“Together, we have created an exciting destination”

Here’s What’s Happening Next
In Iowa’s Rising Star
The Outlets of Des Moines is just the first phase of The Shoppes at Prairie Crossing, which will feature additional retail space, along with lifestyle and dining attractions.
Retail brings more retail. Now that Altoona is Central Iowa’s premier shopping & entertainment destination, the local industry has momentum to grow.
Altoona is already central Iowa’s retail destination. Now, with more restaurants, more retail and more reasons to visit, Iowa’s Rising Star is more attractive than ever.
“One of the most powerful elements of success in a community is positive momentum.”
“We are grateful to New England Development for selecting Altoona for this outlet center and creating yet another wave of momentum.”
