This will not be affordable housing. If the city just maintains the park it could open a seasonal outdoor concert venue and generate more income. The trickle down effect for our economy isn’t as beneficial as a tax free construction project for a luxury condo building.
This project is for luxury housing, not affordable housing (there’s no shortage of luxury condos). The project and developers are probably getting away tax free for decades like most developers in town. In 5-10 years the people who live there will pay taxes and shop at restaurants yay!
Picture a luxury condo building at least 2x the size of all the rest, it will dominate all views of the city and eat up sorely needed public park space. This is a terrible thing for the city.
Send an email by 5p today to share your thoughts about the proposed 550ft tower. If allowed the tower will overshadow the city and ruin the best new park in the city too. Let your voice be heard. The meeting is Wed the 18th second floor of 225 Dyer St. at 5p. Be ready to show up, protest and let Fane and the 195 commission know we don’t want that tower!

The Arcade - Providence RI. Said to be the oldest shopping mall in America. Only a couple downstairs storefronts were occupied.
