Airport Business Park is a 300 acre development in the City of Des Moines situated south of new Army Post Road, north of County Line Road and east of Highway 28. Airport Business Park is a Planned Business Park zoning district with very strict protective building covenants which ensure that all development in the Park will continue to be of consistent high quality and that no uses will be permitted which are incompatible with a first class business park. Permitted uses include office, warehouse, flex space, research and development, light manufacturing, and support commercial.
Location and Access
The Park is served by relocated Army Post Road which is contiguous with the north property line of the Park and Southern Loop Freeway (Highway 5), which bisects the Park. Highway 5 connects with Highway 65 to the east and with Interstate 35/80 to the west. The Park is 6.7 miles from downtown Des Moines, 1.9 miles from the West Des Moines City limits, and 5.4 miles from Interstate 35/80. Access to the Park from downtown is south on Fleur Drive and west along new Army Post Road. Highway 5 west connects directly to Interstate 35/80. Airport Business Park also has convenient access to the Des Moines Airport and to west side and south side Des Moines neighborhoods, as well as access to the western suburbs via Army Post Road and SW 63rd Street or Highway 5.
Many sites within the Park have visibility from both relocated Army Post Road and Highway 5. More than sixty-five percent of the sites in the Park have frontage on new Army Post Road or Highway 5. South of the Park are Echo Valley Country Club, the City of Norwalk and several new residential developments. The Des Moines Airport is one-half mile north of the Park. The Park has entrances on new Army Post Road, Highway 28 and County Line Road.
