Downing

Downing Downing's mission is to be the preferred construction resource for growing companies. DESIGN. BUILD. SUCCESS.® Downing Construction Inc. was founded in 1966 by D.

Robert (Bob) Downing. Bob started with one 8-by-20 foot trailer, one employee, and two trucks. By the 1970’s Downing built nearly half the houses constructed in Indianola, Iowa. Since its inception the leaders inside Downing have leaned toward opportunity and change allowing it to become what it is today. What once was a successful local residential construction company has become a thriving regio

nal commercial construction company whose reach continues to grow. In 2019 Justin Brown and Joe Butler took over full ownership of Downing. Together they focused on creating an environment that attracts talent and like minded individuals to come together in collaboration and creativity. By early 2020, architecture and interior design services became a part of Downing's single source solution, providing our clients with the best possible experience in a true design build environment. Scott Schurman joined the ownership group in 2023. At Downing we are incredibly proud of our history and very excited about our future. Our team is committed and we are driven to deliver the results our clients have come to expect.

Some builds are about new beginnings. This one is about bringing something meaningful back.

Orlondo’s is taking shape with brick going up, paint going on, lighting coming together, and the walk-in cooler now in place. The details are creating a space that feels inviting, timeless, and nostalgic, with a fresh, elevated energy.

Soft lighting, rich earthy tones, and layered textures bring character while keeping what feels familiar and adding a contemporary feel. All coming together to create a place for families to gather.
