The vision for the site's redevelopment was to bring residential market-rate dwelling units to a site located on one of the oldest sections of the River District on the edge of Old Town. With the current enhancements and growth of downtown towards the river along Linden, the residential units will bring people to the urban core, activating the pedestrian focus of downtown's storefront nature. Following the revitalization of a very eclectic neighborhood with industrial and agricultural roots living in tandem with the trains that also shape the site, this new development encourages the visual articulation of buildings as defined by the community vision for an active and energetic downtown, of which the River District is an integral part.
