There was an update today in the Valley Breeze on the Dexter Commons project. The project is not yet completely dead as developers are asking for another extension. https://www.valleybreeze.com/news/dexter-street-developer-asks-for-extension/article_780c389e-cf44-11ee-b24a-c35fc5489ee1.html

The steel frame work for this development continues to rise. This photo was taken Sunday, February 18, 2024:

The site at the corner of Bassett and Claverick Streets looks to be just outside the 195 District but appears to abut Parcel 34. It is marked in the center of this Google Earth View Map: 195 District Land Parcels

The Downtown Design Panel has given Pebb Capital approval to go forward with a project at 33 Bassett Street in the Jewelry District. The site is across from CAV and presently contains several buildings that would need to be demolished. The new construction project on the site would be a six...

Given this development is high atop a hill, the surrounding long time neighbors should have greater concerns for future flooding. More new building and development combined with the ever more frequent high rainfall events are wreaking havoc on already well established neighborhoods all over...

After some initial demolition work, everything stopped on the Dexter Commons project. I have seen little evidence at the site or in the news that leads me to believe this project is actually progressing. I fear the onset of Covid, lower commuter rail numbers with WFH, and higher...

I too have not found renderings or much else about the 327 Pine Street Project. This project at the corner of Pine and Barton Streets involves two phases that include a renovation of existing space and new construction. When both phases are complete, the total project will have approximately...

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.

Work is progressing on the renovation and enlargement of the structures at Richmond and Friendship Streets which will add more residential units. Project: https://www.golocalprov.com/business/richmond-residences-another-downtown-insult-architecture-critic-morgan

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