Prairie Trail Plaza Shoppes #4

Project Overview

With development of residential on Ankeny’s southwest side, the need for retail followed. Plaza Shoppes at Prairie Trail are tucked next to the largest grocery store in the city. This flexible plaza makes for a destination for many types of stores. The tenants range from restaurants and eye care, to a salon and nutrition outlets and more. The walkability of the strip was important in this area allowing one to park and shop. The sidewalks are lined with trees and accent lighting creating a human centric site. The facades differ from tenant to tenant creating a unique feel for each space. The architectural detailing was not overlooked as many materials make up each distinct building. Although there is street parking, much of the parking resides behind the buildings with entrances into each space on both sides. This parking arrangement keeps a neighborhood atmosphere.
