The Accel Group Is Expanding & Relocationg

May 21, 2020 

(Cedar Rapids, IA)- Ahmann Companies is excited to announce The Accel Group will be expanding & relocating to their new location; occupying the second and third floor of a newly constructed mixed-use office/retail building at The Fountains Development. Fusion Architects is finalizing plans for the new building, and Compass Commercial Services broke ground back in April 2020 with a completion date of Spring/Summer 2021. Q4 Real Estate has been working closely with The Accel Group, Ahmann Companies, and The Fountains to broker this transaction.

The Fountains is a mixed-use work/play development on approximately 19 acres, located at the intersection of Edgewood Rd, Blairs Ferry Rd, and Highway 100 extension. With The Accel Group’s relocation, they will be bringing roughly 60+ jobs to The Fountains with room for future growth. An additional 11,000 SF of lease space will be available on the first floor. With traffic counts that exceed 30,000 cars per day, this property is ideal for any commercial user looking for prime visibility in a great location.

“With continued growth and a vision that includes further expansion regionally, we are excited for the opportunity to design and lease a space to better serve our staff and clients,” said Tim Gassmann, CEO of The Accel Group. “What began as a concept has morphed into a testament of the culture and ambitions of our company.”

“With so much concerning economic news in our country today, we are grateful to be able to send a positive message of expansion in our community that will result in new jobs, innovation and unmatched service to clients.”
– Kevin Mease, Partner with The Accel Group

“We are honored to represent both parties of this transaction, and excited to see what they will bring to the Northeast side of Cedar Rapids. We know they will be a great addition to The Fountains, and we look forward to continue working with them.”

Ahmann Companies is a firm believer in our ability to help companies like Accel meet their growth needs. Because Q4 Real Estate, Fusion Architects, and Compass Commercial Services are all under the same roof, we can work closely together throughout the entire process to exceed our client’s expectations. This is a perfect example of how we collaborate with our client, get creative, and make deals happen. We look forward to seeing The Accel Group’s continued success over the next decade.”
