655 N. Alvernon Sneak Peek

Posted on by flywheel transfer

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.

Goings on at Alvernon

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.

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…)

Self Performed Construction Services – Working with Non-Profits

Posted on by Nathan Kappler

Catalina Terrace (CT) is a semi-public pool that has served families for 55 years in mid-Tucson…and it needed a restoration.

The Catalina Terrace Athletic Program community rallied under the leadership of a dedicated and passionate Not For Profit Board of Directors.  They raised $220,000 for much needed improvements.

The project included complete pool shell renovation, pool plumbing renovation, electric, landscaping and perimeter fence/wall upgrades.

Kappcon was able to help the community by self-performing the pool deck and other concrete repairs, and perimeter wall masonry services.

Here is a look back at the work from the CTAP website posting:

Tucson Rodeo – Vaquero Club Structure

Posted on by Nathan Kappler

Kappcon, Inc is a Tucson based General Contractor that provides Public Parks construction.

We were happy to see this article in the back of the this year’s Tucson Rodeo Program.

It was a great team and the new structure provided both shade and rain shelter for the first weekend of the Rodeo.

Thanks to the Tucson Rodeo Committee and Tucson Parks & Rec!

A nice write up in the Arizona Daily Star about the park construction we are working on and the neighborhood history surrounding it…

We are near completion of this park construction project – just waiting on artwork to embed into the columns that will tell the story of the salvaged roof tiles and the salvaged foundation stones.

Here is the follow up to this post.
