Edge College Hill
Edge College Hill, at 169 Canal Street, is a new 15-story micro-loft apartment building that looks out over the highly acclaimed Providence Riverwalk. Each of the 202 furnished apartments includes over-sized windows, high-end finishes, nine foot ceilings, fully equipped kitchens, and fold-down beds that tuck into contemporary cabinetry when not in use. Located a short walk from the train station, restaurants and multiple forms of entertainment, this project exemplifies “smart growth” principles by turning a former parking lot into a vibrant place for those who wish to live, work and play in downtown Providence. Views of the city create a sense of spaciousness from within the lofts, while a top floor common room offers spectacular views down the Providence River.
