Project: Development of the Downtown Riverfront Plaza.
Location: 555 Ferry St., Eugene.
Eugene’s Downtown Riverfront neighborhood has been bustling with new construction projects for multiple new housing developments, like Heartwood and Portal , the new City Hall and the completed Riverfront Park for years.
The incoming Downtown Riverfront Plaza is the district’s latest project to break ground. The plaza’s design was completed last summer and is envisioned to be tucked between multi-family housing buildings and what is eventually expected to be a restaurant once the area is fully developed.
The park plaza is planned to include features such as a play lawn, a grove, an event area, an interpretive water feature with misters and a splash pad. The plaza is expected to open for use in the summer of 2025.
This part of town is planned to see more housing developed in the form of townhomes and affordable housing units in the coming years. A parcel map shows what the district is expected to look like once it is fully developed.
