CV Properties is the same developer that built the Aloft Hotel and 225 Dwyer Street (Wexford) across the street from this proposal. Unlike the Fane Tower, this project is likely to actually get built.

Even if a stadium does not get built, the site remediation for future development has been completed. As for soccer, I would think the recent rumors that the Revs might get a stadium in Everett by the casino would be beneficial for any possible future RI soccer franchise. Gillette Stadium in...

The site for this 180 unit residential project is literally right next to the parking lot for the new Pawtucket MBTA Commuter Train Station. 258 Pine Street used to have an old mill building that was across from Armando's Market. It had a fire in 2018 and was demolished in 2020. I had thought...

Took some photos today of the progress on the river walk on the west side. This extension will connect the park by the Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge to Point Street going along the river behind the parking garage, South Street Power Station Complex (Brown/URI/RIC), and River House student...

Photo Progress Update on two new Brown University dorms on the East Side - 250 Brook Street and Danoff Hall (259 Brook Street) near the intersection with Power Street. Designed for upper-division students, these five-story residence halls will feature two-, three-, and four-bedroom suites...

The only routes to the top of the hill from Boynton Street now appear to be the long walk by the Skull Tomb with two sets of stairs that bring you out to the front door side of Boynton, The switchback road by the Skull Tomb, Unity Hall internal stairs and elevators, and the stairs by...

I looked for them as lived near Institute and Boynton for three years and trudged up them frequently. Had to also use them for the computer center (WACCC) back in my day as it was located on a lower level of Gordon Library. These stairs and their wide slate treads are gone with no current...

I visited my alma mater WPI's newest academic building, Unity Hall in early January. It is built into the hill above Boynton Street. Its location was somewhat constroverisal as it blocked the view of at least one of the TWO TOWERS, the Washburn Shops. WPI's motto Lehr und Kunst basically...

I never quite understood all the hysterical anti Hope Point Tower NIMBYism. A city like Providence needs development and its associated increase of tax revenues. This tower was proposed for the downtown core and not in an historic part of the the city. I however am not surprised that it...

A footbridge seems silly when much of Barton Street right by the station is closed to traffic because of its poor condition. How then could a footbridge few would ever use be justified over repairing a street bridge that would see traffic? Google Maps Note the barriers on Barton Street near...

The Bruce Freeman Trail is one of the few major trails in MA that I have not ever done. Will have to look at it again. One of the issues dissuading me from it in the past was that its one-time southern end in Carlisle had no parking. I have done most of the other MA trails - Cape Cod Canal...

Did not know where to post this. It appears that the long vacant decaying former Pawtucket and Central Falls Depot that sits above three tracks used by Amtrak, MBTA Commuter Rail, and the Providence & Worcester Railroad (freight) appears headed toward demolition. It was built after the tracks...
