111 East Grand Avenue | 2019 | Des Moines, IA

Located in Des Moines’ historic East Village, 111 East Grand is Iowa’s first modern mass timber building—the first dowel-laminated timber (DLT) office building in North America and, at the time of construction, the largest DLT project on the continent. The project was built by Ryan Companies US, Inc. and designed by Neumann Monson Architects, both of which now have offices in the building.
