The Empire at Broadway was a planned high-rise office tower in Providence, Rhode Island. The project was ultimately cancelled, though only after the demolition of the La Salle Square Public Safety Complex, which occupied the planned site.[1][2]

As planned, the project featured a 22 story office tower with a 522 space parking garage and 496,000 ft2 of retail space. If built, the structure would have stood as the 5th tallest in the city and state.[3]

After cancellation, the Procaccianti Group, the developer of the project, converted the site into surface parking.[2]
