought on to prepare the location where the statue would sit at the McKale Center. Once the foundation was ready to support the tremendous weight of the statue, it was time to get Lute in place.
The life sized statue was unveiled at a touching ceremony on the Eddie Lynch Pavilion at the McKale Center on April, 2018. In attendance were former and current players, Wildcat fans, and the man of the hour, Lute Olson himself. Kappcon was thrilled to be a part of this special University of Arizona project honoring a true sports legend.

We would like to thank our trade partners Parsons Steel Builders, Sturgeon Electric, Penhall Concrete and Marco Crane for their assistance with this project.
Kappcon has a long history of partnering with the University of Arizona; our latest project at 655 N Alvernon is no exception. The University purchased the 1970’s building for Health Sciences staff, but first the property needed serious love before the team could move in. We gutted the building (very quietly, some tenants were still there) and started from scratch.
We aren’t quite finished yet, but the first interior shots were too good not to share. It’s very exciting to watch the progression from “gutted old building” to modern, cheerful work space. We hope the medical personnel will be happy in their new home.
Before (above) and After (below)
Kappcon will be completing lab spaces, work and communal areas, and exterior updates for 655 N Alvernon in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to see the finished project! (this is the before…)
As always, these photos were taken by the great folks at openform.
We recommend them for any of your brand strategy and design needs.
Kappcon has partnered with Line + Space Architects and a host of incredible local subcontractors to remodel the Flowing Wells Library. Although the original structure will remain intact, the library will nearly double in size. The library addition will incorporate new teen and children’s areas, expanded computer work stations and a multipurpose room; all optimally designed to evoke community pride and encourage engagement.
Arizona Daily Star photojournalist Ron Medvescek visited the Flowing Wells Library site last month to document Kappcon’s demolition progress.
It’s pretty hard to believe that all this metal and concrete will one day look like Line + Space’s beautiful renderings! That’s the magic of commercial construction for you. We will be sure to keep you informed on the progress of this exciting project.
