IN PROGRESS: Capitol Cove

[Prov001]

Thanks for the info/update - welcome to UP RI!!

Thanks for the welcome!

There shouldn't be a need for that. Canal Street should be able to allow for pedestrian crossing. A light at Park Row is in order in my opinion.

And since pigs will be flying, in a related note, did you know that per the zoning ordinance, if you catch a loose pig in Providence you're welcome to keep it and eat it?

[xine]

it says that in zoning ordinance? or in the city ordinances? there are some real sweet items in the city's ordinance book.

So, back on subject - I wonder if the train noise will be a problem when it comes time to rent it. That would be my biggest concern living there. Otherwise, it's an ideal location.

On Christmas day, one of the conductors offered an MBTA-horn syncopated version of "Jingle Bells" as they came into the station!

[Nolli]

while cute, that would really piss me off if i lived right next to the station.

I truly believe this project, if it happens, is far more significant to downtown than Waterplace, the westin, or 110. Whenever I talk about the current condo projects in the city, the response is the same: "are there really that many rich people in Rhode Island?" Maybe, I couldn't tell you. But what I can say is that there are tons of young people who love the city and want to live in downtown, but just cant afford it. There arent many options out there. I for one, as a college student, would be very interested in one of these units. I love the location and heck, if it brings down the price a little. Ill live by the tracks

Has anyone seen any official renderings of this project yet?

[mental757]

there must be an official announcement on this soon. We need Cotuit to work some insiders for more info on this!!

I know, really, I wonder why??

Just this which is a little hard to see.

Indeed, what was posted from the East Side Monthly matches what I've heard.

[Cotuit]

And the brick deck over the river - is that the ugly weed covered thing there now?

Is building A really "buildingS A"? It looks like two.

I would have much rather seen this land marketed for business than an apartment complex that will undoubtedly sit empty for awhile and be a hangout for grafitti artists. I don't know where this idea that the apartments will be affordable came from but the rendering does nothing for me. It could add to the streetscape or look like Villa Rio in Warwick. That is how vague the renderings look. The addition to the riverwalk is nice , but again, I think Pvd is going down the road ...let's put something there rather than look at the future of the central city as an economic/transportation hub. Let's throw in a whole bunch of housing and hope it all sticks....

no businesses are moving here.. what else do you expect to be built there?

Are we forgetting how close this is to a major train station- East side and all the doctors that work in the local hospitals?
