About Krause Gateway Center
Krause Gateway Center is the headquarters of Krause Group and serves as the home base for the company's portfolio of businesses. Located in downtown Des Moines, the building reflects Krause Group's long-term commitment to the city and to creating spaces that bring people together.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano and Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Krause Gateway Center opened in 2018. Every aspect of the building was thoughtfully designed to support collaboration, flexibility, and connection while maximizing natural light and creating a welcoming environment for Associates and guests.
The five-story building was designed with sustainability in mind and achieved LEED certification. Expansive glass, generous roof overhangs, outdoor terraces, and a native green roof contribute to energy efficiency while strengthening the connection between the building and its surrounding landscape.
Situated across from John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Krause Gateway Center extends into the public realm through its open plaza and landscaping, creating a seamless connection between architecture, art, and downtown Des Moines.
Designed to support both the workplace and the community, Krause Gateway Center is home to Allora Café, a modern, Italian-inspired café open to the public, as well as collaborative workspaces, outdoor terraces, a rooftop garden, dedicated training and event spaces, a fitness center, a curated art collection, and other amenities that create a welcoming experience for Associates and guests alike.
Vision Realized
Planning for Krause Gateway Center began in 2013, with Renzo Piano Building Workshop selected as lead architect in 2014. Construction officially began in October 2015, and the building opened in November 2018.
The project was brought to life through the collaboration of world-class architects, designers, engineers, contractors, and skilled tradespeople. Renzo Piano Building Workshop led the design, OPN Architects served as architect of record, and Ryan Companies US, Inc. managed construction.
