The River District Portfolio offers investors the first stabilized multifamily acquisition opportunity in Danville’s historic River District, where a remarkable economic and cultural transformation is underway. The River District encompasses Danville’s traditional central business district and historic tobacco warehouse district, which reflect its rich history dating back to the 1790s. The River District is the perfect compliment to Ceasar’s Casino and Resort, which has brought thousands of new jobs and injected hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. The River District Lofts are top-of-market assets, with irreplaceable style and unbeatable walkability. The City of Danville is working hand in hand with private capital to ensure the River District’s live/work/play dynamic continues to grow. The city’s efforts include multiple phases of streetscape improvements, public Wi-Fi hotspots, wayfinding signage, and public parks. Utilities have also been upgraded and parking access has been improved with new lots and traffic adjustments. A new trailhead and pedestrian lane on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge enhance connectivity between the beautiful River Walk and the River District Lofts.

ABOUT DANVILLE’S RIVER DISTRICT
The City of Danville implemented a development plan for its “River District,” generally consisting of the traditional central business district, historic tobacco warehousing district, and contiguous areas, and contiguous areas. This area has been the commercial and administrative heart of the city since 1790s.
Three phases of streetscape improvements are complete and a fourth phase is underway. These phases are bringing a fresh look to Main and Craghead streets, with new sidewalks, brick pavers, streetlight poles, benches and landscaping. Public, outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots are now available in the River District, and wayfinding signage and utilities upgrades are in place. Patton Street now allows two-way traffic to provide better access to businesses and parking lots serving stores on Main Street. New parking areas are open at 500 Main St. and the former Acre’s warehouse on Bridge Street. A completed parking study serves as a guide for the future. The new amenities also feature the JTI Fountain and Main Street Plaza, which quickly has become one of Danville’s favorite public gathering spaces. A new trailhead for the Riverwalk Trail is in place, and a pedestrian lane on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge connects walking trails on the north and south side of the Dan River. As a result of the new amenities, private investment is now outpacing public seeding by three to one. New to the River District over the last year is Ballad Brewing, the district’s first brewpub and a taco tequila bar, called Mucho Taqueria. Soon they will be joined by a specialty grocery store and a second brewpub. Urban living options continue to grow, with the continuing construction of apartments for lease.
Today, the River District boasts a new look and vibe captures the spirit of change in the Danville community. The brand uses the tagline slogan: “Danville River District: Reimagine That.” The message is clear, here in the River District, the status quo is a no go.
