Dan Dolan Homes

For over fifteen years Dan Dolan Homes has built throughout the eastern Iowa area, achieving and maintaining a reputation for quality, reliability, and value in new construction. The tradition continues today with projects underway in Davenport, Muscatine, Blue Grass, LeClaire, Clinton and Iowa City. Dan Dolan brings many years of experience and hard work into his company. It all started back in 1979 when Dan pursued a career in petroleum exploration working on offshore drilling ships. Traveling around the world, the job demanded rigorous working hours, hard work, and months away from home. After ten years in the petroleum industry, Dan settled down in Iowa, trained and graduated as an electrician, and with, wife Celeste started his family. His career in real estate started in the mid-eighties when he began purchasing homes to renovate and rent. The transition into building homes was a natural progression upon realization that building new homes would make more housing available to the community than renovating existing older homes. In 1991 he began building and selling homes, and in 1995 acquired land for the first sub-division in Blue Grass, with the first home offered for sale in 1997.
	To date, Dan Dolan Homes has successfully completed over 200 homes, with many more on the horizon. In Blue Grass, the Towne & Country Additions have 115 developed lots and 90 homes built, with 15 undeveloped lots in the future 7th addition. In Davenport, Dolan’s 53rd Street Additions at Northwest Crossing have been completed, and the sixth addition on Northwest Circle has the first home sold. Dan is presently building the model home for his General Quarters addition in Iowa City with the first home sold in March of 2008. The first addition of General Quarters has 29 lots. Prairie Highlands, a small rural addition in Muscatine just outside of Blue Grass, was completed this past summer with the first home sold in January.

Dan’s strategy of vertically integrating the business, from land acquisition through development, home construction, and marketing, allows his company to provide a home of the highest quality and at a very affordable price.

	Dan’s efforts at building Energy Star-efficient housing, achieve multiple objectives, from high customer approval, creation of "Green" marketing opportunities, and lifelong savings for his customers. Dan Dolan has been recognized in the industry with many awards including: * Class valedictorian IBEW Journeyman Electrician class 1991 * Quad City Homebuilders Association Best Parade Home multiple awards * Mid American Energy Advantage New Homes Program Winners Circle 2005, 2006 & 2007. * Business Advisory Council’s 2006 Businessman of the Year * Mel Foster Company Chairman’s Club 2003-2007

Dan continues this tradition of excellence by building energy efficient and affordable homes for all of his customers. He currently resides in rural Muscatine with his wife Celeste and five children, whom he credits with helping him to become the success that he is today.
