AO’s Mark in Riverside

Once home to Riverside’s first fire station , a livery stable, and an automobile dealership, a historic structure is being reimagined and incorporated into a seven-story mixed-use podium project with 22,000 square feet of retail space and 165 apartment units. Known as Mark, this redevelopment project utilizes the 1926 Mission Revival facade to pay homage to the neighborhood’s unique context. Mark is named in honor of accomplished local developer Mark Rubin, who was extensively involved in the project through design and development until his passing in 2021. The structure’s unifying facade was commissioned by the city in 1926 and features a number of intricate and defining details such as a scalloped parapet, arched windows, terra cotta urns, and small cartouches.
