First Phase of Wesley Home’s Des Moines Senior Living Campus is Complete!

The first phase of Wesley’s Des Moines campus redevelopment is complete and we’re on our way to the next stage of development! WALSH broke ground in October 2016 and the team achieved TCO Friday 8-31-18 on our final cottage building – one work day ahead of schedule! The project included phased replacement of existing cottage buildings with nine new cottages (32 units) and a 24-unit brownstone. Before and after aerial photos by Aequalis are attached to give an idea of the tran…sformation taking place on this beautiful campus.

Phase 2 includes a new three-story Town Center with two residential wings and 151 units in 310,000 sf. After notice to proceed on 8-23, our site team is rolling right into this exciting new phase.

Thank you to all our Wesley Homes partners, InSite Architects, and the following WALSH/RDF folks who had a part in making this project a success: Anthony Mizin, Mike Jensen, Jeremiah Phillips, Brian Lillybridge, Tom Koviak, Justin Nieto, Ryan Mertes, Sharon Libby, Cindie Banta, Claudia Coogan, Aaron Bishop, Marc Streleski, Mike Bang and the RDF Concrete + WRB/Window field crews. Thanks to William Wright Photography for the lovely finished photos.

Great job to all involved!

Thanks to the Team at our Blackburn Building integrated health and housing project!

Great group of WALSH and RDF folks at our Blackburn Building integrated health and housing project for Central City Concern! The project, designed by Ankrom Moisan Architects, Inc., originally known as the Eastside Health Center, is part of the “Housing is Health” initiative. The initiative is a partnership between CCC and six local hospitals and health organizations to provide supportive, affordable housing.

The Blackburn Building, named after former CCC President Ed Blackburn, will include affordable housing, health care facilities, a pharmacy and commercial retail space. The 6-story integrated housing and clinical services building will focus on recovery and mental health services, with some targeted primary care services. The clinic will serve about 3,000 patients annually.

Thanks to the WALSH Team of Aaron Elliott, Matt Godt, Duane Stearns, Brian Ames, Steffen Schulz and Linda Woolery for their dedicated efforts building safely on a tight site near the MAX line!
