WHAT: Construction of six two-story, single-family houses with full basements and three-car garages. Houses will range in size from 2,722 square feet to 3,818 square feet, sell for about $700,000 and include 10-year property tax abatement.

WHERE: 1600 block of High Street in Des Moines

DEVELOPER: Christensen Development

BUILDER: KRM Development of Urbandale

UPDATE: The Des Moines City Council on Sept. 9 approved rezoning the tract to neighborhood pedestrian commercial district from general retail and commercial. Christensen Development is working with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore to determine whether anything can be salvaged from the two structures that are on the property. When that is done, the buildings will be razed. Construction of the houses is expected to begin in spring.
