272 Westminster Street

1,745 SF

Located on the ground floor of the historic Trayne Building, this 1,745 sf space has been beautifully renovated to welcome a retail or restaurant use. With new storefront allowing for ample natural light and visibility from Westminster St. the space is well poised for a shop, gallery, cafe, restaurant or bar. Tall ceilings, a new bathroom and many new windows are just a few of the recent upgrades to this unit.

The Trayne building is best known locally as the building where the Movies on the Block screen was located. The building was constructed for Alice and Elizabeth Trayne and Anne Hale, as an investment property for the three women and their heirs. In 1953 the Old Colony-Newport National Bank moved into the building performing a large renovation which removed the original two-floors of the front facade.

The renovation of the Trayne Building included an addition to the east side of the building, extending approximately 20 feet into Grant’s Block Park. The existing building and addition now will accommodate two restaurant spaces on the ground floor (one opening up onto a redesigned Grant’s Block Park) and 17 apartments on floors 2 through 5.

Rental rate available upon request.
