The Baffert at Five Points

 

First an underground parking garage, and then a 3 story concrete building frame.  Could not do it without the best Construction Team in Tucson.

The Baffert at Five Points will be a mixed use building with commercial space on the ground floor and residential lofts on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Broadway Bungalows are Moving!

We were proud to partner with the Rio Nuevo District, and Poster Mirto McDonald to move the historic structures off the new right-of-way at Broadway Blvd in Tucson, AZ.

This is a great example of the challenging work delivered by the team at Kappcon General Contracting and our subcontractor A-Arid Enterprises.

Splash Pad at Crossroads: June Update

Have Some Concrete with Your Rebar

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.

Keep an eye out for these banners!

655 N. Alvernon Sneak Peek

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.
