Two houses located south of University Avenue on 26th Street will be moved to the Sherman Hill neighborhood today starting at 9 p.m. Des Moines police and necessary utility companies will manage the move. Following the relocation of the homes, DeCarlo Demolition will remove the basements and grade the land where the houses once stood. The homes are being relocated to clear the lots, which will be redeveloped by Nelson Construction into a mixed-use space.
