Davenport’s central business district finds itself in the midst of an urban revival that has been characterized locally as River Renaissance. The initiative is comprised of a number of significant capital improvements intended to revitalize downtown Davenport and the Mississippi riverfront transforming it into a showcase for exciting entertainment attractions and vibrant business. Collectively, the projects have involved a $113.5 million investment in the community.
The W. C. Putnam properties can accommodate the space needs of small, modest and large professional office users. Their location permits easy access to the major highways and interstates serving the Quad Cities including I-80, I-74, I-88, US Hwy 61 and US Hwy 67. The Quad Cities International Airport is found approximately 15 minutes away from the properties. Major telecommunication and fiber optic data lines serve the central business district and are able to easily support the needs of in and out bound call centers and high tech businesses.
A wide variety of lodging, dining, entertainment and recreation opportunities are found within an easy walk from the W. C. Putnam properties. The properties are served by street side parking, three (3) public parking ramp facilities and several public surface lots. River Renaissance as expected has created a new sense of excitement and energy in downtown Davenport and stimulated additional business development unmatched by similar sized communities throughout the Midwest.
