One Ten Westminster was a proposed high-rise project in Providence, Rhode Island that was canceled in late 2007.

In early 2007, it was announced that One Ten Westminster would no longer be exclusively a condo property, but incorporate a W hotel. On October 26, 2007, it was announced that the proposal was scrapped, citing a soft housing market from the influx of new building.
