RACINE - One of the Downtown area's more daring housing projects, Riverbend Lofts, is ready to unveil what it will have to offer.
Riverbend Lofts is a four-story, former industrial building at Sixth and Marquette streets. The sign on the building, Badger Uniforms, reflects one of its last uses.
Riverbend Lofts is one of just two urban renewal projects taking place west of Marquette Street.

Riverbend Lofts also pushes Downtown's revival westward by crossing Marquette Street.
