Principal Financial Group Cedar Falls Facility

DCI Group served the Principal Financial Group as the Owners Representative for development and construction of their Cedar Falls corporate facility.

The build-to-suit project was a 45,500 square-foot office structure with lease-back provisions, all hinging on a very aggressive schedule. The construction began in August of 2011 and was complete by July of 2012.  DCI Group was able to achieve the delicate balance between strategy, design, business unit needs, project schedule, and budget.

Representing the Principal Financial Group from groundbreaking to final closeout, DCI Group also coordinated with local contractors and trades in the Cedar Valley, while capitalizing on the synergies of both the Des Moines and Cedar Falls business unit staff. One small indicator of the diligent planning involved in the project was the building turnover that took place over a single weekend. DCI Group played an instrumental role in negotiating a 10-year warranty on the project with the site developer.
