| Riverstone Developer wins NAHB award for Merrill Gardens | 12/10/2007 | ||
|
July 17, 2007 Merrill Gardens wins NAHB award By JOURNAL STAFF Runberg Architecture Group of Seattle won a silver award from the National Association of Home Builders 50+ Housing Council for having a “best of the best” project in the 50-and-over senior housing category. The award was for Merrill Gardens at Queen Anne at 800 and 805 Fourth Ave. N., an assisted-living community designed to create a safe, communal environment. It was the only entrant from Washington to receive one of 87 awards. Merrill Gardens LLC was the contractor. Merrill Gardens is built on a tight urban site with two heritage elm trees, which the building's design incorporated and preserved. The design draws from local architectural styles and includes gabled roofs, wood brackets, wood trellises and wide windows. The seven structures are connected by pedestrian bridges around a grand courtyard that opens to the Queen Anne neighborhood. The corridors have resting spaces that assist in orientation and are lit by natural light. Exposed wood columns and beams delineate programmatic areas, along with low planters and differentiated floor treatments. Parking is below-grade. The NAHB 50+ Council presents gold and silver awards in 58 categories nationally. For more information about the awards, see www.nahb.org/50plushousingawards.

| Riverstone Trolley Preview | 09/20/2007 | ||
|
In just a few short months the condos will be complete and residents will begin moving into the Village at Riverstone. The Village of Riverstone plans to use the trolley system to transport people down Northwest Boulevard to downtown Coeur d’Alene and back to Riverstone. The route has not yet been set, but it should go through downtown and near to the library. The Trolley system is expected to be operational next spring time and run through the summer. The trolley system has been a success in other cities and soon will be for Coeur d’Alene. Click below to see a new preview of the Riverstone Trolley. Click here to play

| CdA trolley could connect development, downtown | 06/13/2007 | ||
|
Coeur d'Alene may get a rubber-tired trolley this summer to haul people between the Riverstone development and downtown – a 3.2 mile loop that could decrease traffic, provide relief from skyrocketing gas prices and make the city more accessible. "It's really important when you think about lifestyle," Riverstone developer John Stone said. "You don't have to get in the car. That's the whole purpose." |

| Renewal changing face of CdA | 06/13/2007 | ||
|
Ten years ago, Coeur d’Alene’s downtown was drifting into decay. Behind a brave front of decorative streetlights, storefronts stood empty and brick facades crumbled. Merchants complained about lackluster sales and graffiti. To the north, boarded-up buildings dotted Coeur d’Alene’s midtown district. To the west, a vacant sawmill site along the Spokane River sprouted brilliant blooms of purple knapweed. Concerned city leaders formed an urban renewal agency, the Lake City Development Corp. Its goal was straightforward: Use public dollars to attract private investment to Coeur d’Alene’s stagnant core. A decade later, the agency has committed nearly $18 million to projects. And the long-awaited private development has arrived. |
