Waterplace is the name of a high-rise residential condominium project in Providence, Rhode Island. The project completed construxtion in mid-2008, and was developed by Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation.

The two towers, which are convert|235|ft|m|0 and convert|213|ft|m|abbr=on 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.

By November 22, 2006, steel skeletons of both buildings had been completed up to the 17th floor.

On February 14, 2007, both towers reached their final heights, officially making them the 7th and 12th-tallest buildings in Providence. The towers finished construction in mid-2008.
