West Des Moines-based Next Phase Development LLC has acquired nearly 9 undeveloped acres in a commerce park in southwest Des Moines where it plans to develop a high-bay warehouse with office space.

The multi-user warehouse (rendering above) will include 32-foot clear height, the useable height to which a tenant can store products on racking. The 45,100-square-foot building will also include three stories of corner office space with views of downtown Des Moines’ skyline, said Reid Tamisiea, managing principal and president of Next Phase Development.

“It will be Class A space. I don’t know if I’d call it flex property but it does have flexibility within the building,” he said.

Next Phase Development paid Airport Development LC, managed by Knapp Properties LC, $1.37 million for the property which includes three parcels: 5900 and 6000 Park Ave. and 6001 Thornton Ave, Polk County real estate records show. The parcels, which range in size between 2.7 and 3.4 acres, abut one another.

The multi-tenant building is planned for 6001 Thornton Ave., Tamisiea said. Des Moines’ city staff are reviewing the site plan.

Next Phase Development will relocate from West Des Moines to the new building when construction is completed, Tamisiea said.

The company plans to develop the 2.7-acre parcels at 5900 and 6000 Park Ave. with some type of flexible warehouse space in the near future.

Tamisiea said the area has access to Iowa Highway 5 and Interstate 235. “A lot of the people we work with want to be in the western part of Des Moines,” he said. “It’s where they live, work and play.”
