Old Meets New: Riverwalk West Offers High-Tech Features in Historic Setting

The Riverwalk West apartment complex is a new luxury residence brought to Lawrence by the Lupoli Companies. 

The kitchens are fully equipped with gourmet stainless steel appliances, black cabinets and white quartz countertops. The bathrooms feature satin brass faucets, glass shower doors and imported tile flooring.

Riverwalk West offers beautiful studio loft-style apartments with single and double bedroom options. The 16-foot ceilings, exposed brick and Carolina pine flooring retain the most desirable features of mill architecture, updated for modern comfort.

The apartments are outfitted with a number of cutting-edge features, including “smart locks” that enable residents to open doors with their phones.

“The heating and cooling system uses geothermal exchange, meaning cleaner air because there is no fossil fuel burned on-site,” says Shaw Rosen, vice president of residential real estate at Lupoli Companies.

“The property is just gorgeous from tip to toe — the apartments and the new clubhouse space are like nothing else in the entire market,” Rosen says. “We went for a sophisticated look that really shows off the building’s historic features in a trendsetting way, but also creates spaces people will enjoy.”

Consistent with its “Life is Better Here,” motto, the location boasts a coffee and tea bar, game room and fitness center complete with yoga room and climbing wall. There is even a full-time resident ambassador. This ambassador is responsible for introducing new tenants to the community of over 400 Riverwalk residents, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods, creating events, classes and programming, and developing classes.

Situated in Lawrence’s Riverwalk neighborhood, residents enjoy living in a thriving urban environment, with plenty of restaurants and services, as well as easy access to I-93, I-495 and the MBTA commuter rail station.
