CRANSTON, R.I. — The historic Garden City shopping center in Cranston will be renovated and expanded into a new 20,000-square-foot building. Owner Wilder Cos. says the multi-million dollar redevelopment will include breaking up retail spaces formerly held by larger tenants into mid-size and smaller specialty stores. Ann Taylor is among the new stores moving in, and Williams-Sonoma is expected to expand. Other current tenants have signed new multi-year leases including Starbucks and Hallmark. Construction is expected to begin this spring, and should be completed later this year.
