UNION Awarded Urban Guild Merit Award for Westminster Street Revitalization

We extend our heartfelt thanks to The Urban Guild for honoring our project, Westminster Street Revitalization, with an Urban Guild Merit Award for Design Excellence!


This revitalization represents a significant step in transforming “downcity” Providence, Rhode Island, through the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic department stores and office buildings. The project includes the nine-story Beaux Arts Lapham Building, the two-story Art Deco Wit Building, and the five-story Neo-Classical Trayne Building, which features a new four-story addition. Together, these buildings now offer 55 downtown apartments, 16,000 square feet of commercial and restaurant space, and 9,000 square feet of office space.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and determination of our client and collaborator, Buff Chace (@cornishassociates).

Thank you for your continued support!
