Exceptional 5.5-Acre Development Opportunity | Western Cranston A rare 5.5-acre property along Hope Road in desirable Western Cranston, across from the John Chafee Athletic Complex. Featuring ~545 feet of road frontage and an existing three-bedroom residence, it offers flexibility for a private estate, single-family use, or residential development.
Substantial preliminary planning by DiPrete Engineering and Union Studio Architecture includes a boundary survey, wetlands delineation, infrastructure and stormwater planning, and reported municipal water/sewer will-serve letters. This work produced a conceptual 12-unit cottage community presented for pre-application review to the Cranston City Plan Commission.
The layout utilizes ~2.6 acres for development, preserving natural wetlands, mature trees, and historic stone walls. The proposal includes eight detached cottages and two duplexes in traditional New England architecture, ranging from 1,500 to 1,700 sq ft with first-floor primary suites, attached garages, and shared common space.
Engineering plans and architectural concepts are available for qualified buyers. The 12-unit concept has undergone pre-application review but has not received final development approval. All future uses, density, utility connections, and plans remain subject to buyer verification and regulatory approvals.
