Pawtucket-Central Falls MBTA Commuter Rail Station | Pine and Barton Streets | Pawtucket

I do not have either site plan. The increase in units may however simply be tied to smaller sf units. I myself was surprised by the new design having so many studio apartments. According to the recent article the 190 units will be made up of 99 studios, 79 one-bedroom units, and 12 two-bedroom units.
 
Wow, that is absolutely horrible. Went from a dense transit oriented development with a vernacular style that blended in to the surroundings… to a sea of parking lots with a little housing sprinkled in the middle that looks like anywhere usa.
 
New England Born & Raised said:
The new Pawtucket Transit Center passenger facility will feature public restrooms, driver restrooms and break room, a waiting area with seating and real-time passenger information screens, and a Pawtucket Police sub-station and security office. RIPTA will also have a staffed customer service window to assist riders as needed. This new building will improve the passenger experience for both bus and rail passengers.
The expected open date is late 2025/early 2026.

Update on the Short Line Lofts project. Ten new construction townhomes have already been built and work has commenced on existing adjacent old mill building conversion to 19 housing units. It is just to the west of the MBTA station at 180 Weeden St.

There is active excavation work happening at the 258 Pine Street Rise project that borders the train station parking lot. Unfortunately the original design was replaced by a cheaper looking suburban type multi building design.

This is the last of the six proposed TOD projects from the table above to be completed that will add approximately 700 new residential units in close proximity to the train station.

This 25 acre site is a block over from the train station.

On Sept. 4, the office of Gov. Dan McKee announced that it has awarded $4.875 million to the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency and Central Falls Redevelopment Agency to purchase the former Conant Thread–Coats & Clark Mill Complex District from a private owner.

The multi-million-dollar award from the Housing 2030 Municipal Neighborhood Revitalization Program will also allow the two cities to seek a master developer to transform the 25-acre site into a new mixed-use neighborhood, according to the news release. The redevelopment is projected to include at least 1,000 new homes, including no fewer than 200 units of low- and moderate-income housing, along with commercial uses, public open space, and green infrastructure.

It is incredible to think that Pawtucket, a city of just 8.9 square miles with little undeveloped open space, is possibly poised to add some 2,500 new units of housing within a few years. By my count, these projects (some already open, some in construction, and others proposed) could include

Transit Center - 700 units (either already opened or in construction)

Tidewater Landing - 575 units (nearing construction phase)

Apex Site - up to 800 units (multiple project proposals)

Conant Thread Complex - proposed with up to 1000 units in Pawtucket & Central Falls


(In addition, one or both of Pawtucket's current high schools will likely be converted into housing once the new unified school under construction on the former McCoy Stadium site opens in 2029)
