Former Little Sprouts Childcare
Former day-care facility with playgrounds
Marketing description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a freestanding, purpose-built childcare facility at 4541 Fleur Drive in Des Moines, Iowa. Situated on the city's primary airport corridor — a high-traffic arterial connecting Downtown Des Moines to Des Moines International Airport — the property benefits from outstanding visibility, daily commuter traffic, and a dense surrounding workforce population. The building was designed and constructed specifically for childcare use, featuring dedicated classrooms, multiple outdoor playground structures, and compliant life-safety infrastructure, making it exceptionally difficult to replicate at today's construction costs.
Investment highlights
Fleur Drive is a rare corridor that serves both inbound travelers and outbound commuters simultaneously — generating consistent morning and evening traffic patterns that benefit time-sensitive service businesses. The airport adjacency creates demand for hospitality, logistics support, food service, and personal services. For a childcare operator specifically, this corridor delivers the two most critical location factors: high parental traffic (commuters with children) and proximity to a large, shift-based workforce that requires reliable, early-opening childcare. The recently completed $23M Fleur corridor reconstruction has reset investor and tenant expectations for this stretch — new national retailers and service concepts are actively evaluating the corridor.
