Churchill & Banks completes site work for 50,000 s/f Stop & Shop Supermarket ground lease
After 20 weeks of site work at the former Warwick Nurseries location on Warwick Ave., Churchill & Banks has completed site preparation and infrastructure installation on a 7.79 acre parcel for a new 50,000 s/f Stop & Shop Supermarket to be opened this year.
Site activities included demolition of existing structures, environmental and geotechnical remediation, installation of all new utilities and infrastructure, and construction of an 1,100 foot, 20 foot high retaining wall.
"We started working on this development for Super Stop & Shop in 2001. A decade later, through the most difficult economy since the great depression, we have finally persevered. Stop and Shop will open this summer and serve the only market in Rhode Island which they didn't have a presence," said Richard Baccari II, executive vice president of development Churchill & Banks
The new supermarket is the 26th venture during a 25 year relationship between Churchill & Banks, a real estate development, construction, and property management firm in Providence and The Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. of Quincy, Mass.
J. H. Lynch & Sons Inc. was the site contractor; site and civil engineering was performed by DiPrete Engineering Associates, Inc.; and construction financing was provided by Rockland Trust.
