Redeveloping
Des Moines
A new day is coming! Introducing the new campus of Wesley Des Moines!
Wesley is redeveloping its Des Moines campus in order to provide for more modern amenities and independent lifestyles. The redevelopment will progress in a series of phases and is expected to be completed in 2022.
Phase 1A: Cottages
The first phase of the redevelopment created new Cottage clusters on the south side of the campus. These Cottage homes were completed in 2017 and are available in a variety of styles.
Phase 1B: Cottages & Brownstone
To finish Phase I, another three Cottage clusters were built along with the two story, 24 apartment Brownstone building.
Phase 2: Garden Apartments
Phase 2 of the Des Moines redevelopment saw the construction of the new Gardens building. The new apartments feature a beautiful modern design and terrific views of the surrounding area and Puget Sound.
Phase 3-4: Catered Living Memory Care Apartments & Care Center
Phase 3-4 will involve the construction of the new housing with services/Catered Living and memory care apartments as well as 11 new Cottage homes. This last phase of construction will also introduce a 60 bed care center with private suites in smaller neighborhood settings.

- Why is Wesley redeveloping its Des Moines campus?
Wesley's mission is to meet the physical, social and spiritual needs of those we serve. As we continue to serve our community, we must strive to meet the changing needs and wants of new generations of older adults and their families. - What does this mean for current residents? Where will they live?
Wesley is committed to the residents we serve today. This grand project has been phased in order to accommodate current residents and relocate them in comparable accommodations. Current buildings will be deconstructed only after the new buildings are completed and residents have relocated to their new homes. - When will this be completed?
The entire redevelopment project is expected to be completed in 2024, but new homes and buildings will be completed in phases until that time. Please see the phasing plan above for more details.
