H.J. Russell & Company Introduces S.P.A.C.E. Venues Division

There aren’t too many companies that can claim to be a bigger part of constructing Atlanta’s skyline and urban development than H.J. Russell & Company. It was the late Herman J. Russell – nationally recognized entrepreneur and philanthropist, and the founder of one of the nation’s most profitable minority-owned business empires – who invested in developing the west side of Atlanta before the west side was trendy. It is the west side of Atlanta where, exactly 25 years apart, the highly anticipated Mercedes-Benz Stadium, built with Russell’s involvement as part of the HHRM Joint Venture (JV) (Holder, Hunt, Russell, Moody), and the soon to be demolished Georgia Dome was built as part of the Barton Malow, Beers, Holder, Russell JV.
As our first joint venture sports and entertainment venue project disappears from the Atlanta skyline, a new venture emerges. We are leveraging our 25 years of industry-specific expertise in this increasingly sought-after and competitive market, and launching S.P.A.C.E. Venues – a division of H.J. Russell & Company Program Management Services to focus on Sports, Public Assembly, Convention and Entertainment venues. Read more
