Step onto The Dublin Link and cross into a first-of-its kind neighborhood. Riverview Village — where historic homes, river views and a thriving startup scene come together in the heart of Historic Dublin. Lindsay and Bruce welcome COhatch CEO Matt Davis and Dublin Economic Development Director Jeremiah Gracia to unpack how a public-private partnership is transforming our western riverbank.
Walk the plan with us: restored houses reimagined as off-site retreats during the week, a gleaming new headquarters for COhatch, plus art strolls, kayaking and great food on the weekends. It’s all supported by $11 million in City infrastructure—streets, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and stormwater—that powers year-round activation and makes the district genuinely walkable. We explore why this model favors a thousand small companies over a single anchor tenant, and how that diversity strengthens local businesses, fills vacancies and keeps dollars circulating here at home.
Beyond buildings, Matt talks about bringing a magnetic culture to Riverview. Think entrepreneurial fairs, kid-led markets and local showcases designed to spark real connections. He shares how “engineering collisions” through intentional design — like one central coffee spot at COhatch — turn everyday hellos into mentors, customers and collaborators.
From city-building and adaptive reuse to co-working done right and how public-private partnerships reduce time, risk and money for everyone, this conversation is packed with insights. Subscribe, share with a neighbor, and leave a review to tell us what part of Riverview Village you can’t wait to visit.
