Wanskuck Mill

Originally developed as textile mills in the 1870s, the site includes five existing buildings that once supported a range of industrial uses, including blacksmith shops, engine rooms, boiler houses, and gasometers. Through thoughtful historic rehabilitation, the project gives new life to these structures while preserving the character and legacy of the original mill complex.

The redevelopment will introduce 228 housing units, including studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus, two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus, and townhouse layouts. Beyond the residences, the complex will include a bike shop, coffee shop, gym, and a variety of retail and commercial spaces, creating a more active and connected neighborhood environment.

The result is a layered adaptive reuse project that honors Providence’s industrial past while supporting the city’s future through housing, community amenities, and everyday gathering spaces.
