It’s hard to imagine what Rome’s River District will become once the large development on West Third Street is complete but developers are hoping it’s only the beginning of big things to come.
The $61 million Nova River District development will include ground floor parking and 18,000 square feet of commercial space divided up between the building and storefronts on Fifth Avenue, said CCI Real Estate Founder and CEO Jeff Warwick. Above the commercial portion of the building will be 250 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
