River North

River North is a new master-planned, urban waterfront district comprised of 104 acres of property with over one mile of downtown riverfront.  Located directly across the Cumberland River from the Central Business District, River North is planned for approximately 12 million square feet of office, hospitality, civic, retail, and residential uses, with a focus on purposeful parks and open spaces, as well as access to a new, active riverfront park system.

A new Urban Design Overlay (UDO) district was established to more effectively implement the urban density and design standards outlined in the overall master plan.  A primary streetscape design objective was to create a district-wide streetscape standard that focused on innovative solutions for bike, pedestrian, and automobile traffic.  Phase 1 is currently under construction.  The future phases of the project were sold to Oracle in one of the largest job deals in state history.  Oracle plans to locate its world headquarters campus here once construction is complete.
