About

Shaped by nature and inspired by vision, Kettlestone is transforming 1,500 acres on Waukee's southern edge into a vibrant, connected community. Named for the glacial kettles and stones that define Iowa's landscape, this development blends natural beauty with modern design to create a true sense of place.

Since breaking ground on the Kettlestone development on November 1, 2013, much of the vision is already becoming reality. Kettlestone is an innovative mixed-use development where visitors will find shopping, dining and personal services as well as parks, ponds and trails. Located 15 miles west of downtown Des Moines, Kettlestone's 2.1-mile, four-lane/six-lane Grand Prairie Parkway provides a direct link to Interstate 80, creating unmatched accessibility. Kettlestone is home to KeeTown Loop, Waukee’s premier entertainment district, and major employers, restaurants and hospitality businesses have already established their presence here.

Waukee, with a current estimated population of 34,420, is recognized as the fastest-growing, large city in Iowa and is located in Dallas County – the fourth fastest-growing county in the U.S. 

Over the next 20 years, Kettlestone will continue to grow and support up to 7,000 new housing units, 3.8-million square feet of commercial retail space and 5.5-million square feet of commercial office space.
