Transwestern Enters Des Moines with Portfolio Assignment

Transwestern Commercial Services has been tapped for its first engagement in Des Moines, IA, where it will manage the Ruan Companies headquarters. The assignment includes 750,000 square feet at Ruan Center and Two Ruan Center, located at 666 Grand Ave. and 601 Locust St., respectively.

The Midwest asset services team of SVP Micah Larmie, Operations Director Bonnie Boden and Director of Engineering Pete Miceli will provide management and building engineering services for the two properties. GM Jona Schmidt will be on-site to directly oversee operations.

“When we were reviewing candidates to provide management services at Ruan Center, we were impressed by Transwestern’s tenant engagement philosophy and its recent BOMA International TOBY Award” for KBS’ Accenture Tower in Chicago, said Bradley Meister, Ruan’s construction project manager.

Larmie observed, “The growth potential in this vibrant market makes the win even more exciting for Transwestern and our Midwest property management team.”
