Property Description
Positioned along one of Ankeny's most traveled corridors, this 2.3-acre site at 718 S Ankeny Blvd offers a rare opportunity to secure high-visibility ground in a rapidly growing market. With direct access off S Ankeny Blvd, the property benefits from strong daily traffic counts and excellent exposure, ideal for commercial or redevelopment use.
What truly sets this location apart is its direct connection to the High Trestle Trail and adjacency to the new High Trestle Trail Experience Park, a multi-phase destination designed to draw significant foot and bike traffic from across Central Iowa. This unique combination of vehicle traffic and recreational activity creates a dynamic setting for a wide range of potential uses.
Just minutes from Ankeny High School and Uptown Ankeny, the property is surrounded by established neighborhoods, schools, and local businesses, providing a built-in customer base and strong community presence.
The site includes two existing structures that would likely be removed, offering a clean slate for development. Opportunities like this combining location, visibility, and future growth tied to one of the regions most popular trail systems are increasingly rare in Ankeny.
