POSTPONED: 110 Westminster Street

rooftop restaurant please

[Garris]

I would be happy with an observation deck somewhere in the city, some what like they have in the Prudential tower in Boston.

[Cotuit]

They should monitize that space and do dining there regularly off the M&S menu...

[Pseudo_Work]

M&S = Marks & Spencer? Didn't know they were involved in this project.

[runawayjim]

Yes they should monetize it, but using some other menu please.

09

From what I've been told (this is before the final bill passed the Assembly), there was a deadline of July '09, of course I would assume the city would like to see that happen sooner rather than later.

There used to be a restaurant on the top floor of the biltmore--in the room where you have cocktails and stuff (not the ballroom) and I don't know what happened to it.

I agree that PVD needs at least a great bar at the top of one of these buildings. Back in the day PPS used to do this fundraiser in the spring called "Dinner with a View" and I had dinner at the top of Turks Head, and at the top of Citizens, and while Turks Head is just a board room, the top of Citizens is a function room. It was beautiful. I think that the building that used to be called Washington Mutual (the square building with Heminways on the first floor?) supposedly has an incredible view from its board/function room, plus it has an outdoor patio thing.

So yes, rooftop restaurant please. It doesn't even need to rotate!

There were cars parked in this space last night.

I was just going to say the same thing...noticed them while I was walking around today.

How many?

[Pseudo_Work]

I think five or six, but to be completely honest I wasn't paying the closest attention.

Why don't the developers of 110 Westminister and the Vista Della Torre get together and build one project downtown? If you merged the proposed buildings together you would have a new tallest for Prov. and would solve the problem of the opposition on Federal Hill. If you add an observation deck and rooftop restaurant then this would become a destination building.

meant to post this sooner, I drove past the site last night around 10:15, the fence is covered with tarp and the gate was open with trucks inside and a guy standing at the gate with a hard hat... odd...

[provid]

[chaz200]

A hoary revival of a dormant project thread.

Exciting news, guys. As reported this morning by Channel 10, the W website now lists a W hotel opening in Providence in 2010. I didn't believe it 'til I saw it myself, but sure enough, it's there.

Wow, they better get crackin'. Let's hope this happens, and all this talk turns into a new building downtown!

[frymasterspeck]

Man, that's great. I was starting to wonder if the exo-skeleton frame thingee on Weybosset was going to keep that sidewalk closed forever.

[Cotuit]

Yeah, at this point I wouldn't even care if they knocked that facade down, as long as the street opens back up. The idea of saving it is kind of a joke anyhow.
