    Infill and Small Developments | Providence

    This was green lit for a vacant piece of land within a sea of parking near the hospitals: https://www.providencejournal.com/story/news/local/2024/04/19/178-unit-apartment-building-gets-approval-near-rhode-island-hospital/73353614007/ The same developer has a project going up on Broad Street...

    Infill and Small Developments | Providence

    A couple other small projects I came across: 256 Broadway/ Gladding House. I wasn't in the meeting, but, ahead, Historic Commission staff okayed an addition/ extra story to the building. What was interesting in the plan is a suggestion of a Phase II which would be a new build on a vacant lot...

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

    258 Pine Street was on the agenda in a city meeting last night but I don't know the outcome. The project has it's one website now (https://risepawtucket.com/) I found. Glad it appears to not be dead. I think a hunking building would be good for the empty strip amongst the mill buildings and...

    Infill and Small Developments | Providence

    Community Music Works on Westminister and Dexter is coming along - the panelling is going up on the back. It’s an ashy wood rainscreen I think and looks pretty good. Hard to tell from the photo.

    195 Providence Innovation & Design District

    The renders for this one always looked weird/off to me. Glad for it but the windows or something make it feel like it should be next to a suburban mall maybe…

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

    Yea totally agree! I looked with no success. From what I’ve seen in person 327 looks quality, at least so far. I found a Dexter St render (https://www.dexterstreetcommons.com/) which is another largeish one in the vicinity of these two Pine St projects being discussed. Curious how this will...

    Metacomet Center | Veterans Memorial Parkway | East Providence

    Basically a parking lot unfortunately. I don't get (don't understand) the way proposals like this use the land... like, I love a four story apartment complex but what's the point in terms of density if it's surrounded by a sea of asphalt. You might get as many units of cottage-styled apartments...

    195 Commission: We Need Vision – Architecture Critic Morgan

    I guess his old curmudgeon views and general negativity work nicely alongside GoLocal’s clickbate, fear mongering garbage.

    They picked Riverside Partners tonight. That’s pretty cool I think. Was probably the most bold proposal. Will be glad for it if it works out.

    I can't find anything else but here is a more current rendering for the Brown life sciences building in the Jewelry District from TENBERKE ARCHITECTS D.P.C. Here's the story from PBN on approval from DDRC...

    Here's some more renders from the meeting last night. Seems fine. Def preferred the original proposal.

    That hotel proposal seemed so dated it was modern again. I never rejected it! :)

    Providence developments

    Proposals for Parcel 1A are public: https://www.195district.com/documents/ I'm thinking I'm liking the PVD Architecture and Building plan the most... I love the PVD Flee but we definitely need something more than a canopy over this land.

    Food Hall | Union Station | Providence

    Sweet! I guess Smiley killed plans for work to Kennedy Plaza and around the Waterfire basin, which included another, over-the-street link to this area?

    Few status shots of the Marathon development project in Broad and the Crossroads project (huge lot) just behind it.

    Infill and Small Developments | Providence

    I guess this can go here. Community Music Works is above ground. Sorry, terrible photo. Plans: https://communitymusicworks.org/the-community-musicworks-center/ This, in the vicinity of the quirky Big Nazo space still in progress, should be an awesome combo!
