Providence, RI Alan Doyle, principal of Larew Doyle & Associates, arranged $42.5 million in construction/mini-perm financing for the Edge at College Hill, a 247 unit/260-bedroom purpose-built student housing residence. The development comprises the construction of a new 15-story student residence and the renovation of an existing 4-story mixed-use building.

Designed in urban-style architecture, the student residences will feature floor to ceiling windows, security access, on-site management, a 24-hour fitness center, study/lounge areas, high-speed Internet services and a student dining area. 

Each unit will be fully furnished with a bed, dresser and desk in each bedroom, a 50” flat screen television, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, garbage disposal and in-unit washer/dryers. 

Construction of the Edge at College Hill commenced July and will be available for occupancy by August 2018, in time for the 2018 – 2019 college year. 

The site encompasses an entire city block bound by Canal St. to the west and North Main St. to the east. The development overlooks the city’s canal and Waterplace Park, adjacent to Rhode Island School of Design’s Campus, and is walking distance to Brown University and downtown.
