History

Providence Town Center was developed by Brandolini Companies, Inc. [2] The first phase of Providence Town Center opened in October 2009, consisting of Wegmans and several other large retailers. [3]

At this time, the center was 73 percent leased and several retailers had pulled out of plans of opening stores at the center because of the Great Recession that was occurring. These issues caused the second phase of the Providence Town Center to be delayed. [3]

Movie Tavern opened at the Providence Town Center in spring 2011. By this time, more retailers started showing interest in opening at Providence Town Center. [4]

In 2012, work on the second phase of Providence Town Center took place, adding several new retailers and restaurants. [4]

In 2022, Providence Town Center was sold by Brandolini Companies, Inc. to Finmarc Management Inc. and KPR Centers for $161.75 million. [2]

The tradition lasted until 1984 when developer Willard G. Rouse III of Rouse & Associates announced plans to build an office building complex that included two towers taller than City Hall. There was a great amount of opposition to the construction of the towers with critics believing breaking the height limit would lead to construction of many more tall skyscrapers, ruining the livability and charm of Center City. Despite the opposition, construction of One Liberty Place was approved and the first phase of the project began in 1985 and was completed in 1987.
