COLUMBUS, GA. — The W.C. Bradley Co. has unveiled plans for its land holdings along the Chattahoochee River in Uptown Columbus. The master plan, known as The River District, includes W.C. Bradley’s holdings from its corporate headquarters at 1017 Front Ave. to the Frank K. Martin Pedestrian Bridge on 14th Street in Columbus and almost nine acres in Phenix City, Ala. The River District’s first phase will be a 7.5-acre mixed-use complex between 13th and 14th streets known as Riverfront Place, which will include two apartments buildings, retail and office space and either an office building or hotel overlooking the river. The groundbreaking for the first building in Riverfront Place, called The Rapids, will take place within the next 60 days. The Rapids will be a 415,000-square-foot mixed-use building that will include 226 apartments, shops and a restaurant. The Rapids will feature three elevated courtyards including a garden-style pool, outdoor bar and TV area, bocce ball court, outdoor ping pong table, grilling stations, communal dining table, fire pit and poolside cabanas. Other amenities will include a 24-hour fitness center, private residents’ lounge with pool table, an indoor bar area and a TV room. The Rapids represents an estimated investment of $52 million and will open early in 2019. Riverfront Place will be developed around a pedestrian-friendly park called Legacy Park.
