Joseph Caffey Apartments and Jordan Caffey Townhomes
DBVW worked with Omni Development Corporation in conjunction with Wingate Companies to redevelop the Barbara Jordan II apartments, which have sat vacant and uninhabitable since 2017. DBVW played an integral role while developing the design vision for this project. Seeking to revitalize the South Providence neighborhood, this innovative and transformational project included demolishing the existing 74 substandard units and replacing them with 83 new units within 11 new, energy efficient buildings that fit well within their urban context.
