East Providence, RI – Michael Integlia & Company recently announced the groundbreaking of University Orthopedics’ new home at Kettle Point in East Providence.
The 90,000sf medical center is one of the first buildings on the Kettle Point property.
Construction in progress
The firm teamed up with NEMD Architects, Inc. and DiPrete Engineering, who together completed the necessary permitting for the construction of the building. The site has been designed to accommodate the new four-story building, 395 parking spaces, drainage, and other infrastructure improvements.
EW Burman is the general contractor for the facility.
Located off Veterans Memorial Parkway and bordered by the East Bay Bike Path and the Providence River, the new-and-improved facility will allow University Orthopedics to provide the highest quality orthopedic care.
DiPrete Engineering has received all necessary project permits through the city of East Providence, the Waterfront District Commission, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, and the Coastal Resources Management Council.
Moving forward, a network of paths, parks, and a public parking area for the East Bay Bike Path will be provided for both Kettle Point residents and tenants.
Construction is expected to be complete by late 2017.
