🚧 What's Happening on the Job Site This Week: Beacon Edition 🚧

Big progress at Beacon! The framing phase is officially complete, and the project is moving into the next stage of construction. This week, our MEP trades will begin rough-ins, installing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems that will bring the space to life behind the walls.

Every phase gets us one step closer to the finished product. Stay tuned as The Beacon Des Moines continues to take shape!

🏡 Project Complete | Water Trail Rowhomes

We’re excited to celebrate the completion of Water Trail Rowhomes, a two-building residential community just minutes from downtown Des Moines!

Featuring 24 thoughtfully designed, rowhome-style units with 1- and 2-bedroom floor plans, this project brings a fresh approach to workforce housing. With private entrances, a residential feel, and layouts ranging from 582 to 1,245 SF, Water Trail Rowhomes offers a unique living experience tailored to the needs of the local community.

Our rowhome module concept continues to demonstrate how quality, adaptable housing can make a meaningful impact in growing communities.

Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this project to life! 👏

🧱 Brick by brick, the Uptown Commons project is coming to life!

The exterior is starting to take shape as the team works through the brick installation, bringing the building one step closer to its finished look. It’s always exciting to see those construction plans turn into something you can actually see... and this one is looking good! 👏

More progress to come at Uptown! 🚧✨

👷‍♂️👷‍♀️ CONSTRUCTION WEEK | BUILT BY OUR CREW 🚧

Behind every plan, every project, and every finished space is a team of people showing up, solving problems, putting in the work, and getting it done.

This Construction Week, we’re celebrating our SHYFT field crew, the people who bring the plans off the page and into the real world. From early mornings to long days, they’re out there making progress happen brick by brick, beam by beam, and project by project. 💪

We’re thankful for the experience, dedication, and teamwork they bring to every jobsite. You can’t build a better space without a great team in the field. 👏

Happy Construction Week to our crew and everyone who helps build what’s next! 🦺🔨

☕️ BUT FIRST… COFFEE. 🥓🍳

National Coffee Day seemed like the perfect excuse to hit the grill, load up the coffee bar, and treat our SHYFT team! 🎉

Our team puts in the hard work every day to keep projects moving, solve problems, and bring great spaces to life, so today, we’re serving up a little appreciation (with plenty of caffeine on the side 😉).

Hot coffee? ✅
Iced coffee? ✅
Breakfast on the grill? ✅
Fun drink options for the non-coffee crew? ✅
An awesome team worth celebrating? ABSOLUTELY. ❤️

A big THANK YOU to our SHYFT team for everything you do! We appreciate you today, tomorrow, and every day.

Happy National Coffee Day! ☕️🎉

Building more than a space, we’re helping build a place for new beginnings. ❤️

SHYFT is proud to be working with The Beacon Des Moines, a Des Moines nonprofit dedicated to providing safe housing and supportive services for women rebuilding their lives after experiencing trauma, substance use, mental illness, domestic violence, or incarceration.

This project includes remodeling the existing building and adding new space to better support Beacon’s mission of empowering women in crisis to create positive, long-term change and break cycles of homelessness and criminal justice involvement.

We’re honored to be part of a project that will have an impact far beyond the walls of the building.
