Midwest City Scoop: Construction Starts in Des Moines
Michael Tousley Executive Vice President, General Manager The Weitz Co.
“From Weitz’s perspective, our backlog is as strong as it’s been in a number of years,” Tousley says. “Some of that is related to a couple of projects that got pushed from late 2018 into ’19, but [we are still in the] midst of a big data center boom that continues. There’s been no real turndown in the data center world, so that’s something that’s been pretty remarkable for the last five-plus years. A bit of a pleasant surprise is the number of office projects that we’re involved in, three office projects underway, all private business, corporate projects.”
