Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Inc.
Developer: Mid-America Group
Urbandale, Iowa
Client Challenge:
When Rain and Hail outgrew its leased space, it turned to its long-term business partners—SVPA and Mid-America Group. SVPA was challenged to design a building to meet Rain and Hail Insurance Services’ specific requirements for interior uses and functions; provide Mid-American Group with a building of high quality and lasting value; and deliver an economically feasible asset for the developers’ portfolio within a narrow timeframe.
SVPA Solution:
After analyzing Rain and Hail Insurance Services’ current and future space needs, SVPA designed a distinctive 90,900-s.f. office building to anchor Mid-America Group’s Northpark Business Park development. The design reflects the insurance company’s strength and stability and incorporates three distinct-but-connected buildings. These facilities house a three-story open office, a two-story reception/board room rotunda and a single-story training center with food service. The project was designed and constructed with a strong bias toward durability and energy efficiency, and uses windows and a curtain wall that exceed industry standards.
