What Types of Developments Could You Build Here?
There are many lots available in pastoral settings with woods and hills perfect for building a home. Lots with easy proximity to the downtown area with proper business zoning are also readily available.
Homes
Townhomes are always a popular building style here, and any location on the Merrimack River is likely to be another major selling point. Luxury finishes and open plans are welcome additions for buyers with any home you design.
White oak hardwood flooring is a popular feature sought after in many homes, and natural stone countertops add an extra touch of class to kitchens. Master baths with separate tubs and showers featuring designer tile are also in demand.
Oversized windows and high ceilings help emphasize the natural light that the house gets in many locations. Patio areas with a perfect sunset or other outdoor views will encourage people to make the most of the space.
Building beach houses is another way to take advantage of undeveloped space. One feature you may want to make the most of is designing homes, so panoramic water views are visible from most rooms.
Moorings for boats and outdoor decks will encourage everyone to get maximum use out of their space. Finished lower levels with game or media room possibilities and extra bunk rooms help make it easy to rent out such properties to vacation-goers.
Apartment Buildings
Many apartments in this area had their start as historic homes that the owner decided to convert. With this in mind and the demand there is for such apartments, you'll have a lot of inspiration to work with when designing apartment buildings.
Choosing a street that has a lot of shade trees will give the buildings an inviting feel. Italianate features will help provide a luxury feel, and placing one of these buildings close to the downtown area will maximize the building's overall appeal.
Commercial Investment Properties
Because of the town's status as a historic seaport, the tourism industry provides a lot of opportunities for commercial investment. Boat mooring is a major contributor to the local income level, and the location near more than one major highway also makes it a good choice for local product distribution.
Many office properties are renting for a minimum of $1,000 per month for units of around 900 square feet. Adding in a reception area is one way to increase the value for prospects. Choosing a location near downtown is a good way to help ensure your overall success.
Retail Space
Building close to the Harbor Walk Rail Trail is a good way to locate retailers who need a prime location. Situating the building close to one of four municipal parking lots available will help make the spot pay off in the long run.
Building a new retail space in an area where you can also include office space in the same development is also a great way to meet the needs of local retailers. Because you can market the space to more than one type of prospective tenant, you'll enjoy better chances of enjoying a good return for what you spend.
No matter which path you take with developments in this area, you'll be on the way to great results.
