PROVIDENCE — The city has started reviewing plans for a 12-story residential building in the Jewelry District, on a site now occupied by parking lots. The property, at 137-151 Friendship St. and 194 Pine St., is in an area of downtown seeing a wave of new residential construction, including in the nearby I-195 Redevelopment District.
The completed building would contain about 225 apartments, most in studio and 1-bedroom formats, according to a Providence planning document. A rendering included in the planning documents shows the building would feature a glass and metal exterior, with individual balconies, and a rooftop pool and greenhouse.
