"March 18 [is now the] grand opening to the public," said Marsella.
"Construction finishes next Friday. Training for three weeks with our staff. Delay of a few weeks from the [February] 27 date all utility-related," said Marsella. "But we’re good to go! March 18."
The food hall's costs have also increased from $22 million to now $25 million.
According to developers, the overall18,000 square foot project will include a large central bar, a new home for seven Rhode Island-based restaurateurs, indoor and outdoor seating for over 300 patrons, an entertainment venue, and a 10,000 square-foot plaza which will provide outdoor seating and a home for special events.
Scheduled to open in the food hall are Dolores; Dune Brothers; Guisto PVD; Little Chaska, Mother Pizzeria; There, There; and Tolia.
The big, bold project is expected to revitalize the Union Station area, which has been nearly morbid in recent years with the move of the Capital Grille and the closure of Luxe Burger in 2020.
Marsella's investment is one of the largest private investments in downtown Providence in years.
The Track 15 Story:
According to Marsella's team:
Paying homage to the station’s history, Track 15 is the most recent “track” to be added to the 14 original railways that once existed in the terminal.
With seating for nearly 300 people inside and an additional 100 outside in a reimagined pedestrian plaza, Track 15 will offer patrons the best of Rhode Island in a casual yet sophisticated and historic urban environment.
