RIX Airport City – the future business destination and the Baltic gateway to Northern Europe
Imagine a place where the world meets – a district where business, travel, and innovation converge seamlessly. That place is RIX Airport City – a new mixed-use urban development at the heart of Riga Airport. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Riga, Riga Airport is an important growth engine for one of Europe’s most dynamic regions, providing quick connections by air, road, and future integration with high-speed rail to all three Baltic capitals.
The strategic opportunity
Spanning more than 24 hectares, the project is designed as a vibrant city within the airport area. It will bring together an airport hotel, modern offices, retail, food and beverage, light manufacturing, logistics, and a variety of leisure and community facilities. With over 30,000 daily visitors, the district will offer businesses and investors a unique opportunity to engage directly with a diverse and constantly moving audience.
Unmatched connectivity and diverse use-case opportunities
Connectivity is the beating heart of RIX Airport City. In just two hours, companies based here will have access to 100 million people across Northern and Central Europe by air and 6 million people across the Baltics by rail. This unrivalled multimodality makes the district not only a natural hub for passengers, but also a future-proof location for cargo logistics, research, and light manufacturing.
The development is structured around three main zones. The Plaza will serve as the commercial and social core, with shops, offices, hotels, and public spaces. A park with a scenic lake will create space for relaxation, dining, cultural and recreational activities. Meanwhile, the perimeter area is reserved for forward-looking businesses: offices, educational institutions, R&D centres, and logistics operators, who will benefit from direct access to air, rail, and road networks.
Urban integration and quality of life
But RIX Airport City is more than just infrastructure. It is a vision to transform Riga Airport into an exciting destination and a meeting place for ideas, people, and businesses. Designed with sustainability and modern urban principles in mind, the district will combine the dynamism of a travel hub with the quality of life of a green urban environment.
For investors and partners, RIX Airport City represents a rare opportunity – the chance to participate in building Northern Europe’s next landmark business district, strategically positioned at the crossroads of global trade and travel. Whether in hospitality, retail, logistics, or office development, the potential for growth and visibility is unmatched.
RIX Airport City is not just a project. It is the future of how business and travel connect.
