Washington Trust Lends on Food Hall in Former Providence Union Station

Washington Trust’s Commercial Banking Group recently provided $11 million in financing to Track 15 Operating, LLC for construction and equipment financing for Track 15, an 18,000-square-foot food hall located in the former Union Station, One Union Station, Providence, RI. 

Paying homage to the station’s history, Track 15 is the most recent “track” to be added to the 14 original railways that once existed in the terminal. The space features seven Rhode Island-based restaurateurs, each with a different concept. The space also includes a large central bar, a variety of seating for more than 300 patrons, an entertainment venue and a soon-to-open 10,000-square-foot plaza for outdoor seating and special events.

“Washington Trust is proud to provide financing to help our customers reimagine this historic space as an exciting destination-oriented dining experience like no other in Rhode Island,” said Edward O. “Ned” Handy III, Washington Trust’s chairman and CEO,
