WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes
