Spaces once occupied by former megastore anchors like Sears, Younkers, and Toys-R-Us have been reimagined into community-serving uses, including the state-of-the-art Genesis Health Club fitness facility and multi-sports complex, as well as a new VA outpatient clinic. These strategic outlot opportunities offer developers and retailers the chance to capitalize on the project’s momentum, positioned within a thriving mixed-use environment that includes a de-malled retail plaza with national retailers, multifamily residential developments, and a community college satellite campus.The multi-phase plan creates a dynamic, community-oriented destination that supports Des Moines’ health, wellness, and entertainment needs, making these available outlots an ideal investment in one of the city’s most promising redevelopment success stories.
