Community Choice Credit Union has broken ground on a new, mixed-used financial center in Waukee’s Kettlestone Retail Community District.

The credit union, in partnership with Caliber Company, broke ground at the site, 2780 Grand Prairie Parkway, on Jan. 15.

The two-story facility will include a restaurant, flex space and outdoor roof patio for fundraisers and community events. A building permit issued in December valued the construction of the building at $5.3 million.

“We’ve always brought our UNbanking spirit to community events,” Josh Cook, Community Choice CEO and president, said in a news release. “We’re humbled to create our own space to welcome community members and support local organizations while taking care of our members’ financial needs.”

The facility is Community Choice’s 12th branch and its second in Waukee.
