River's Edge Apartments

This was a redevelopment project converting an abandoned warehouse site in downtown Laconia to a new 32-unit, 3-story apartment building. The property is unique because it has nearly 700 feet of frontage on the Winnipesaukee River and is located directly across from the historic City Hall. 

The project owner, Laconia Area Community Land Trust, along with the design team, worked in collaboration with the City of Laconia to incorporate a river walk along the entire frontage of the property as well as a streetscape beautification along Union Avenue, including sidewalks, street trees, tree grates, and green space. 

With the expansion of the riverwalk, the City believes that this project will have significant impact and will help encourage pedestrian traffic from the east side of the river to the west where the heart of downtown is located. It also begins the implementation of the City’s vision to beautify the Union Avenue corridor.

Northpoint was part of the design team from the conception of the project. We provided all components of the civil/site engineering design and administered the final permitting process through the Laconia Planning Board and NHDES.  We also provided construction administration and monitoring services throughout the duration of the project.
