Rivertowne, a 187-unit stacked townhouse complex built by Intracorp and completed in 2007, is part of the successful revitalization of Donmount into the emerging mixed income Riverside Community. The complex – part of a comprehensive 7.7 acre community redevelopment – introduced new market housing, of identical scale, and character next to Rent-Geared-To-Income homes, making this part of the on-going revitalization of the downtown east side mixing income and housing to break down social barriers and raise economic prospects. The complex is thoughtfully-designed, with well-proportioned streetscapes and parkettes, including pedestrian ways which create that charming mews feel. The stacked townhouses are both on grade and on a podium above underground parking. The building elevation and massing proportioned pays homage to the adjacent streetscapes of original dwellings, with carefully designed detailing, wood frame and brick veneer construction.
