Redevelopment
Water Street District
Whether
it’s a developer looking for “the” location for its first or next project;
an entrepreneur or established merchant searching for that perfect retail
space; an entrepreneur looking for a tight knit business community: a
business person in need of office space; a person who dreams of urban loft
living, or someone who simply wants to shop, dine and enjoy a concert, the
Water Street District is the place to be.
