About Riverdale

125 Acres & Over a Hundred Years Old

Riverdale is where the legacy of industrial innovation meets the dynamic energy of a modern, mixed-use district. This former industrial property is being reimagined to create a vibrant, sustainable space that will serve as a hub for businesses, creatives, and the local community.

Rooted in history yet forward-facing, our project aims to breathe new life into this iconic location, preserving its rich heritage while introducing a fresh vision for the future. With a thoughtful design blending the past and present, this development will feature diverse businesses, including retail, offices, dining, and creative spaces, all within a walkable, accessible environment.

This transformation is not just about building; it's about creating a place where commerce, culture, and community can thrive together. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive, sustainable, and innovative atmosphere that supports local entrepreneurs, attracts new opportunities, and enriches the surrounding neighborhood.
