Riverfront Crossing District Development Site at 1020 Gilbert Street & 320 First Street, Iowa City. Multi-housing development opportunity located in the highly sought-after Riverfront Crossing District, benefiting from the district's form-based zoning incentives designed to encourage dense, mixed-use urban projects.
