Metro Reports: Redevelopment Phase 1 and HollywoodHUB

The first phase of the RiverPlace Redevelopment would be built on the site of the former RiverPlace Athletic Club, which has been vacant since 2015. A Pre-Application Conference has been scheduled to discuss a proposed 325′ tall building as part of the first phase of the RiverPlace Central City Master Plan. The Design Commission will likely hold a vote this afternoon on whether to approve the Master Plan for this site.
