“LRT Company is excited to expand into Rhode Island with our new senior housing project, which has been over three years in the making,” said Lawrence LaBonte, founder and CEO of LRT Company. “We are thankful to the city and state for working with us to earn entitlements for the project, and glad to be a part of the solution of limited housing supply available to mid- to low-market seniors. This is a large campus project that will have the high-end LRT Company amenities and units we plan for.
