The amount of pushback on any project in Providence is absurd. Some of the opinions are justified but it’s held back this city for too long.

Perfect find.

Build it- Provides Housing, parking, dining/entertainment. Its far enough from the river and provides great programming/security for the adjacent park. The views from this location/height would be the best around. Its location is a few blocks from the financial district and doesn't impose on the east side or jewelry district. It will not infringe on any sort of historical element of the city and is situated next to existing developments/infrastructure. I don't see any issue with the height as it's in scale with other high-rise buildings, literally blocks away. Its style is welcomed in my opinion as the skyline is already quite diverse with material/style and all represent a certain time in history. Over time, those who oppose will welcome it, especially once they view it in person as I believe it will be impressive. The main arguments are immaterial (in my opinion).

Definitely a cleaner design, and less height on the parking garage which will help with scale along Dyer St. I like it.

Yes , I’ve called them bubblers my whole life. The water actually projects vertically through the piece which is called a “bubbler”.
