Building on a St. Louis Legacy.

Russell’s St. Louis office traces its roots to 1922, when Horace B. Deal founded H.B. Deal & Company, Inc. Over the years the company’s name, owners, and office locations changed, but its focus on delivering excellence in the St. Louis construction market did not.

In 2020, HBD Construction, one of St. Louis’s oldest contractors, merged with Russell, bringing a century of local experience together with our construction and real estate development services.

Community Engagement in St. Louis.

Giving back is a core value at Russell, and our St. Louis team is steadily growing its involvement in the community. Our employees volunteer alongside colleagues from every Russell office during events like Day of Caring, and our RussellGives program supports nonprofits in the communities where we build.

We strive to create a culture where our employees feel encouraged to give back in whatever capacity they are able.
