159 Riverside Drive

159 Riverside is a vibrant, mixed-use, smart growth project planned for the River Arts District with a commitment to walkability, open space, multi-modal transportation, and environmental stewardship.

THE VISION

The project team hopes to transform two adjacent sites in the heart of Asheville's RAD into public green space, 150-170 new housing units, approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial space, including artist studios, and retail and restaurant space for Asheville's diverse and growing population. This lively, public facing, neighborhood destination is also committed to walkability, open space, multi-modal transportation, and environmental stewardship.

Two exciting focal points of the 159 Riverside Project are structures currently on the property that aren't being utilized -- the old Mill Building and an old smokestack. We plan to incorporate both into the project plans and will be seeking community input on ideas for how to do so.
