The center of it all.

Kettlestone Central is a thoughtfully designed 164-acre master-planned community that brings together vibrant residential neighborhoods, walkable retail, and a dynamic town center experience. Strategically located at the highly trafficked intersection of Grand Prairie Parkway and Westown Parkway, Kettlestone Central is positioned to become one of the region’s premier destinations for living, dining, shopping, and entertainment.

​

At the heart of the development is a thriving commercial corridor with exceptional visibility and access along Grand Prairie Parkway—serving nearly 30,000 vehicles per day. This high-exposure setting is complemented by strong experiential anchors, including the 140,000-square-foot All Iowa Attack basketball complex, which attracts approximately 500,000 visitors annually and fuels consistent activity throughout the year.

​

Kettlestone Central is also home to Kettlestone Social, a first-of-its-kind destination in the Des Moines market. This unique gathering place blends a curated food hall featuring top local operators with best-in-class entertainment offerings—pickleball, duckpin bowling, arcade games, indoor-outdoor social spaces, and Waukee’s first-ever rooftop bar. Adding to the excitement, Exile Brewing Company has announced plans to join Kettlestone Social, bringing one of Iowa’s most recognized craft brands into the mix.

​

Designed as a true mixed-use town center, Kettlestone Central will include nearly 1,200 residential units, creating a built-in community of more than 2,000 residents. With housing seamlessly integrated alongside retail, dining, office, medical, and entertainment uses, everything is connected by a highly walkable and engaging environment.

​

Whether you're a resident looking for everyday convenience, a visitor seeking new experiences, or a retailer ready to be part of a growing destination, Kettlestone Central offers unmatched opportunity in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the region.
