BREAKING: Fane Tower Dead, Says Developer

Developer Jason Fane announced Friday that he will no longer be proceeding with the development of the Fane Tower -- which would have been the tallest structure in the city's history.  He first proposed this project six years ago.

“I came to Providence with a vision for a great and iconic project that would provide much-needed housing, quality jobs, and revenue for local government and have worked long and hard to make it a reality," said Fane Organization President Jason Fane.

"However, due to recent risk factors outside of my control, it is no longer feasible to move forward with this project.   

I wish the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission, the City of Providence, and the State of Rhode Island success with their plans for further development in the I-195 District.”
