The new JS West & Companies headquarters in Modesto is progressing on schedule. Following the initial foundation pour, the Huff Construction team and our trade partners have officially transitioned into the vertical construction phase of this 63,000-square-foot Class A office building.

Structural Steel Erection Completed

Our ironworker trade partners have successfully erected the structural steel framework. Every beam placed advanced the delivery of this four-story facility. Safety and quality remained our primary focus during every structural lift.

The Design-Build Vision

Delivered through a design-build partnership with DAHLIN Architecture, this facility will consolidate JS West & Co.’s operations into a single, modern workspace. The building’s design emphasizes efficiency, comfort, and flexibility to support their long-term growth. Once completed, the interior will feature a mix of open work areas, private offices, conference rooms, collaboration spaces, and employee-focused amenities. The surrounding site will include new parking, landscaping, walkways, and other improvements that complete the new corporate campus.

A Local Partnership

JS West & Co. is a Modesto-based company. We value the opportunity to partner with a local organization that shares our commitment to the Central Valley.

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.

We are excited to showcase the completed Oasis Car Wash Stockton in California.

This modern ground-up development is now officially open, providing a premium express car wash experience to the community. As the design builder for this project, Huff Construction managed every phase of coordination and construction to deliver a facility that balances high-tech functionality with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Modern Design-Build: Oasis Car Wash Stockton

Spanning a 0.67-acre commercial site, this project was delivered through our proven design-build process. By leading the project from preconstruction through final completion, our team ensured that the technical requirements of the wash equipment were seamlessly integrated into the building’s structural and site plans.

The facility features a 4,314-square-foot express car wash tunnel designed for high-volume throughput. Our team managed all coordination for the specialized equipment rooms and utilities required to power the advanced washing technology housed within the structure.

Advanced Features & Site Coordination

The Oasis Car Wash Stockton is designed for maximum efficiency and customer convenience. Key features delivered by our team include:

• Express Tunnel: A 4,314-square-foot facility optimized for rapid, high-quality vehicle cleaning.
• Self-Pay Stations: Two automated kiosks positioned for easy site navigation and traffic flow.
• Vacuum Stations: Nine dedicated high-performance vacuum stalls with professional-grade equipment.
• Full Site Development: New drive aisles, hardscape, and minimal landscaping designed for long-term durability.

A Collaborative Success

Delivering a specialized facility like Oasis Car Wash Stockton requires close coordination. We are proud to have partnered with the ownership team and ARCHITECHNICA to bring this vision to life.

To mark the completion of the project, we were honored to join our client and the local community for a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. Seeing the facility operational and serving customers is the ultimate goal of our “Building Excellence” philosophy. We are grateful for the trust placed in Huff Construction to lead this project and look forward to the continued success of Oasis Car Wash in the years to come.

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.

This highly anticipated indoor recreation facility will soon be one of the largest in the Bay Area. Once complete, Dream Courts will feature nearly an acre of court space dedicated to youth programs, community events, and regional tournaments.

A Premier Facility Coming into View

Our team is making steady progress on this 42,352-square-foot metal building, as well as the front office and lobby space. The sheer volume of the project is now visible as we move closer to the finish line.

Whether it is the structural shell or the interior finishes in the lobby, we prioritize the high-quality craftsmanship that goes into a facility of this scale. We are proud of the work our people are putting in to deliver this essential infrastructure.

Enhancing Stoneman Park

Located within the historic Stoneman Park, the Dream Courts Sports Complex is designed to be a hub for health and wellness. By transforming this space into a modern recreation destination, the City of Pittsburg is investing in the future of its athletes.

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.

We are excited to share a progress update on the new Oasis Car Wash, currently under construction in Stockton, CA. Our team has been making steady progress transforming this 0.67-acre commercial site into a modern express car wash facility, and we are now closing in on the finish line.

