Imagine

Imagine…a new riverfront neighborhood surrounded by charming apartments, a lighted riverwalk leading to specialty shops, eclectic restaurants and nature trails, all accessible by boat at the Eagle Flats Landing. This could be the future for the former Riverside Paper Mill and property overlooking the Fox River in the Appleton Flats.

Riverfront Living

This development concept includes the demolition of the former mill and the construction of 100 mid-market apartments with up to 50,000 square feet of commercial space. Plans call for multiple buildings with attached retail and riverfront amenities. A potential visitor center, boating and kayak facilities, restaurants and trails are all being considered for the site.

A Unique Sense of Place

Four main attributes help define a GREAT place, according to Project for Public Spaces:

In addition to being accessible, successful placemaking connects people with each other. A major emphasis of this development project is to create walkable and transit links to neighboring destinations, including Downtown Appleton. Several public input sessions will be held to gather feedback about what types of new places would enhance the area.
