Hubbell Realty Co. will host a public grand opening celebration on Thursday, October 24, 2024, to mark the completion of three major projects at the Gray’s Station development in downtown Des Moines. The event, scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 520 SW 13th St., highlights the expansion of the $500 million mixed-use community with a new clubhouse, the latest phase of the LINC apartment complex, and the debut of the Telus condominium project.
What features are included in the new Gray’s Station Clubhouse?
The new Gray’s Station Clubhouse is a $3 million facility designed to serve as a central social hub for the community. According to Hubbell Realty Co., the structure houses a full-service fitness center and indoor event space for resident use. Exterior amenities include a swimming pool, a pool deck equipped with fire pits and grilling stations, and a dedicated outdoor stage for community programming. The clubhouse acts as a focal point for the development, which has been under construction on the southern edge of downtown since 2016.
How is the LINC apartment expansion progressing?
The fourth phase of the LINC at Gray’s Station adds 135 residential units to the downtown market. Official City of Des Moines building permit records from 2025 value this phase of construction at approximately $20 million. The units feature 51 tuck-under garages to address parking needs in the high-density area. Hubbell Realty reports that the project has maintained steady leasing momentum, with 50% of the newly completed units already occupied.
What details are available for the Telus condominium project?
Telus represents the latest for-sale residential offering at Gray’s Station, providing an alternative to the site’s rental-heavy inventory. The first phase consists of 32 condominium units. These properties range from 760 square feet for one-bedroom layouts to 1,450 square feet for larger configurations. Construction filings issued in September 2025 confirm a project valuation of nearly $6.4 million for this initial phase. By adding for-sale condos, developers are diversifying the housing stock in the Gray’s Lake area, moving beyond the apartment-only model that characterized earlier stages of the district.
Event logistics for the grand opening
The grand opening event is open to the public and features live music, appetizers, and drinks. A formal ceremony is scheduled to take place at 4:30 p.m. The location, 520 SW 13th St., is situated within the heart of the Gray’s Station master-planned community. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the clubhouse and view the model units for both the LINC apartments and the Telus condominiums.
