River House Condominiums

River House Condominiums stands 406 feet tall with 34 floors, serving as the tallest all-residential building in Michigan outside Detroit along the Grand River's west bank.

Construction completed in 2008 during Grand Rapids' downtown development boom, though the project faced legal challenges when 56 of the original 130 contracted buyers withdrew due to economic hardships.

The building has hosted notable events including performances by Bare Naked Ladies, American Idol listening parties, and served as a filming location for rapper 50 Cent's movie 'The Gun'.

The building features three elevators serving all 34 floors, units ranging from 1,031 to over 4,135 square feet, with prices from high $300,000s to over one million dollars for penthouses.

Residents participate in community fundraising events by rappelling down the building's front face during the Celebration on the Grand festival to support local health organizations.
