According to previously published reports, the property was purchased for $6.3 million from Walnut Hill Holdings LLC.

“As we embark on this new chapter for Walnut Hill Plaza, we recognize the deep historical significance this property holds within the Woonsocket community,” said Cris Crecelius, principal of Saletin Real Estate Group. “Our mission is to honor that legacy while reimagining the plaza’s potential as a modern, vibrant, and engaging retail and lifestyle destination.”

Working in collaboration with city officials and planners, Saletin’s vision for Walnut Hill Plaza includes attracting a diverse mix of retailers, services, and dining establishments while implementing property improvements and aesthetic upgrades to enhance the overall visitor experience.

With 40 years of experience in transforming retail spaces into thriving community hubs, Saletin is committed to reinvigorating this historic shopping destination and strengthening its role as a cornerstone of the local economy.
