The River is a 14-acre open-air lifestyle center on Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage, anchored by a mix of dining, retail, and entertainment tenants. Developed in 2000, it sits at the geographic center of the three-city luxury corridor and functions as the primary casual social venue for residents of Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and Indian Wells. The center includes a 12-screen Century Theatres multiplex, a range of sit-down restaurants, and national and regional retail. A man-made river channel runs through the property, lending the center its name and creating a pedestrian-oriented outdoor environment unusual for the desert. PSP International Airport is approximately 10 miles west — roughly 15–20 minutes by car.

It anchors the lifestyle layer that complements the hospitality and golf infrastructure already documented in the system.
