The Sponsor is proposing to construct a 145,000 square foot multi-family building on 2.85 acres of land located on Smith & Canal Street in Providence, RI. The completed project will have 169 units with 170 sub-surface parking lots and will feature a yoga room, gym, and roof-deck with views of the statehouse for the tenants. The project is adjacent to the Providence train station with easy access to the MBTA and Amtrak trains. The project costs are estimated at $54.1 million.
Approved Incentive
Sponsor has requested $5,833,333 in Rebuild Rhode Island Tax Credits, which will be issued in installments upon completion of the project. The Sponsor attempted to raise private capital to fill the gap – it contacted a significant number capital sources – but was unsuccessful in raising the capital required to complete the project.
