5706 SW 9th Street
Land | 0.632 acres
Marketing description
A prime commercial redevelopment opportunity at 5706 SW 9th Street, situated within the vibrant South Des Moines submarket. This highly visible property features a 0.632-acre rectangular lot totaling 27,546 square feet with versatile NX1 - Neighborhood Mix District zoning, positioning the site for future neighborhood-scale redevelopment.
Located within the 7 SW 9th Corridor SSMID, the asset benefits from ongoing public and private corridor investment, strong street visibility, and an established location along one of South Des Moines' active commercial corridors. The site is level, fully buildable, and supported by existing utility access, making it well-suited for developers seeking an infill opportunity with flexible future use potential.
The property includes an existing 1,503 SF structure, along with a 396 SF frame garage with loft and a 144 SF masonry shed. However, the existing improvements contribute limited value relative to the land's redevelopment potential. As a result, the recommended strategy is to position the asset based on land value and future redevelopment opportunity.
Investment highlights
- NX1 ZONING - FLEXIBLE REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: NX1 - Neighborhood Mix District zoning supports a range of neighborhood-scale commercial, residential, and mixed-use redevelopment concepts. This zoning provides flexibility for future use and helps reduce entitlement friction for buyers evaluating the site as a redevelopment opportunity.
- 7 SW 9TH CORRIDOR SSMID - ACTIVE PUBLIC / PRIVATE INVESTMENT: The 7 SW 9th Corridor SSMID reflects an ongoing commitment by the City of Des Moines and local stakeholders to support beautification, infrastructure, and economic vitality along the corridor. This designation enhances the property's long-term redevelopment positioning.
- SCARCE INFILL SUPPLY - ESTABLISHED SOUTH DES MOINES LOCATION: The property offers a rare infill land opportunity along SW 9th Street, where available redevelopment sites of this size and configuration are limited. The site's visibility, utility access, and corridor location support a wide range of future redevelopment strategies.
- LAND VALUE POSITIONING - EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS SECONDARY: While the property includes an existing structure and outbuildings, the primary value is in the land and future redevelopment potential. The recommended strategy is to position the asset as a redevelopment land site rather than as an income-producing or owner-user property.
- DEFINED BUYER POOL - REDEVELOPMENT-ORIENTED USERS: The site is expected to appeal to developers, investors, and owner-users seeking a visible infill location with flexible zoning and corridor momentum. Its size, configuration, and SSMID location create a clear marketing angle for a structured sale process.
