Three row house-style buildings with a total of 20 units are proposed to be built on 3 acres of the former AIB College of Business campus, Des Moines city documents show.

Last summer, Tina Smothers of Stuart and Jason Grove of Adel bought the former college campus for $7.5 million. The 14.5-acre site includes seven buildings and an undeveloped 3.1-acre parcel along Fleur Drive. The development team in March sold the vacant ground at 2710 Fleur Drive for $700,000 to developer Bill Kimberley.

Last week, the Des Moines Plan and Zoning Commission approved the Planned Unit
Development Final Development Plan for the project called Pinnacle on Fleur.

The buildings, each with four levels, would include stone facades on the lower halves of the structures; the upper halves would include contrasting colors of fiber cement board panels. A tuck-under garage would be included with each unit.
