The Riverside Story

When John O’Donnell retired in 2010, he began investigating investment opportunities in distressed land sites in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Once the two sites he identified were entitled, the deals could have been sold for an attractive return. Rather than sell, John built highly focused teams around these two sites and Riverside was born. Despite the scale of the projects, Riverside remains nimble, entrepreneurial and keenly focused on the core capabilities of Development, Asset Management and Leasing, outsourcing all other functions to long-standing third-party relationships.
