PRIME LOCATION HISTORIC DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
204 SW 2nd St, Des Moines IA 50309

This upcoming development is designed around a simple but powerful idea: create a place where people don’t just live — they belong. While not age-restricted, the community is intentionally curated to attract residents who value connection, wellness, and purpose. The environment will encourage neighbors to know one another, support one another, and stay active together through thoughtfully designed shared spaces, programming, and everyday interactions. Drawing inspiration from Blue Zone principles, the development will emphasize walkability, natural movement, social engagement, healthy lifestyle choices, and a built environment that subtly supports longevity and well-being.
