Real estate developer Buff Chace has been a pioneer in the reimagining of Providence, Rhode Island's Downcity neighborhood—the literal and metaphorical heart of the city—for over 20 years. In this book that's rich with character, he teams up with photographer Jim Hooper to celebrate and showcase those who have been instrumental in helping him revitalize the district.

About the Author

Buff Chace was raised in Providence until he went away to school in the 1960s. After moving back to town in 1985 with his wife, Johnnie, Buff established Cornish Associates, a real estate development company operating under the principles of The Congress of New Urbanism. Buff prefers the term “town builder” or “neighborhood builder” to developer when describing his profession. Buff lives on the East Side of Providence, and he is active in promoting preservation, smart growth, and a competitive 21st-centrury economy for Providence and the state of Rhode Island. Buff and Johnnie have four children and recently welcomed their first grandchild.
