Riverfront Crossings plan ties to Iowa River redevelopment
Iowa City moves to rezone 2.5 acres at 21 W. Benton St for a five story riverfront building with ground floor restaurant and outdoor seating, 10,000 square feet of second floor commercial space and 18 residential units, plus a 4,500 square foot retail addition. The project aims to link to the river with a rooftop garden and river trail, and could start early next year with tax increment financing possibly involved.
