Groundbreaking Development: Havasu Riviera Marina, Lake Havasu, AZ

On April 1, 2024, Havasu Riviera Marina, an innovative on-the-water boat storage facility in Lake Havasu, Ariz., that’s being developed in phases by Forge Building and Desert Land Group, began renting its newly built, covered boat slips to customers. Available in three sizes to cater to varying needs, the 60 slips were designed across two structures and provide overhead protection through a steel cover that serves as a canopy. Erected in less than two months, the steel structures are supported by a reinforced floating dock system that took 16 months and insight from steel engineers to construct.  

For customer convenience, Havasu Riviera Marina offers a fuel dock with three types of gasoline, boat rentals, a six-lane boat ramp, and a marina store that sells food, beverages, ice, apparel, boat and marine accessories, and safety equipment. Provisions have been made for the installation of lifts to enable renters to effortlessly hoist their vessel out of the water. Other planned amenities to be delivered in upcoming phases include a 60,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building with racking systems for dry storage, various concierge services, a restaurant and bar, and a 100,000-square-foot self-storage building.
