The 26-story apartment tower planned for the spot once occupied by Younkers Department Store in downtown Des Moines will include a swimming pool on its roof.
Blackbird Development is releasing details of the $85 million project it calls 701 Walnut.
The 300,000 square-foot tower will house 276 apartments and ground floor commercial space.
Blackbird is also renovating the Wilkins Building next door, home of the Younkers Tea Room.
A massive fire destroyed the Younkers Building in 2014, leaving an empty space in the heart of Des Moines’ downtown.
