Project Description

75 acre mixed use development. $125,000,000.00 construction cost when fully built out. Currently there are 655.922 SF built w/an additional 401,922 SF proposed for a total fully built out at just over 1 million SF. Simonson has been involved from the beginning of the project working on the site master plan and the landscaping plan. Six out parcels were sold and developed by other entities including the Super Target anchor. Twelve structures have been built on the remaining West Glen property and Simonson has been the architect for nine of those including: the six buildings that constitute the Avenue of the Arts; the Keystone, a mixed use focal point at the north terminus of West Glen Drive w/51 apartments over 30,000 SF of commercial space and below grade parking: the Promenade Plaza, a 100,000 SF, 4 story commercial building; and the Forum, an entertainment venue. The West Des Moines development has become an entertainment destination with 10 dining and nightspot locations.