Design-Build: Streamlining the Process

For this project, Huff Construction is utilizing our Design-Build delivery method. We know that getting a project out of the ground is one of the hardest parts of commercial development. That’s why our approach brings the entire team: architect, engineers, consultants, builder, and owner together early to streamline the path to construction.

By partnering closely with the project architect, ARCHITECHNICA, from the very beginning, we were able to align the design with constructability, keep budgets in check, and get to construction faster. This collaboration has allowed us to maintain a steady, efficient workflow from start to finish, minimizing delays and ensuring the highest quality standards.

Taking Shape

The 4,314 square foot facility is rapidly coming together. The express wash tunnel structure is complete with the car wash equipment being installed, exterior finishes, including the vibrant blue tower accents, are being applied, and the site concrete is curing. 

Commitment to Quality

At Huff, we treat every project as if it were our own investment. Seeing the Oasis Car Wash transform from plans to a nearly operational facility is a testament to the hard work of our field team and trade partners.

We are proud to bring this new business to life for the Stockton community and look forward to sharing the final results soon. Stay tuned for the ribbon cutting!

Our Experience in Walnut Creek

Huff Construction has completed multiple projects in Walnut Creek, including the Rossmoor Event Center and the Shadelands SportsMall, a massive state-of-the-art indoor athletics complex. These projects reflect Huff’s continued capability to deliver high-quality recreation and community facilities throughout Contra Costa County and Northern California.

Building Excellence for the Rossmoor Community

The new indoor pickleball facility represents another step in Rossmoor’s growth and commitment to active living. Huff Construction is proud to continue its relationship with the Rossmoor community and to build another facility that reflects our dedication to Building Excellence.

At Huff Construction, we know that getting a project out of the ground is one of the hardest parts of commercial development. That’s why our design-build approach brings the entire team — architect, engineers, consultants, builder, and owner — together early to streamline the path to construction. It takes a team that understands entitlements, timelines, budgets, and the risks developers face when trying to bring a project out of the ground.

Huff Construction’s design-build delivery method is structured for real estate developers, commercial property owners, and organizations looking for a more efficient, cost-controlled way to move their projects forward. By bringing the architect, builder, and owner together early, Huff helps align the design with constructability, keep budgets in check, and get to construction faster.

More Than a Commercial Contractor. A True Development Ally.

At Huff, we’ve led dozens of projects from early concept through final delivery. What sets our approach apart is how deeply we integrate with our clients’ goals. From day one, we treat the project as if it were our own investment, offering practical insight, budget alignment, and a clear path to construction.

We work with:

• Commercial developers seeking full-scope project delivery

• Clients working under tight deadlines tied to grants, financing, or entitlements

• Owners who want to eliminate costly redesigns and reduce change orders

• Teams who need real-time pricing feedback and cost control from the start

Some clients come to us with entitlements already secured and need help completing drawings. Others start from the beginning and need a partner to lead the entire process. Either way, Huff helps move the project forward by reducing risk, improving communication, and accelerating delivery.

A Three-Phase Approach to Design-Build Delivery

Our commercial design-build process follows three proven phases:

1. Entitlements and Early Planning

We support land use approvals, utility coordination, and site planning alongside your team. Our early involvement helps you anticipate jurisdictional constraints, avoid costly changes, and make informed development decisions.

2. Construction Drawings and Preconstruction

We work closely with your design team through design development and construction documents, providing real-time pricing feedback, constructability reviews, and subcontractor input. This collaboration prevents over-design, keeps plans aligned with the budget, and eliminates surprises during bidding.

3. Construction and Final Delivery

Once plans are finalized, we seamlessly transition into construction. Our team already understands the project goals, schedule, and design intent. This eliminates delays and helps compress the timeline to final occupancy.

We are flexible in where we enter the process, but our strongest results come from leading all three phases.

Today, this center serves youth and families in South Modesto and stands as an example of what can be accomplished when a builder and client work in lockstep from day one.
