8.9 Acres of Commercial-Ready Land, in a High-Traffic Community
In the center of an up-and-coming Altoona community lies 8.9 acres of available land, ripe for commercial development.
The 2 parcels which make up the property are located across the street (1st Ave S) from one another, both sitting off Edwin W. Skinner Pkwy. They’re separated only by a new Casey’s location, which will be beneficial in driving traffic to the area. Plus, they’re in a spot that both business owners and customers will appreciate.
The 1st Ave S & Edwin W. Skinner Pkwy property features close proximity to new residential developments, parks and schools, and other prominent locations like Spring Creek Sports Complex.
Major transportation routes and popular entertainment destinations are just a short drive away, too. The property is only about 5 miles from I-80 and U.S. Route 65 (as well as Altoona’s Prairie Crossing area), and it’s only 20 minutes from downtown Des Moines.
Two Parcels, on Either Side of 1st Ave S
- Ironwood South: 1.14 acres
- Corner of 1st Ave S & Edwin W. Skinner Pkwy: 7.77 acres
