Waterfront Seafood Market expands West Des Moines location

Waterfront Seafood Market and Restaurant opened in West Des Moines on Nov. 2, expanding from the longtime restaurant located at 2900 University Ave. Shawn Hanke, brother Blake Hanke and sister Jennifer Haus, who all own the restaurant located in the Clocktower Square retail center, renovated an adjacent storefront to add a 10-seat sushi bar, tables to seat 32 people and a party room to fit up to 40 people. The 2,000-square-foot space once housed a Boesen the Florist, but it now holds a new freezer case displaying king and snow crab legs, lobster tails and other items. Waterfront was opened by Ted Hanke in 1984, and his children took the restaurant over when he retired in 2010. Shawn Hanke and Haus also own the Waterfront Seafood Market and Restaurant located in Ankeny. Waterfront’s hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Market hours are 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Call 223-5106, visit www.waterfrontseafoodmarket.com or find it on Facebook.

Ohio developer plans apartments in three suburbs
Ohio-based developer Redwood Living was drawn to the strong economy and job market in Des Moines and plans to build apartment complexes in Ankeny, Altoona and Waukee. Redwood Living builds single-story apartments in developments that include four to six units per building, and each unit has its own garage and entrance. Planned developments include Havenwood Prairie Trail, a 170-unit plan in Prairie Trail on the south side of Ankeny; Linden Oaks, a 117-unit project on Adventureland Drive in Altoona; and Landing at Shadow Creek, a 100-unit development west of Alice’s Road and south of Douglas Avenue in Waukee. Redwood Living recently purchased about 25 acres directly west of Southview Middle School in Ankeny for the development and recently broke ground on the project, which will have two phases. Construction on the Linden Oaks project began the first week in November. The projects are Redwood Living’s first in Iowa, but it has previously built in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and South Carolina. The apartments are a new housing type for the metro area, looking like attached condos but marketed as rental units. CV
