My recent photo was of a different development (both renovation of existing space and new construction) to the west of the tracks at #327 Pine Street at its corner with Barton Street. The photo above is of entirely new construction project at the corner of Pine and Waverly on the eastern side...

Things in the Canal District area around Polar Park continue to see ups and downs. Two more local businesses, Lock 50 restaurant and the Maker to Main market have closed up their operations. new ownership had just taken over Lock 50 in October but couldn't last beyond three months...

I could actually see Concord allowing a multi unit residential complex at the prison given its location. Its proximity to Rte 2 reduces its SFH desirability potential. I doubt someone would want their million dollar plus home next to such a busy road. Concord did allow the Warner Woods...

Found something that corroborates the two parcels being sold together by the city:

A further look indicates that a parking lot already exists in that site at Cora Street. It doesn't really make much sense in the context of the neighborhood today. I don't recall when the building was last used, but I would guess that it might have once been parking for it. These two...

Where are they putting 100 parking spaces on that site? One rendering shows the removal of the heating plant with some 20 spaces off Prospect Street. The other rendering shows a lot on 5th Street with a single row of spaces that number around 15 by the looks of it. All the land surrounding...

I like it. A Ziff's Paperworld mention.

I went by the Pawtucket MBTA Commuter Rail Station yesterday near noon and took a look at the new parking section which was opened just last week. It appears that nearly all the spaces are coming close to being full. I estimated that there were only about 20-30 unused spaces at the time I was...

The new residential complex that will be across from the station in the former Pawtucket Manufacturing Company mill at the corner of Barton and Pine Streets is taking form. It is a two phase project that includes a renovation of existing space and new construction. When both phases are...

A big issue with the conversion of the old high school will be parking. There is little open surface space surrounding the building. The parking area in the rendering may be the only off street parking and it will require some demo of the former heating system space for the structure.

I went by the site this past weekend. Steel framing is now going up. Photo of progress:

The additional connected parking lot with some 270 more spaces is now open. Brings the total parking spaces in the station lot to approximately 470. These spaces are still free as there has been nothing yet announced about charging. It had initially been reported that parking would only be...

It should be noted that the proposed Metacomet Center would be just a short distance north on the Parkway from the Kettle Point Development by Churchill Banks that was built in the last decade. Kettle Point is a 49 acre mixed use development on a former petroleum tank farm site. It has 290...

This development will be across from the Holy Ghost Church at the end of Atwells near Route 6 and Eagle Square. This is what the site where The Avenue will be built looks like today.

The valuable property on the Parkway across from the East Bay Bike path and the river just a mile from Providence is visible in the bottom right corner of this map:

The Marshall Company has come out with another development plan for the former Metacomet Golf Club property in East Providence that would have 890 new residences and 153,000 sf of retail space which would include a supermarket and bank. The future use of the site has been a controversial topic...

The Providence line of the MBTA Commuter Rail system will be the first to go electric. The necessary track infrastructure is already there for Amtrak. The MBTA's biggest investment will be for new electric engines. The introduction of this service should reduce the trip from Providence to...
