‪Easiest choice ever with new 195 district parcel 8 proposals… https://www.195district.com/documents/‬

Yea the height is capped (theoretically) based on a desire/plan for a human scaled, realistic scheme for the area. I guess “interesting” is individual. I find what’s happening in the area interesting.

Here are the guidelines developed from the public process if you’d like: https://www.195district.com/about/district-land/

Here’s the website for the parcel 6 project: hellopvd.com

Nary a chance for it in any event I’d say. With so much else going on I’m thankful to not introduce that mess of a project.

Sushi X-Press, Dojo properties on Thayer to be replaced by 4-story, mixed-use building - Providence Business News (pbn.com) I'm not in the camp that hates all the densification and new builds popping up around Brown. But these little one story commercial buildings do offer a lot of charm that...

Not helpful, but I thought they still had that space and another someplace else (Valley?) in addition to this building on Westminster which is in development: Neighborhood Nights: Neighborhood Development — West Broadway Neighborhood Association (wbna.org)

I’m glad they buried the quote from that lady about her bridge view. Mental.

A few more of Emblem from yesterday. Massive.

I’m fine with the design myself but there will be lots of changes during that phase with the commission I am sure.

I think it’s in scale with what’s going up around it and the plans for the other parcels not yet sold. I’m happy with it!

It’s not a marvel but way less hideous than what I thought it would be. Looks better in person. Good materials or something.

Ah - cool I hadn't noticed. Totally agree it's 1,000 times nicer. The stacks or whatever they are called are cool though! :)

Looking at the second photo you shared, lil, but, sorry, off topic from your comment. I’d love for Brown to in some way recreate the stacks atop South Street Landing. Totally epic!!! I think Providence at large needs to lean more into some sort of steam punk vibe; especially Valley.

Totally agree! Realigning the street to accommodate this, as well, I believe would more mirror the State House lawn to the west and is in keeping with the original plan. Is that not right? Hilarious to hear politicians bitch about this after allowing so much lawn turned into asphalt parking...

I don't think this was shared yet... Here's the latest on the RIPTA bus hub debacle from RIDOT and some pretty new pictures of what could be a new, central hub on three parking lots in the Jewelry District: RIDOT Multi Hub Alternative Sept 2021...

Interestingly I sat in on a meeting with the Jewelry District Association this eve and there seemed to be an attempt to set pace on a tone that ground floor retail was not preferable given all the empty retail space in the neighborhood (including unfinished new builds). That position seemed...
