The new JS West & Companies headquarters in Modesto continues to take shape. With the four-story structural steel framework now standing, the Huff Construction team and our trade partners have moved into the next phase of construction, building out the exterior facade.

Progress You Can See

With the structural steel frame set, our crews have moved into setting precast concrete tilt-up panels finished with a brick veneer. Delivered through a design-build partnership with DAHLIN Architecture, these panels are adding texture and durability to the building envelope while keeping pace with an efficient tilt-up erection sequence, steel and precast working together, panel by panel.

Celebrating the Crew Behind the Progress

Seeing this four-story structure rise safely and efficiently is a testament to the skill and teamwork happening on this site every single day. To celebrate the completion of the structural steel framework, the Huff team hosted an on-site BBQ with The Twisted Pig, a chance to bring the crew and trade partners together and say thank you for the craftsmanship and commitment that got the structure to this point.

Hard hats off to the entire Huff team and our trade partners for their continued commitment to Building Excellence.

Recognizing Our Field Crew and Trade Partners

Milestones like these do not happen without close coordination between the Huff team and our dedicated trade partners. Proper staging, disciplined sequencing, and strict safety protocols on the job site have kept this project moving forward efficiently through every phase of vertical construction.

Looking Ahead

We are grateful for our team and trade partners driving this project forward and look forward to sharing further updates as the building envelope comes together. To track the ongoing build and see the full project scope, visit our dedicated JS West Headquarters Project Page.

Some builds start small. This one started big.

Back in 2018, the Huff Construction team broke ground on a ground-up, design-build expansion of the Jelly Belly Warehouse in Fairfield, CA. At 106,000 square feet, the project called for a tilt-up structure built to support one of the most recognized names in candy manufacturing, and it started with a single, massive concrete slab pour.

14,000,000 Pounds of Concrete, One Pour

Over 3,550 yards of concrete went into this slab pour alone, adding up to roughly 14,000,000 pounds poured in a single, tightly coordinated effort. Pours of this scale take precise sequencing, the right crew, and zero room for error, and our team delivered exactly that.

A Design-Build Partnership Built on Trust

As the design-build contractor, Huff Construction worked closely with Jelly Belly from early planning through completion to deliver a facility built for their operational needs. We’re grateful Jelly Belly trusted us to bring their vision to life, and proud of the work our team and trade partners put into every phase of this project.

Looking Back

Projects like the Jelly Belly Warehouse expansion are a reminder of the scale Huff Construction is built to handle, from the first slab poured to the final walkthrough. To see the completed project and more, visit our dedicated Jelly Belly Project Page.

Huff Construction is proud to announce that Lightfighter Village has received a Gold Nugget Award of Merit for Best Supportive / Transitional Housing.

A Community Built to Serve Those Who Served

Located in Marina, CA, Lightfighter Village is the ground-up construction of a three-story, 71-unit housing community on 2.3 acres. The unit mix includes 64 studio apartments and 7 two-bedroom family apartments, rented to low- and extremely-low-income veterans. Every element of the campus was designed with residents’ well-being in mind, from private living spaces to shared amenities that foster connection and support.

Amenities Designed for Well-Being

Residents have access to supportive services along with a community room, computer lab, meditation room, fitness room, and laundry facility. The campus also features a community garden, play structure, community courtyard, pet wash station, and solar carports, amenities chosen to support the physical, mental, and social well-being of the veterans who call Lightfighter Village home.

A Team Effort

We are grateful to our client, EAH Housing, our dedicated trade partners, and the entire Huff Construction team for helping bring this supportive environment to life. This recognition reflects the commitment of everyone involved, from design through construction, to building a place where veterans can thrive.

A Full-Circle Milestone: Completing the New Ashley Furniture Store

We are proud to announce the completion of the brand-new Ashley Furniture Store located at 3900 Sisk Road in Modesto. Returning to this site was a remarkable, full-circle moment for Huff Construction. Our team originally built this shopping center in the early 2000s, and it was a privilege to return more than two decades later to update the space.

Project Scope and Execution

For this project, we worked within the 36,400-square-foot footprint to execute a targeted exterior façade refresh and a complete custom interior buildout. Delivering a project of this scale requires careful coordination and a commitment to quality from inception through completion.

A Legacy of Quality and Partnership

Throughout our 55-year history, we have focused on building structures that last. Seeing this center standing strong today is a true testament to that commitment.

We pride ourselves on our dedication to quality and long-term customer satisfaction. We want to thank our client for their continued partnership on this project. We also extend our gratitude to Architecture Design Collaborative for their excellent design collaboration.

Building Excellence through partnership is at the core of every project we undertake. We are proud to announce the completion of River Canyon Affordable Housing in Merced, California. This 156-unit development marks our second successful collaboration with our repeat client, The Richman Group, in the Merced area.

