Water—a point of congregation, vital for all forms of life, and the universal solvent. In the form of a river, a water’s current is strong. When engineered appropriately, water can power entire regions. Water has shaped the way communities are located, grow, and evolve over time. River & Main is rooted in the philosophy that communities thrive when guided by urban principles such as these.

River & Main is a 501(c)(3) organization leading early-stage comprehensive community redevelopment efforts to promote calculated, methodical, and well-planned urban growth, development, and revitalization. We partner with the public, private, and educational sectors to provide opportunities for people and communities to flourish through real estate.

Our mission is to create vibrant districts where people can live, work, learn, and play—building sustainable ecosystems that allow cities and communities to thrive. Often times right next to water.
