North Branch Construction Breaks Ground on The Village on Technology Hill in Londonderry, NH
[Londonderry, NH] – North Branch Construction is excited to announce the start of construction on The Village on Technology Hill, a groundbreaking mixed-use development in Londonderry, New Hampshire. This project will bring together industrial, residential, a childcare center and a village store in a well-planned, sustainable community designed to support the region’s growing economy while providing a unique living experience for residents.
The Village on Technology Hill will be developed in three distinct zones, each catering to different needs and lifestyles. The industrial zone, located to the east, will include a 160,000 square foot building for Envision Technology, a 20,000 square foot building for OnPoint Systems, and a 5,000 square foot office building for the Solinsky Family Office and Family Foundation. An additional 60,000 square foot build-to-suit industrial building will also be constructed. The industrial zone will have another pad-ready site for a 12,000 square foot building, further enhancing the area's potential for future development.
West of the industrial area, separated by natural topography and landscaping, lies the residential zone. This area will feature 440 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across 9 residential buildings, as well as a central community building. The residential area will be arranged in a large oval around a vibrant village green, complete with a children’s playground, dog park, and picnic tables. A parcourse for walking/jogging and exercising will also be located in the wooded northwest area, offering residents a serene and active environment. All buildings within the development will be equipped with photovoltaic solar panels, helping to support the community’s energy needs and reinforcing the project’s commitment to sustainability.
To the north of the residential zone, The Village on Technology Hill will have its main entrance from Akira Way, where a general retail store will provide convenient access to everyday necessities like sundries, sandwiches, ice cream, and other items typically found in small village retail spaces. The entrance area will also feature a childcare facility, catering to both residents and employees in the surrounding area. Additionally, a covered bus stop will be located at the entrance, making public transportation options easily accessible.
One of the key features of the development is the connection between The Village on Technology Hill’s residential area and the entrance via a beautifully designed bridge. This bridge will allow for a pedestrian-friendly connection, ensuring that residents and visitors alike can easily access the heart of The Village on Technology Hill.
“We are proud to be part of such an exciting and forward-thinking project,” said Bruce Blazon, North Branch Construction General Manager and Principal. “The Village on Technology Hill will not only support local businesses and provide much-needed housing, but it will also foster a sense of community with its thoughtful design and a wide range of amenities. We look forward to working with Londonderry Holdings, LLC and all of the parties involved in bringing this vision to life. The Village on Technology Hill promises to be a model of modern, sustainable living and working, bringing jobs, housing, and conveniences to Londonderry and the greater Southern New Hampshire region.”
