River Arts Apartments

Above is the rendering of the new tentatively named “River Arts Apartments” to be located on the old Dave Steel site @ the 5 points roundabout @ Roberts Street and Clingman Ave Extension… below is an overview of the plan footprint… The proposed hard close of Roberts Street from just south of North Carolina Glass to just north of the roundabout from March 2022 - March 2023 did not happen thanks to RADBA & the City of Asheville & Brian Schick of Woodfield Developement. Roberts Street is now one way north to south road! In addition, Brian Schick says that Woodfield Development will maintain pedestrian connections between the Wedge /NC Glass and the rest of the RAD throughout the project construction. Please know that this project when completed will actually have around 375 parking spaces, 60 of which will be available to the public… so we end up with more parking… but that is a few years off as this is a 26 month project starting now! so thru May 2024.
