Warwick, RI, July 27, 2015... According to the Rhode Island Association of Realtors, last month was the most active month in Rhode Island single family home sales in sixteen years, surpassing even the busiest month during the pre-recession housing boom. In June, 1094 existing single family home sales took place, a comparable number to the 1099 sales transacted in June of 1999. Last month’s single family home sales eclipsed the 1066 sales which took place in June, 2004, the most active period of the housing upsurge. The robust market shows no sign of slowing down. Sales under contract but not yet closed also rose by ten percent, an indication of a strong single family home market in the months to come.
Rhode Island also saw a three percent increase in the median sales price of single family homes sold in June, increasing to $236,500 from $230,000 in June of 2014.

Rhode Island is the new International Gateway to Cabo Verde Islands. When Arik De, chief operating officer for Cape Verde Airlines (TACV), bragged at a reception Tuesday at Green Airport that in the last month 87 percent of airline’s flights were on time, there was a round of applause. The airline’s inaugural scheduled flight to Green – the airport’s first scheduled overseas international flight – was not one of them. That’s because the flight arrived nearly an hour early. That didn’t stop the Rhode Island Airport Corporation from giving the 757 and its 177 occupants a watery reception. As the plane taxied to the terminal, fire trucks on either side sprayed skyward to form a welcoming arch. Then the pilot and co-pilot opened their windows and held out American and Cape Verdean flags as they approached the gate.

This is going to be a busy summer at Green Airport. It’s already begun – not the summer, but all the construction.
“We’ll spend more money this construction season than in any other season,” Kelly Fredericks, president and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, said Friday.
Overall, airport projects will ring up a quarter of a billion dollar tab in airport improvements, home acquisitions and home soundproofing. Fredericks estimates more than $62 million will be spent on projects this summer.

Living in city centers has never been more appealing to Americans of all ages, and Rhode Islanders are no exception. Apartments cannot be built fast enough in downtown Providence to meet demand. And the state's other urban cores continue to offer developers opportunities to build residential properties that fill up with people who enjoy the hustle, bustle and cultural opportunities that living in a city offers.So what to make of Warwick's City Centre project? The city – Rhode Island's second-most-populous – has spent a number of years simplifying zoning and permitting for the area adjacent to T.F. Green Airport centered on the Interlink multimodal transportation hub. The concept revolves around the assumption that today's urban dwellers want access to robust public transportation systems, and there is not another spot in the state with more transportation options than that part of Warwick.But can City Centre Warwick ever really be an urban core for a town built around the village concept? In talking to the city's long-standing mayor, Scott Avedisian, and others, it is clear that this new development is just a modern take on an old idea. Warwick is just looking to create a new village that, should it accomplish what it sets out to do, will deliver a less-suburban experience in a less-than-urban environment. And for that reason, it is an experiment worth paying attention to.

Mayor Scott Avedisian is among proponents of a 95-acre city center, arguing that the plan would spur economic development. The community that would become Rhode Island’s second-largest city sprang up in a system of scattered developments, around mills and historic villages. And if it had something that could be considered a town economic center, Warwick lost it when West Warwick split away more than a century ago.
It’s now trying to reclaim it, by creating almost from scratch a downtown district that will attract both residents and businesses, through new developments designed around public transportation.
Can it work? Supporters of City Centre Warwick, as the effort is known, say it will. One of the biggest proponents, longtime Mayor Scott Avedisian, points to urban trends that show young Americans in particular are less wed to vehicles, and want options to live and work in city centers with ready access to mass transit.
They will get more for their money in the center of Warwick, which has rail connections to Providence and Boston, and an airport within steps, Avedisian argues. The city master plan that created the vision for City Centre Warwick proposes new buildings of four to five stories, without the expansive lawns of suburban developments, and pushed close together and near the street to create density.
