The job market and wages are not as good in the Providence area when compared to Boston. The job advantage however flips when it comes to housing as you can get more for far less in the Providence area. Working in Boston while living near Providence is a winning personal money strategy on both...

Construction update for the Penrose 127 unit residential project on Parcel 9

Excavation work is now ongoing at the site. There are several tubular concrete forms under the soil that are being removed. I would think these may have been the footings for the elevated Route 195 that once passed overhead here.

The 300,000sf seven story life sciences building in the Jewelry District should be a plus. The area on Richmond Street near Ship and Elbow Streets is presently a surface parking lot which appears to be already owned by Brown.

This is a photo of the new complex nearing completion very close to the Narragansett Park Plaza Lifestyle Center project. The Cumberland Farms (left) has been open for several months. The retail strip to the right is close to occupancy and the apartments in the rear are still under...

The Carpionato Group has once again proposed changes to its overhaul and conversion of the Narragansett Park Plaza into a mixed use retail, restaurant, residential and office space lifestyle center. The project has undergone many delays over the last several years due to the pandemic and...

Same here. That is why I made the post after I did some research. I was at first excited when I saw your Tuesday post thinking this was an entirely new project. Unfortunately it was not.

There is finally some movement on the expansion of parking at the station. It had been reported around its opening that more parking was expected to be added by the end of the summer. That did not occur even as it was soon apparent the station's initial 200 car lot was insufficient. It is now...

Just so people know, this is the before mentioned building that will also house the RI State Health Lab.

They had at one time before Dorrance Street advocated that it be on Gaspee Street at the foot of the statehouse to be near the train station for an inter-modal transit hub. https://turnto10.com/news/local/state-house-lawn-eyed-for-transit-hub

Central Falls looks to be following the communities of East Providence (now open) and Pawtucket (to be built) with plans for a new high school. The one mile city of some 22,583 (2020 census) residents is moving toward replacing its nearly century old home at 24 Summer Street. Unlike the old...

I assume it is still going ahead as I have heard nothing indicating otherwise. The district web site still shows the project as live. BankRI only announced it would be a part of it just ten months ago in October of 2022. Their press release indicated then that a summer of 2023 construction...

The area around the intersection of Point/Wickendon and S Main streets its really coming together and seems like it will be the first part of the district to be fully developed. Parcel 6 is just about done and occupied. Trader Joe's has been joined there by a liquor store and will soon have an...

The latest segment of the riverfront park in Providence opened this past week. This section on the west bank extends from the pedestrian bridge south to the Point Street Bridge. It includes a small bridge, walkways, and plantings. A linear park now lines most of both sides of the river for...
