The latest design revision of the Fane tower, now canceled. (GoLocalProv.com) The Fane tower is dead.

In fact, there is not much detail to the report from GoLocalProv.com, written by its Business Team, but here it is: Developer Jason…

Former design of Hope Point (Fane) tower, left. New design of toweer, right. (Fane) Developer Jason Fane has cut costs by removing the pizzazz from his proposed tower design. Without the sinuous curves, it looks less ridiculous but would not fit into the Jewelry District any better, if built, than before its redesign – its third redesign.

Renae: Jason. Go. To. Sleep.

Charles Denby is a doctor who has allied himself with the push for more art and sculpture in Providence. He doesn’t see why Providence should not have some large, iconic work of art such as The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen.
But Denby considers the skyscraper proposed by Jason Fane as more eyesore than icon. He has penned a statement against Fane’s 46-story tower from an aesthetic point of view.…

Got my paper this morning and was startled to read the headline “Trio of towers never stood a chance” on the front page. The story in the Providence Journal, by Kate Bramson, seemed to indicate that the project had been mortally wounded by a secret promise by the I-195 District Development Commission to leave a…

Unsurprisingly, the Providence Journal editorialized today in favor of the three residential towers, dubbed Hope Point Towers, proposed by New York developer Jason Fane.
