Constructed in 1942, Prospect Heights is one of the nation’s public housing projects to qualify for Federal Historic Tax Credits after being placed on the National Register of Historic Places in December 2016.  Developed by Omni Development Corporation, Winn Development and the Pawtucket Housing Authority beginning in 2017. 292 units were rehabbed, and 20 new units of affordable housing were added.

Prospect Heights consists of 312 units, and it is the first RAD project in Rhode Island and the first RAD project nationwide to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The three-phase project included exterior restoration, energy-efficient updates to kitchens and bathrooms, and landscaping improvements that include a splash park for the residents.

In 2021 the property received the Historic Preservation Project Award presented by Preserve Rhode Island.
