I-195 Redevelopment District’s Parcel 25 eyed for proposed, 5-story R.I. health laboratories building: I-195 Redevelopment District's Parcel 25 eyed for proposed, 5-story R.I. health laboratories building - Providence Business News (pbn.com) As expected, news that the Department of Health...

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...

Fane's plot was zoned for 100' unless I am mistaken. That's the key part of the opposition. In general I think the plan was for "human sized" buildings everywhere but the parcels along the highway where folks could go higher.

There is a whole set of guidelines developed through (what I was told was) a robust public process for each plot. You can see here: District Land (195district.com)

Whoops! Three proposals: Urbanica_Public_Presentation_REVISED.pdf (195district.com)

Two proposals for Parcel 2 on the agenda for the Sept. 20 committee meeting: PowerPoint Presentation (195district.com) PPCR_Presentation_v.2.pdf (195district.com) Kewl! Also - there is a Jewelry District Association said that Wexford is proposing something for Parcel 25 See here: JDA...

Here's the proposed "final" plan presentation for approval during Sept. 20th meeting: Providence Parcel 9 - Final Design Review2 (195district.com)

The Omni Group “Bell Tower” project is horrendous. I liked the footprint when it was going up but the materials, framing, colors and dollar store, pointless shutters are shameful. This is the same group looking to “redevelop” the site behind the old Citizens Bank building at Cranston and...

Whatever happened to Rodger Williams or URI or whatever uni it was taking up space? I guess those were pre pandemic rumors?

Yup - totally agree - golocal commenters are about as vile as the site's writers. Like the folks over at city data, I don't think most actually live in the city. Curmudgeons IMO. Totally disagree on Fane though - something trash golocal folks are actually desperate for. That podium would...

I think a fair perspective at large. The intro is clickbate, the point on Fane limited, ongoing media points like this on McKee talking demolition lacking any nuance, but I think fair otherwise.

Organic grocer moving into the space: https://pbn.com/organic-grocery-store-moving-into-downtown-providence/ I was doubtful but sounds good to me!

I changed the title of this thread from Crook Point Bridge to general public spaces. We should be (I hope so anyway) getting more news on the KP / Waterplace Park plan. Apparently Arup released "final" plans but I don't see on their website - only here: Providence, Rhode Island, and Arup reveal...