Following the delivery of The Retreat Affordable Housing, Huff Construction led the construction of this expansive residential community. Previously known as Devonwood, River Canyon now provides high-quality affordable housing in Merced for local families and special-needs residents.

Scaling Affordable Housing in Merced

Delivering affordable housing in Merced at this scale requires high operational efficiency. As the general contractor, our team managed the ground-up construction of five 3-story residential buildings. Additionally, we constructed a central community center designed to serve the region for generations.

The project features modern interiors with elevated ceilings and wood plank vinyl flooring. Specifically, our team maintained rigorous quality control at every stage. We focused on everything from the initial foundations to the final interior finishes to ensure we met key milestones with precision.

Comprehensive Amenities & Resident Support

Beyond the living spaces, River Canyon fosters community connection. The site provides 117 units for families and 39 units for residents with special needs. Consequently, the project features a 1-story community building with a professional fitness center and a clubhouse.

Outdoor spaces include a resort-style swimming pool, a playground, a pet run, and EV charging stations. Furthermore, every element of the site was built for durability. This reflects our commitment to building spaces that improve the resident’s quality of life.

Building Excellence Through Repeat Partnerships

Successful projects rely on a foundation of trust. At Huff Construction, over 80% of our business comes from repeat clients. Therefore, our continued work with The Richman Group is a testament to that reliability. By collaborating with AO and our trade partners, we successfully navigated the complexities of this 156-unit development.

Seeing River Canyon open its doors is the ultimate reward for our team’s dedication. We look forward to growing our portfolio and continuing our mission of “Building Excellence” in the Merced community.

Redefining Coastal Luxury

Spanning 95,263 square feet, this ground-up construction project was a massive feat of engineering and craftsmanship. The foundation of the project relies on a robust structural concrete podium, which was specifically engineered to accommodate a full subterranean parking garage.

Above the podium, our team constructed a 4-story wood-framed structure. The exterior demands precision craftsmanship, featuring smooth plaster finishes, sweeping architectural arches, and a traditional clay tile roof that creates a timeless Spanish-influence fitting for the Monterey Peninsula.

Inside, the transition from heavy structural construction to high-end finishes is seamless. From the intricate custom millwork and grand arched windows in the lobby to the six luxury suites, every detail was executed to redefine luxury hospitality.

World-Class Amenities at the Kimpton Mirador Hotel

The Kimpton Mirador Hotel is designed to be more than just a place to sleep; it is a destination. Key features delivered by our team include:

• The Caledonian: A signature full-service restaurant and bar with dedicated outdoor dining.
• Central Courtyard: An inviting, landscaped open-air social hub for relaxation.
• Event Spaces: Versatile indoor banquet and meeting facilities for corporate and private events.

A Collaborative Success

Delivering a project of this magnitude requires true partnership. We are honored to have partnered with our client, IC PG Property Owner, LLC, and developer Cypress 16 to bring the vision for the Kimpton Mirador Hotel to life.

A massive thank you goes out to our trade partners and the entire Huff team. From the foundation to the final finishes, this project demanded the highest level of precision, and our team delivered Building Excellence every step of the way.

The rhythm of progress is beating loudly in Livermore, California!

We are excited to share the latest updates from the Pacific Avenue Senior Homes project, where our teams are making incredible strides. What began as site and foundation work has rapidly transformed into a four-story structure that is now going vertical, changing the skyline of the neighborhood and bringing us closer to delivering essential affordable housing for the community.

Framing in Full Swing

Currently, framing is in full swing. The skeleton of this Type VA wood-framed structure is rising quickly, with walls going up and hallways taking shape. This phase is always one of the most exciting in construction. It’s when the drawings finally translate into a tangible space you can walk through.

The building’s distinct U-shaped layout is becoming visible, designed specifically to maximize natural light and foster connection. Once complete, this shape will cradle a lush central courtyard, which will serve as the heart of the community.

Designed for Community and Connection

This 79-unit community is about more than just housing; it is about creating a home. Working alongside our repeat client, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA), and the architects at DAHLIN, we are building a space tailored to the needs of seniors.

Future residents will enjoy a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, along with amenities designed to encourage an active, social lifestyle, including:

• A Central Courtyard: Featuring raised garden beds, lounge seating, and a bocce ball court.
• Accessibility: ADA-compliant access throughout the property.
• Convenience: 87 surface parking stalls and secure bike storage.

Building with Precision and Safety

As the upper floors are framed and site work continues below, our team remains laser-focused on our core values: safety, precision, and maintaining a clean job site. Every board placed and every nail driven is a step toward excellence.

The exterior will eventually feature a beautiful mix of fiber cement siding, exposed rafter tails, and decorative brackets, blending modern durability with classic architectural charm.

Stay Tuned

We are proud to be Building Excellence for SAHA and the Livermore community. As we push the pace on framing, we look forward to the next milestones on this impactful project.
