The project – Fusion East at 1170 Tuttle St. and Fusion West at 1240 Tuttle St. – is part of Hubbell Realty Co.’s 84-acre Gray’s Station, located south of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway between Southwest 11th and Southwest 16th streets. 

Development of the urban neighborhood, a former industrial site, is expected to be completed in about 10 years. The development will include pocket parks and bike-friendly streets and will be connected to Gray’s Lake.

Des Moines’ plan and zoning commission on Thursday will hold a public hearing on the proposed townhouse project. Each unit in the three-story, row-house-style buildings will have a two-vehicle attached garage. The townhouses will be available for rent in late 2020.

Currently under construction at Gray’s Station is Linc, a 227-apartment building at Southwest 11th and M.L. King Parkway. Leasing of units in the $48 million apartment building, which will be the gateway into Gray’s Station, will begin in early 2021.

Construction of owner-occupied townhouses is expected to begin later this summer, Hubbell officials said.
