Downtown Des Moines is experiencing an urban renaissance from the core outward. Looking ahead at 2014, there are a handful of projects set to make a transformative impact on the downtown area. The Des Moines Register looks at many of these projects, totaling $800mm, and gathers thoughts from local experts and leaders on why we are in such a growth phase here. Nelson Construction & Development is proud to be contributing to this transformation with the renovation of the Des Moines Building at Sixth and Locust.
