Property Highlights
New Construction
A top-of-the-line, modern space with flexible floor plans, ideal for businesses looking for a space tailored to their needs. Ventilation for food service is already in place, making The Avenue a prime opportunity for a café, bakery, quick-service restaurant, or small dine-in concept, but the space can be customized for any commercial opportunity.
Prime Location
Situated directly on on Atwells Avenue, this location enjoys heavy pedestrian foot traffic along with high vehicle volume, with Atwells Ave serving as both a destination for commerce as well as a major street artery connecting Downtown with the Federal Hill, Valley, and Olneyville neighborhoods.
The RIPTA Route 92 runs directly in front of the property, with a route that reaches as far west as Rhode Island College, with stops in Mt. Pleasant, Eagle Square, and Kennedy Plaza, and continues east to Eddy St, Fox Point, and the East Side.
The property sits within a densely-populated neighborhood. Federal Hill is host to a variety of seasonal events that draw crowds from around New England, including the Federal Hill Summer Festival and the Columbus Day Festival.
Potential Uses

One Neighborhood Builders is seeking commercial tenants with business activities that do not extend late into the night, given the residential units directly above.
