Midwest City Scoop: Construction Starts in Des Moines
Justin Doyle Principal Modus Engineering
“A dominant theme throughout Des Moines developments this year will be diversity,” Doyle says. “For (Modus) to be able to create a diverse Des Moines metropolitan area requires us to consciously make an effort toward affordable housing, market-rate housing and homeownership opportunities, not only for the core but also increasingly for outside the area. All of that leads to the retail side of what we can do in order to grow commerce that’s in close proximity to where people live or work, to create a metro area that is more vibrant from an economic standpoint.”
