This project involves the redevelopment of a Brownfield site that has undergone extensive remediation and at 27 acres is the largest near urban mixed use development in Rhode Island. With a project cost of almost $200 million it is currently the most expensive project in East Providence’s history.

The development proposes 475 housing units (with an affordable housing component), 30,000sf of shops and restaurants and 45,000sf of office space. The site will also include a marina, watertaxi service, a park, a proposed ornamental lighthouse, offering views of the Seekonk River and Providence's East Side. In keeping with the Ocean State’s love of the sea nearly all of the waterfront land would be accessible to the public.

The East Pointe development is also the largest development to date falling under the guidelines of the newly created East Providence Special Waterfront Development District. This process utilizes performance zoning standards that allows flexibility for the development team but insures maximum protection for the City and its environs.

NE&C is providing a full range of engineering services including site/civil; geotechnical; marine; and permitting through City of East Providence, RIDEM, CRMC, ACOE, RIPUC and all applicable utilities.
