Parcel 6-Providence, RI

The I-195 parcel in Downtown Providence was successfully transformed into a dynamic, mixed-use community that strengthened the urban fabric and delivered long-term value to the surrounding district. Strategically positioned along a key downtown corridor, the development was designed to activate the site while meeting the area’s growing demand for residential living, essential retail, and accessible parking.

The project was anchored by a 20,000-square-foot supermarket, establishing a high-traffic, neighborhood-serving retail destination that supported both residents and the broader downtown population. Two multi-story residential buildings were constructed, each incorporating ground-level retail space to create an active, pedestrian-friendly streetscape and encourage continuous engagement throughout the day.

This approach maximized site utilization while ensuring convenient access for residents, retail tenants, and visitors.

The project also delivered a fully modernized utility infrastructure across the entire parcel. All systems were newly installed, including multiple electrical transformers to support current and future building demands, new water and gas services, and comprehensive fire suppression systems serving each structure. This robust infrastructure enhanced reliability, code compliance, and long-term operational performance.

Overall, the completed development repositioned the I-195 parcel as a vibrant, self-sustaining mixed-use destination, reinforcing Downtown Providence as a desirable place to live, shop, and invest while delivering a high-quality, future-ready asset for ownership and stakeholders.
