Maybe it's just my OCD acting up, but I'd like to have this thread be updated (similar to the building height ranking thread) to show when all the numerous 'significant' projects are expected to be completed (even if just proposed - just not a 'rumor').  The ones I know off hand are:

Fidelity renovation (old AMEX):                                 August 2006
GTech Headquarters building:                                 September 2006
Hilton Renovation:                                           September 2006
Providence Renaissance Hotel (Masonic Temple):     December 2006
ALCO phase 1 (first 5 buildings - office & retail space):     December 2006
Westin II:                                                        June 2007
Waterplace:                                                August 2007
Hilton parking garage:                                         December 2007
T. F. Green Airport Terminal Renovations:     December 2007
Wickenden St. Comm CTR & Library:            December 2007
Dynamo House & Heritage Harbor Museum:     October 2008
OneTen Westminster:                                  December 2008
Dunkin Donuts Center renovations:               December 2008
ALCO 'final' phases:                                    December 2008
Warwick Intermodal Transportation Center:  October 2009
Empire at Broadway:                                              December 2010


still need:
last phases of the Foundry
Federal Hill condos and hotel proposals (that are more than just rumors)
Parcel 12??
etc.

Gtech is the end of next month and E@B is the end of 2010. Masonic should be completed this winter. The Hilton renovation should be done for September of this year.

The major project for 06' is really Gtech when they add the 500+ workers to the city soon and we hopefully get a projo article on their response to working in Providence..... that, and the AMEX fidelity deal. The entire block is going to add about 1000 daily workers

Waterplace and The Westin II are going to be finished in 07' probably both in early fall.


Cotuit would be the master at doing this though

[Statesman]

The actual name for the Masonic Temple project is the Providence Renaissance Hotel and it's slated to be done this winter, yep.

I don't know that it actually deserves a spot on the list, but the AMEX building is already occupied by a handful of fidelity employees and just walking around down there feels a lot different with a tenant that actually cares about the surroundings.  I don't know if they are going to have an official opening for their remodel, though.  Speaking of which, the place doesn't look too bad now that it's been remodelled.

Do these people also play Polo?

The hotel is new construction, no?  Do we even know where in the complex the hotel is to be built?

It has to be 12/2007, 6 months can't possibly be enough time!

i think the 110 end date is sometime in the second half of 2008.

from the projo:

"The development is nicknamed ALCO, and its insignia was borrowed and updated from American Locomotive Works' letterhead. Struever hopes to complete the first phase of the project, which includes a hotel and office buildings, by the end of the year, and finish the entire project by 2008."

Of course, they could be mistaken...

OK - I'll roll with Dec 2008 until we have a better idea on the timing...

you should check out the development maps... they have all the start and end dates for the projects.

what's the link - on the SBER site???

Haha, I did that and totally forgot that I put end dates on a lot of them. Some are a little off target now though.

[gregw]

I thought that the final phase of the ALCO project--the Nicholson File/Capco property on Acorn St. south of the river--was going to be done pretty far down the road--like 2010 or something.

[Cotuit]

The most important question is when is Happy Endings Dessert Spa having its grand opening?

cool - thanks, I hadn't found that page here yet!

I still would like to have a single listing for all the major projects versus having to click on each site though.  Perhaps Cotuit could help me keep the dates up to speed in this one too???

You can add the Wickenden St. Bath House/Community Center/Library for the end of 2007...

Everything proposed on Federal Hill feels like vaportechture at this point, I'll believe them all when I see them.
