Waterfront Living at RiverWest

RiverWest is an 18-story luxury residential tower perched above the Mississippi River in Minneapolis's Mill District, offering some of the most dramatic river and skyline views available in any residential building in the Twin Cities. Originally built in 1989 and extensively renovated, the building combines a large and established community with the amenities and finishes expected of a premium address.

Residences feature premium finishes throughout, with particular attention to views — most units have direct or angled river sight lines, and upper-floor units capture spectacular sunsets over the downtown skyline. The riverfront location provides direct access to the Stone Arch Bridge, the Mill District river trails, and the vibrant restaurant and nightlife scene of the surrounding Mill District and downtown riverfront.
