Clayco recently completed vertical construction of Skye on 6th, a 26-story residential high-rise in downtown Phoenix scheduled for a summer 2023 completion. At the groundbreaking in September 2021, Clayco and Hubbard Street Group each donated $10,000 toward bringing the Construction Career Development Initiative (CCDI) program to nearby Phoenix Union Bioscience High School.
As part of CCDI’s introduction into the Phoenix market, donations from Clayco and Hubbard Street Group will help fund hands-on construction career exposure and an immersive educational program with nearby Phoenix Union Bioscience High School. Two $2,500 scholarships and summer internships were awarded this summer to senior students interested in pursuing a construction-related college degree. Named the Build Our Future scholarship, the program was funded by the donation dollars from Clayco and Hubbard Street Group.
