Jordan Creek Town Center

Jordan Creek Town Center in West Des Moines, Iowa opened as the state’s largest shopping center. Through an owner-led design team, the spotlight shifted from a traditional mid-western mall to a “Town Center” setting on 200 acres. In the main two-level retail center, or most shops feature dual frontage into the mall and exterior entrances to the streetscape that creates the attractive pedestrian-style promenade. It includes more than 100 retail, dining and entertainment outlets. The central shopping area with a 3.5-acre feature lake includes play areas, an amphitheatre, lakefront dining and outdoor cafes. The lake itself includes fountains, waterfalls, a bike trail and multiple walkways. All these features are combined with the largest movie theater in Iowa, state of the art fire detection and suppression, and a variety of exterior facades and finishes.
