The two towers, which are 235 feet (72 m) and 213 ft (65 m) high, contain 193 luxury condominiums. The price range for units in the $100 million complex will start at $300,000 and top out at "more than $1 million." Waterplace is named for its location, abutting the Waterplace Park, which hosts Providence's popular Waterfire events. Private balconies and/or window views of Waterfire are expected to be a major selling point for the complex. Underground parking patrolled hourly. Waterplace is one of two recently completed luxury high-rise condominium complexes in downtown Providence, the other being The Residences at the Westin.

The buildings are officially the 7th and 12th-tallest buildings in Providence. The towers finished construction in mid-2008.
