Live, Work, and Thrive: Affordable Townhouses with Built-in Business Opportunities

Ivy Place is a thoughtfully conceived urban infill project that introduces thirteen new homeownership units to the heart of one of East Providence’s Main Street corridors in the Waterfront District. As an attainable housing development, the majority of these units are deed-restricted affordable housing intended for ownership, addressing the growing need for accessible housing options within this community.

Located just steps from local eateries, City Hall, a post office and public library, this development revitalizes the long-vacant former site of the historic Bomes Theater, and transforms it into a dynamic, community-focused neighborhood. Ivy Place exemplifies a holistic approach to urban development, combining housing affordability, economic growth, and community engagement to foster a more resilient and connected East Providence.

Empowering Residents

A defining feature of the project is the inclusion of four Live/Work townhouses along Taunton Avenue, the city’s main commercial corridor. These innovative townhouses seamlessly integrate residential and commercial spaces, allowing residents to run businesses from their homes while contributing to the vibrancy and economic vitality of the area
