River Run Residences: A Mixed-Use, Mass Timber, Passive House Project

Evolve Development Group is designing a next-generation, mixed-use, mass-timber community along a river in a rapidly growing secondary city, strategically positioned with direct access to walking and biking trails. The project will include 150 residential units, 40% of which are workforce-affordable at 60% AMI, complemented by ground-floor retail, coworking spaces, fitness amenities, and rooftop gardens. Designed for “life inside a building,” the development maximizes resident engagement while leveraging sustainable, biophilic design and transit-oriented access. Drawing on proven global models—from Scandinavian mass-timber mid-rises to European coworking-residential hybrids—the project combines evidence-based planning with community-focused programming and regenerative building strategies. With strong local population and job growth, low vacancy rates, and rising rents, this development offers investors a resilient, high-performing, and socially responsible opportunity in an emerging secondary city market.
