The Riga Waterfront project is situated along a 5-kilometer stretch of the Daugava River in Riga, Latvia, encompassing a 57-hectare area adjacent to the historic port district.
This €3 billion project will feature 8,000 residential units, 1,000 hotel rooms, world-class shopping, fine dining, and more.
This prime location is approximately a 10-minute walk from Riga's UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town and city center, and about a 20-minute drive from Riga International Airport, providing excellent connectivity to major European and Middle Eastern hubs.
Riga serves as a gateway between the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), making it a strategic hub for international business.
