What is Riverwalk at Millennium?

Riverwalk at Millennium is an upscale, 60-acre apartment community built between 2000 and 2005 by O'Neill Properties Group of King of Prussia. The $51.8 million project was built on a former industrial site along the Schuylkill River, according to a Web site for the complex.

The first apartments in the 375-unit complex were rented in May 2005. The buildings include a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom loft apartments ranging from 684 square feet to 1,300 square feet and featuring nine-foot high ceilings, oversized six-foot windows, walk-in closets and underground parking.

Developer J. Brian O'Neill, a force in the redevelopment of Conshohocken, originally planned to build eight office buildings on the site in 2000 in what he called the Millennium Project, but later opted to switch to residential after finding the office space market was saturated, according to a newspaper article posted on the Web site.

The apartments were marketed at young professionals. "We can't replicate the 100 percent brick and exposed-beam industrial look that has become popular with the dot-coms, but we will have high ceilings, lots of light, and other features they value," O'Neill's partner, Vincent J. Costantini, told the Inquirer in 2000.

On September 8, 2005, the Apartment Association of Greater Philadelphia awarded Riverwalk with seven "Best in Apartment Living" awards.
