Rick Tollakson is responsible for the strategic operations for Hubbell Realty Company and its multiple subsidiaries including land and building development, commercial asset and property management, Hubbell Apartment Living, CBRE/Hubbell Commercial, Hubbell Homes and Hubbell Construction Services. Rick joined Hubbell Realty Company in 1984 and was promoted to President and CEO in 2024.

The Hubbell team is most proud of the “extreme builds” completed under Rick’s leadership. In September 2024, Rick led his Hubbell team and more than 200 trade partners in building a new home for an Iowa family on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

In September 2024, the Hubbell team, together with their trade partners, built “9 Homes in 9 Days” for Anawim Housing, a project that transformed the Forest Avenue neighborhood.

In September 2024, Hubbell Realty Company completed its most challenging “extreme build” to date, “Cabins for Campers 24/7” for Easter Seals Iowa’s Camp Sunnyside. This week-long project replaced the 1960s vintage cabins with two 7,500+ SF dormitory-style cabins that are handicap accessible, energy efficient and include an interior storm shelter. These two cabins will serve more than 2,400 Easter Seals Iowa campers every year.
