DREAMWEAVER FOUNDATION

Oct 14, 2021

Zach Wiegert, our Managing Principal, is involved in many organizations which he feels passionate about. One of those organizations is the Dreamweaver Foundation. The Dreamweaver Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of seniors who are terminally ill, making their life-long dreams come true through incredible experiences they will never forget. They bring together generous donors, like Zach, loving volunteers and terminally ill seniors with unfulfilled, end-of-life dreams.  Dreamweaver serves seniors who are at or below the federal poverty guidelines in the Greater Omaha Area,eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. 

Zach has been involved with the foundation for two years.  Last year, he helped plan an amazing dream for a family at Universal Studios. The story of that dream is linked here… https://youtu.be/MAs3Mw8vZo4.

Zach has made a commitment to Dreamweaver to sponsor 10 dreams over the next 5 years as a Community Partner, helping to create positive change not only in the community, but in the lives of the seniors we serve.

"Following an extensive RFI (request for information) process led by Cushman & Wakefield, we are thrilled to announce Goldenrod Companies as CYTown's coordinating developer," ISU Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. "The number of responses to our RFI was truly amazing. It confirmed for us the viability of this project. In the end, Goldenrod's expertise and demonstrated success in the development of mixed-use districts, coupled with their financial capacity and higher education experience, made them the ideal partner to turn CYTown's vision into a reality". "Our goal is to create a vibrant, innovative, and financially feasible multi-use district that in turn will generate the necessary resources to reinvest in the Iowa State Center," he added. "CYTown's unique location will help attract more visitors to Iowa State University and the Ames' community, spur economic growth for central Iowa, and offer new amenities to students, staff, visitors, and residents to enjoy year-around." Iowa State will now enter into an initial agreement that provides Goldenrod an exclusive period to perform the necessary research, facilitate studies, and develop a financial model. After that process is completed, it is expected Iowa State and Goldenrod will enter into a long-term land-use development agreement, pending final approval from the Iowa Board of Regents. "We are grateful to the Iowa Board of Regents for supporting our recommendation to partner with Goldenrod as the development partner for CYTown. We look forward to working with Goldenrod to develop an innovative and vibrant mixed-use district that will enhance Ames' reputation as an outstanding community to live and work in," said ISU President Dr. Wendy Wintersteen. "This has been a thoughtful and deliberate process, and I look forward to the momentum continuing to grow as we enter this exciting phase with Goldenrod coming alongside Iowa State as our partner in this project." Goldenrods Managing Principal Zach Wiegert said, "After our initial meeting it is evident that ISU has the right team and vision for this development, and we intend to make that vision a reality. We want to make CYTown a year-round destination for students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and visitors while providing an amazing event space before and after ISU athletic events at Iowa State Center and Jack Tice Stadium."

The building is 85% leased to tenants including Dell, software company ARGO and chip firm Nexperia.
