This unique, upscale residential community blends single-family townhomes and luxury rental apartments with some of the city's finest restaurants. Riverwatch is located in a once blighted, post-industrial neighborhood in close proximity to the city's commercial and cultural district. The market-rate apartment buildings integrate the historical architecture of the area and have been leased to full occupancy since opening day. Through the Riverwatch development project, Devco has restored residential life to downtown New Brunswick, bringing more than 500 new residents to this center city neighborhood. This new community in the urban core has produced a vitality essential to successful urban revitalization. The residents of this neighborhood have reinvigorated a dormant consumer base, and through increased pedestrian activity, have helped make the city safer.
