Providence developments

ICYMI: Today we released our FY2026 Housing Report - a breakdown of all the accomplishments we've made in housing for the last year. Providence is leading Rhode Island in housing developments with this years certificates of occupancy almost doubled compared to last year. Our progress is not happening by accident, we have made it easier to build housing, we have invested directly in affordable housing, put vacant and underused properties back to productive use and worked with state and development partners to move projects forward.
There is more work ahead but my administration is focused on delivering housing that our neighbors need and ensuring Providence is a City where people can afford to live and build a future.

mixed use building consisting of internal parking on the ground floor, commercial space on the
sixth story and 28 residential units on the second through fourth stories in the C-2 zone. The

Fantastic, build it yesterday.

Between Dye House, Dusty Planet, Siren Spirits, etc., it's really evolving for the better. This type of infill will only help move it along. Great for Olneyville. Too bad Wes's couldn't make it work, but hopefully someone can do something with that space. It shouldn't need a ton of work.
 
Meeting tomorrow on the proposal for 1183 North Main St. Replaces a surface lot and small single story building. Seems like a no-brainer.

Why do people always call out those tall elevator/utility shafts or whatever they are in another colour like they are some design feature to be celebrated. Same with that Olneyville one in orange.

This project is just a few blocks from the border with Pawtucket and would be the tallest building in the area. This stretch of N Main Street has however always been busy over the years and more recently changed quite a bit as it was once long ago a retail corridor midway between the downtowns of Providence and Pawtucket. Stores such as Sears, Murray's, Anderson Little, and Ethan Allen all operated there. It furthermore had numerous entertainment enterprises over time as it had the Down Under Bowling Alley, Loew's Drive-in (where Ocean State Job is now), RI Auditorium (state's largest indoor arena), and Providence Cycledrome stadium (home of NFL Steamrollers team).

I know this isn't what you mean, but I had to laugh because this is the location of the brothel that was raided last year. So in a way...

But it would be nice to see this stretch evolve back into a more urban form. A little bit of height wouldn't be bad along N. Main either.

Agreed. I do not mind taller structures lining N Main. It is a busy wide road linking two urban centers that is totally built out. I however would not want anything tall on the side streets.
 
Admiral Street Apartments. Almost Complete.

Davies breaks ground on $35 million expansion

LINCOLN – William M. Davies Jr. Career and Technical High School has broken ground on a $35-million expansion designed to transform how students in three of its career programs learn
www.valleybreeze.com www.valleybreeze.com
Click to expand...
Davies could soon be impacted by the new unified Pawtucket High School which will include a fully integrated Career and Technical Education (CTE / voke-tech) center offering over 20 hands-on pathways (culinary arts, carpentry, automotive technology, filmmaking, manufacturing, and forensics are some). The curriculum will combine modern college-preparatory academics directly with technical pathway spaces rather than separating vocational programs into a completely standalone trade school.

Pawtucket students make up the largest percentage of the Davies enrollment.

Construction continues on our new emergency department! The future emergency department will help us reduce wait times, increase patient privacy, and improve coordination of care. We're so appreciative of our patients, visitors, and community neighbors for their continued patience during construction.

The Miriam Hospital renovation project will update both the Emergency Department and the hospital’s inpatient units.

They've had a banner with this rendering on it posted on the building for a month or so. If they actually build it as rendered, it would be a huge win. A really nice retrofit of the existing space.

Agreed. The annex section to the right is today just one floor with a flat roof. It does not meld well with the original firehouse portion. Adding height to the annex gives the whole structure more uniformity.
