PROVIDENCE – Brown University has sold the properties at 60 Clifford St. and 216 Eddy St. to Providence Innovation District Phase II Owner, affiliated with Ventas Inc. – the entity that controls the real estate for Wexford Science & Technology – for $2.2 million.
The building at 60 Clifford St. is the site of Nabsys 2.0 LLC. The 216 Eddy St. property is currently a parking lot.
The land is adjacent to the I-195 Redevelopment District, where an innovation center is currently under construction for Wexford and a 170-room hotel will be developed and run by the Aloft brand. The hotel site will be developed by CV Properties, according to Peter McNally executive director of the I-195 District commission.
The properties that have been sold by Brown, McNally said, are part of a planned assemblage of lots for the Wexford campus, “which was anticipated going back a couple of years ago.” Eventually the Nabsys building will be replaced with new construction, but he said the company will remain at the site for the foreseeable future.
