Property Description
Discover a versatile, extensively renovated commercial property in the desirable western suburbs of Des Moines. Located at 8500 Franklin Avenue in Clive, this freestanding brick building offers approximately 11,800 SF of space across two levels, including 6,300 SF on the main floor and 5,500 SF of semi-finished lower-level space.
Previously operated as a childcare facility, the property has undergone a substantial interior transformation featuring updated windows, drywall, ceilings, flooring, and modern finishes. The thoughtfully designed space includes a welcoming reception area, ten private offices, two glass-enclosed conference rooms, and a full commercial kitchen.
