Tops Out Conference Center and Cinemas
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Schuff Steel Company reached a major milestone as it topped out
the Conference Center and Regal Cinema movie theater complex at L.A.
Live--the largest development in Los Angeles' history. Schuff Steel
Company is part of Schuff International, Inc. (OTC: SHFK), the largest
steel fabrication and erection company in the United States.

L.A. Live is a mixed-use development on 27 acres in downtown Los
Angeles that includes sports and entertainment venues, luxury hotels,
businesses, conference center, Regal Cinema movie theater complex,
retail, restaurants, condominium and apartment towers, and the Nokia
Theater.

Schuff and the general contractor, PCL Construction Services,
Inc., hoisted the final beam and the traditional evergreen tree to the
top of the Conference Center to mark the construction milestone.
Approximately 300 people participated in the event.

Schuff Steel's scope of work included detailing, fabrication and
erection of 4,600 tons of structural steel for the 550,000 square foot
Conference Center and Regal Cinema movie theater complex. Schuff
started erection on April 17, 2008 and is scheduled to complete
structural steel and metal deck in October 2008. Steel fabrication was
performed in Schuff's Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona plants.

"This will be an exciting venue for California visitors and
residents to enjoy for many years to come. Schuff Steel is extremely
proud that we were part of this monumental project," said Ryan Schuff,
president and CEO of Schuff Steel Company.

From 2005 to 2007, Schuff's California operations have experienced
significant growth due to strong demand for the company's
design-build/design-assist and 3D modeling/BIM solutions. Schuff's
California offices are located in Newport Beach, Oakland and San
Diego.
