“In 2013, we talked about investing in real estate somewhere
– either down south or out west,” said David, who
has a dental practice in Iowa Falls and also serves as an
adjunct instructor at the University of Iowa College of
Dentistry.
“Through conversation with friends and peers, we
found out about a new development in downtown Iowa
City. We met with the developer, Marc Moen, to discuss
Park@201, and it sounded like a good investment opportunity.
It represented a place that we could use rather than
one that was far away.”
Dr. Gimer teaches once a week at the dental school, so
their unit serves as a landing pad for work and play. The
couple met during dental school, and their kids now have
families of their own. As lifelong Hawkeye fans, they hold
season tickets to football and basketball games. Dr. Gimer
also attends wrestling matches and baseball games.
“It enables us to come and go freely, depending on my
work schedule and what university events might be taking
place. If we want to do something with friends, we can stay
over and do that,” he said.
Fresh Outlook
Their Iowa City home bears a contrast to their home base
in Iowa Falls, which they built in 1995. In Iowa Falls, they
have 2.5 acres and an open, yet woodsy, setting for their
home, which offers 1,800 square feet on the main level. In
Iowa City, they embrace a hotel suite-feel several stories
up, with modern industrial overtones and an entire wall >
