 South Street Landing, a former power plant that serviced a large portion of Providence Rhode Island, was built in phases between 1912 and 1952. Located along the Providence River, South Street Landing sits within the Jewelry District, a neighborhood known for its history as a costume jewelry manufacturing hub. The plant was decommissioned in 1995 and early attempts to reuse the site failed. After sitting shuttered for 17 years, Boston-based developer CV Properties teamed up with Brown University, Rhode Island College, and the University of Rhode Island to develop a shared vision for the plant. The project sought to retain the historic elements of the brick-classical revival structure while reimagining its function and jump-starting the local economy. Completed in 2017 with the help of federal, state, and local incentives, the property was transformed into more than 305,000 square feet of adapted shared space. Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island joined together to create a state-of-the-art nursing education center, which includes technologically advanced simulation and training systems, complete with lifelike robotic mannequins. The remaining space is used by Brown University for administrative offices. The redevelopment of South Street Landing, part of a recently designated 125-acre riverfront area, has spurred investments in the surrounding neighborhood. This emerging innovation and design district is now experiencing an economic revival powered by this electrifying preservation success.
