Route 79 Davol Street Opportunity

Major Mixed-Use Development Opportunity Along Fall River’s Waterfront

From Highway to Neighborhood: Reconnecting Fall River to its Waterfront

The Master Plan contemplates nine residential buildings ranging from five to twelve stories. Final development programs will ultimately depend on the selected developer’s objectives, market conditions, and regulatory review.

The Property is within a short walk of multiple major open-space amenities, including Bicentennial Park and City Pier (5 minutes), and Heritage State Park, Battleship Cove, and Olmsted-designed North Park (10 minutes).

Design guidelines have been developed to guide redevelopment along the Davol Street Corridor. Development of the Property creates a unique opportunity to create a new neighborhood reconnecting the city with its waterfront.

As MassDOT nears completion of the Route 79–Davol Street Corridor Improvements Project, the agency anticipates releasing procurement documents for the potential sale or lease of parcels formerly occupied by the highway for private redevelopment.

Interested parties are encouraged to register here to receive updates regarding the forthcoming procurement and related project information.
