Residential Projects
River's Edge Apartments
Laconia, NH
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.

Plymouth Woods Apartments
Plymouth, NH
This 24-unit, workforce housing project was partially funded by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority and by the USDA Rural Development Program. Northpoint worked directly with the owner/developer and architect from the early stages of the project’s inception in 2009.

The project required Variances and Special Exceptions from the Plymouth Zoning Board of Adjustment that involved working with the local residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. Existing stormwater drainage problems in the area required a separate analysis and design to alleviate additional concerns of the neighbors. After a long design and permitting process that spanned two years, the project was approved in early 2011 and subsequently received federal funding for construction later that year.
Northpoint provided all components of the civil/site engineering design and administered the local and state permitting processes.

Residential Shoreland Projects
New Hampshire
Northpoint has assisted many waterfront homeowners on the Shoreland Permitting process through NHDES as well as through local municipalities. Often these projects involve small building additions, garages, septic replacements, decks or other incidental site work that rises to the level of needing this special permitting due to the proximity to the shoreline. Most projects require a Stormwater Management Plan to be prepared and implemented to ensure protection of the water body both during and after construction.
