Luxury residences overlooking Narragansett Bay and Wickford Harbor

Gilbane purchased an 81-acre peninsula overlooking Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay and Wickford Harbor. The property included a detailed set of plans for luxury condominiums, with all the necessary town approvals in place. By following a strategic real estate planning process, Gilbane was able to identify valid development options, assess the potential risk and reward, then select the best development solution (a planned village community). Laying the proper groundwork enabled us to attain market acceptance with a plan that preserved the coastal features, maintained a sense of place, and created a beautiful and inviting community.

Project Overview

  • 103-lot community of shingle-style homes that mixes architectural styles from Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Stonington, and Southampton
  • By placing the houses closer together and within 20-feet of the street, the neighborhood was able to capture more of a streetscape and the feeling of a seacoast village
  • Streets were laid out in narrow village lanes instead of in the traditional 40-foot subdivision configuration
  • Brick sidewalks, fences, street lights, and privet hedges reinforce the village feel
  • Recipient of Coastal Living Magazine Award for Responsible Residential Development, NEIGHBORWOODS Outstanding Residential Development Award for the Advancement of Forest and Open Space Conservation, Builder Magazine’s Builder’s Best Award, and Rhode Island American Society of Landscape Architects Award of Merit
