Riverfront Plaza Building
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.2/10
You'll hear the river before you see it—a soft current beneath the ambient hum of the city, just there when you step onto the plaza. Riverfront Plaza Building sits on the edge of Downtown, where the Grand River runs through and the foot traffic never really stops. The building itself occupies an acre of what amounts to some of the most active real estate in West Michigan: restaurants materialize at street level, a transit stop is steps away, and Riverwalk Trails Park is right there if you need to move without thinking about it. The grocery store is a twelve-minute walk, a coffee shop three minutes. This is not a place where you'll sit wondering what to do on a Saturday afternoon.
