Project Spotlight: Russell Investments

by | Oct 1, 2026 | Blog

When Russell Investments set out to build a modern, technology-driven workplace at its new Rainier Square headquarters, the company needed a partner who could align closely with their goals and deliver across multiple, tightly connected systems. Prime brought exactly that: an integrated team of electrical and low voltage experts all under one roof, working hand in hand with the Russell Investments team throughout the build.

A key advantage on this project was Prime’s ability to deliver multiple scopes in-house. Our team delivered electrical infrastructure, structured cabling, access control, CCTV, AV systems, and network connectivity throughout the 90,000 SF space. The AV scope included a multipurpose training and all-hands space designed to support video conferencing, live streaming, employee training, and company-wide communications. As part of a design-build approach, Prime collaborated closely with Russell Investments’ IT and facilities teams to develop updated technology standards while identifying solutions that met the project’s goals and budget.

The project’s tight schedule added another layer of complexity. Prime’s teams coordinated early procurement efforts, phased construction activities, and the relocation of critical technology from Russell Investments’ previous office within a tight 6-month move-in window. Network equipment, cameras, wireless access points, displays, and other existing technology were carefully transitioned into the new space to help minimize disruption. Through proactive planning, transparency, and collaboration with stakeholders, the Prime team successfully supported occupancy while maintaining project momentum.

By integrating electrical and low voltage expertise, the Prime team was able to work through coordination challenges and potential scope gaps internally, streamlining communication and creating a more efficient experience for the customer. This collaborative approach helped build a strong partnership that continues today, with Prime supporting ongoing improvements and technology initiatives for Russell Investments beyond the original project.

We highly recommend Prime as a trusted partner for electrical and technology solutions. Their team successfully delivered a complex project that brought together electrical infrastructure, AV systems, and integrated technology solutions to support our global operations. Their expertise, responsiveness, attention to detail, and commitment to quality resulted in an exceptional outcome.

Beyond the successful project delivery, Prime has continued to be a valued partner, demonstrating the same level of responsiveness, collaboration, and commitment to our needs post-project. Their ability to build a strong, lasting partnership and provide ongoing support sets them apart. We are proud to recommend Prime as an outstanding partner both during project execution and beyond.
