Serving the Quad Cities Since 1983.
Russell is a Quad Cities general contractor headquartered at 4700 E. 53rd Street in Davenport, Iowa. Founded in Bettendorf in 1983, we have grown to five offices and a team of more than 350, with completed work in 34 states.
Our core values remain the same: we appreciate our people, and construction safety comes first on every project.
General Contractor in the Quad Cities.
Our Quad Cities team has built projects including the IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union headquarters, the R. Richard Bittner Downtown YMCA in Davenport, and the Courtyard by Marriott in Bettendorf.
As a construction company in the Quad Cities, we deliver preconstruction, general contracting, and design build services with frequent, transparent communication, so you always know where your project stands.
Design build is how we deliver many Quad Cities projects, with one team responsible for both design and construction. That approach gives owners earlier clarity on cost and schedule, and it’s how we delivered the Rock Island Federal Building and the MercyOne Genesis Emergency Department.
We build for higher education and healthcare owners across the region, including the Center for Student Life at Augustana College in Rock Island, Black Hawk College, the Rock Island Federal Building, and UnityPoint Health Clinic Mulberry.
Real Estate Development in the Quad Cities.
Russell develops as well as builds.
Russell Industrial Park is a 95-acre industrial development at 8730 Northwest Boulevard in Davenport, anchored by a 251,100 s.f. leased warehouse building. Birchwood South is a mixed-use retail development on East 53rd Street, across from our headquarters, with Starbucks, Jersey Mike’s, and Panda Express among its users.
Our real estate development services cover land transactions and financing, site evaluation, city approvals, design, and construction under one team.
