Stellar Aviation held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction of our Stellar Aviation project located at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport! We are excited about this new facility which will help serve the demand for air travel as the Reno area continues to grow. The first phase of the project consists of a 5,000-square-foot stand-alone FBO terminal building and 30,000-square-foot Hangar 1, with a 5,000-square-foot attached office. The FBO building will serve as a terminal for private aircraft as well as JSX hop-on jet services. The FBO building includes a reception with open seating, a refreshments area, a canteen, a pilots lounge, flight planning, line services, catering, a rent-a-car counter, a conference room, and a staff lounge. The 28’ clear-height Hangar 1 building will have infrared heating, LED high bay lighting, aircraft ground power units, eight 500-square-foot offices, a breakroom, and restrooms. Construction is scheduled to start next month and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.

UCC team members Leman Jones, Jeremiah Bergara, Gladiss Hernandez, and Shelby Cox attended EDAWN’s Existing Industry Awards ceremony last night. From EDAWN “The Existing Industry Awards recognizes Primary Companies in the region for their outstanding contribution to our community in a variety of ways. A Primary Company is a private sector company in Washoe County, Storey County, or Fernley where the majority of the company’s revenue (>50%) is generated from outside the State of Nevada. The Existing Industry Awards is a great opportunity to recognize existing Primary Companies for their contribution to Northern Nevada.” At this year’s event a total of 56 companies were nominated for their valuable contributions to our community. United Construction is proud to be a gold investor for EDAWN.

Congratulations to the team for being granted a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) for our Swope Middle School project! To celebrate this achievement our entire site crew including subcontractors, as well as Swope Middle School teachers, enjoyed a delicious lunch from Butcher’s Kitchen Char-B-Que. Two lucky crew members on our subcontracting team scored some YETI swag in a raffle as a special thanks for all of their hard work on this project.

Students will be welcomed back on Monday for their first day of school! The 3-phase project included a new gym and basketball courts, a new two-story classroom building, a new kitchen, and renovations to the older section of the building including an updated HVAC system. A new multipurpose room, administrative offices, nurses clinic, and courtyard are currently under construction and will be turned over to WCSD in phases by the end of this year.

Our team had fun attending this year’s Art of Childhood fundraising gala event! The event raised over $600,000 throughout the night to help support The Children’s Cabinet and their mission to keep children safe and families together. We are proud to support this organization and all they do to help members of our community with many different resources, including one resource highlighted at this years event – free family counseling services.

We are happy to announce this year’s English Cottage-style playhouse, designed and built by our team for the live auction, raised over $3,700 for The Children’s Cabinet. Stay tuned for more photos soon of the playhouse at it’s new home!
