Three towers were originally planned for the Riverside project. However, one was abandoned by Riverside after a study of the circumstances underneath, according to Tony Scacco, the company’s chief operating officer. This is Riverside’s first project in Charlotte.
Anthony Scacco, chief operating officer at Riverside, said in an interview with the Charlotte Business Journal that “these projects take two years to even get off the ground, then two to three years to build and time to stabilize.” “You’re talking seven years of work from conception to income-producing property. Without (tenant) pre-leasing, the amount of money available for office at scale is really restricted.
“I think we’re going to be very thoughtful in how we handle the financing of the office component. “Despite the broader economic headwinds, we are confident in our ability to lease the project. We are holding discussions with a number of tenants across a range of industries.”
