Chapel View development coming into focus
If you haven’t been to Cranston recently, you might want to take a look at the evolving Chapel View development at the intersection of Route 2 and Sockanosset Cross Road. For the past few years, the hilltop site, just south of the Garden City Shopping Center and the flashy new Whole Foods, has been under construction by its owners, Carpionato Properties, as a high-end shopping and dining destination. In recent months, enough stores and restaurants have opened there to warrant a look around, although many holes remain to be filled. It’s an attractive-looking development, well laid out around several major buildings distinctively accented with stone, beige stucco, and glass. The development is named for a Medieval-looking stone chapel at its center, which is destined eventually to become a fancy restaurant.
