A few recent updates for Des Moines:
The 7th and Grand Parking Garage renderings have been released, and the building (including parking garage) is proposed to have 18 stories, 12 stories of apartments, 6 floors of garage, with street level and skywalk level retail space included.
New proposal just south of the AAA ballpark in downtown called Dunham Square. This is a 182 unit apartment project spread among 3 buildings, with plans for an additional mixed use building to be added with a later phase.
The historic Midland Building has been purchased by a developer specializing in historic preservation, with a high likelihood that at least a portion of the building gets converted to residential.
