URBAN REVITALIZATION:

The Pine Street Project

Working with Pawtucket Central Falls Development Corporation, Shri has redeveloped this blighted, historic property to create: a new home for Shri Studio, Service Corps and Bark in addition to commercial space for other social enterprises including a cafe owned and operated by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, affordable housing units and market-rate lofts.

TRANSFORMING PAWTUCKET:

Revitalizing Urban Landscape with Sustainable Design

Our vision for urban revitalization includes sustainable landscaping around our mill complex. We understand that Pawtucket's neglected past may have left behind some ecological and aesthetic scars, but we see this as an opportunity to restore its innate beauty in a meaningful way as we transform a once blighted neighborhood into a flourishing and sustainable hub that will evolve with each season, establishing a strong foundation for a brighter future.

Historial Preservation

Our skilled architectural team has restored many of the building's exterior features, from crown mouldings to stonework and masonry. With their meticulous attention to detail and expertise in historical preservation, our architect and contractors have brought back the original charm and elegance of the building's façade, allowing the building's grandeur to shine once again.

“I wanted to make a more permanent investment in the city,” said Shri owner Alison Bologna, also a Channel 10 personality. “I wanted space with meaning … in a section of the city where I could see economic growth on the horizon.”

PAWTUCKET – It’s an exciting time for Shri Yoga Studio in Pawtucket, which has moved to its new location at 390 Pine St. The property of 15,000 square feet has undergone some substantial changes since it was purchased by Shri founder and owner Alison Bologna in 2020 from Dave and Diane Sheilby at Tallman Enterprises/Stretch Products.

Shri Development Revitalizes The Commuter Rail Neighborhood
Shri Development Revitalizes The Commuter Rail Neighborhood

It started in 2010 when Alison Bologna, a Pawtucket resident and local news anchor at NBC 10, decided to open a yoga studio in one of our empty downtown storefronts. She named it “Shri Studio” with the intention of bringing light (the definition of “Shri” in Sanskrit) into the district by offering low cost and free yoga outreach classes to students who otherwise wouldn’t have access.
