River Place Condominiums, previously known as Port Royal Condominiums, is a mixed-use residential high-rise building located in Augusta, Georgia. Standing at tall with 18 floors, it is tallest building in Augusta and the Central Savannah River Area.〔(River Place Condominiums, Augusta, U.S.A. ) Emporis.com. Retrieved 2015-07-01.〕 It has become an iconic part of the city's skyline, with the exterior of the building having a pink salmon color and concrete structure, along with having a postmodern style with multiple gables at the top. The building was originally known to have the National Science Center at Fort Discovery, which closed in December 2010. It has also been found to be the 80th tallest building in the state of Georgia.〔(Georgia Skyscraper Diagram ) SkyscraperPage.com. Retrieved 2015-07-01.〕
==History==
The concept of the building was developed on November 24, 1987 by French investors who unveiled plans to develop an $18 million, three-tower complex along the Savannah River called Port Royal. The complex will comprise condominiums, a shopping center, and a hotel. Even though the hotel never went through, construction for the tower and the center started 10 months later. On May 7, 1991, Port Royal had its grand opening, which was completed as a $45 million project. It includes the 18-story tower that features 56 condominiums and 128,000 square feet of retail space. This became the Shoppes of Port Royale, which opened two days later and was proven to be unsuccessful. Retailers began shutting down within a year, and, during the first two years, only seven of the luxury condos were sold, with listings up to $400,000. The shopping center became dead in 1995, and the state Board of Education agreed to transfer $10 million in lottery money to help fund construction for the new museum that will take its spot. After its completion, the new National Science Center at Fort Discovery had its grand opening on April 23, 1997. This project received $13 million in state and local government money, and a private fund-raising campaign created an extra $6.5 million. However, Fort Discovery suffered terribly when it dropped two-thirds of its staff and reduced its hours when state funds were delaying. After a few years, Fort Discovery closed on December 31, 2010 after 13 years of operation. The site has been stripped to its bare concrete floors and columns to make way for any new development.
