IN PROGRESS: 333 Atwells Avenue (Rialto Furniture)

[runawayjim]

Hi all.

I'm going to be putting in a reservation deposit for one of the units at 333 Atwells, and I was curious to see what people knew about the site (other than what's in Journal or on their Web site). Has anyone here reserved?

Thanks.

i suggest you check the 333 atwells thread.

thanks --- i did check out that thread, but I can't seem to access any of the newer posts. It says "Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again."

Hi guys.

I'm going to be putting a reservation deposit down for one of these units --- has anyone decided to buy one? Should I be aware of anything?

Thanks.

I went by the site this evening, no stunning progress but the shell of the Rialto building is all cleaned up and ready for the new construction, and there are footings at the street edge. It will be nice to have a building right up to the sidewalk there, but I'm still sad about the surface parking.

It looks like they are keeping some of the original structure?

if walgreens goes there, that sort of makes it harder for a downcity pharmacy to open up and be profitable without adding a large number of residents to downcity.. no?

Heh, actually I'd expect CVS to go in right across the street, that tends to be the pattern with pharmacies in RI doesn't it?

another pattern we might see more of in the future is dunkin donuts and starbucks

I just found out that the airport will have a Starbucks in the new food court (post security checkpoint) and a smaller one on the first floor where the new "meeter and greeter" area will be. DD will remain where it is near the Southwest Airlines' gates, but new mini ones will be opened at the end where US Airways' gates are and another mini one in front of the US Airways ticket counters.

So the DD v. SB battle has migrated to TFG Airport now too!!!

It won't be a 24-hour store and it won't have a drive-thru pharmacy.

A nice looking urban Walgreens?!

Will certainly be followed by a CVS. Speaking of which, has anyone seen the new CVS on Oaklawn Ave in Cranston (coincidentally built right next to a brand new Walgreens, across the street from Phred's Drugs). It is the UGLIEST thing I've ever seen built. A whole new level of ugly, even for Cranston.

How is the location of 333 Atwells? Crime? Noise? Shops/Restaurants within walking distance? etc?

There were four hundred and sixteen million people in Venda today! And the sidewalks are pretty damn packed today too.

Atwells can get noisy, but it tends to attract an older demographic than say Thayer's restaurants do. The most annoying part of Atwells is the valets driving down the alleys at 80mph. I keep telling myself I'm going to start dropping bricks on them, luckily (for them) I'm too lazy to haul bricks up to the 3rd floor.
