Valley West Mall to Start Redevelopment

The Valley West Mall Redevelopment is a rezoning project aimed at transforming the shopping center in West Des Moines into a vibrant mixed-use development. Under the new zoning plan, the 60-acre site will be redesigned to house residential units, office spaces, and entertainment venues. The redevelopment will provide new housing options, office spaces to attract businesses, and a range of entertainment options, turning the mall into a modern, multi-functional hub for both residents and visitors.

This redevelopment project is part of a broader trend in many cities to repurpose underutilized mall properties into thriving, diverse neighborhoods. For West Des Moines, the revitalization of Valley West Mall is seen as a crucial step in enhancing the city’s growth and appeal. By blending residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, the project is expected to generate increased foot traffic, new economic opportunities, and a more pedestrian-friendly environment. As construction progresses, Valley West Mall Redevelopment promises to redefine the heart of West Des Moines, offering a model for how suburban spaces can evolve to meet the demands of a changing landscape.
