Brooks Properties has become one of the largest commercial, industrial and development real-estate service providers in northern Mass. and southern N.H. With locations along I-93 in N.H. and Mass., Brooks has attracted many successful companies to the Merrimack Valley area. As owner and operator with over 1.5 million s/f of commercial real estate Brooks Props. has the ability to meet the needs of small businesses as well as large. Brooks is committed to developing properties that will enhance the communities in the Merrimack Valley and in southern N.H. by designing and constructing buildings for those seeking quality and convenience at a fair price. Two of our newest projects are on Keewaydin Dr. in Salem at Exit 2 off of I-93. Both of these sites are currently under construction and are for sale or for lease. Eleven Keewaydin Dr. which is already under construction, is set to be a 3 story, 36,000 s/f first class office/medical building. Twenty Three Keewaydin Dr. has just recently been conditionally approved for a single story 30,000 s/f first class flex building. Once completed the two structures will be in an elite class all on their own in a superior location within full view of I-93. In addition to the already approved construction sites, we are in the process of getting permits for two more which are also located on Keewaydin Dr. in Salem. The first of which is a two story 16,000 s/f office building and the other is a two story 8,000 s/f flex building. Both of these buildings are scheduled to be permitted by the end of the year. Another project that is under development is a 10 acre+/- lot on the corner of Emerson Ave., and Rte. 111 in Hampstead. This location is permitted for a 25,000 s/f, two story office/retail building. This site is available for sale or lease. Brooks Props. continues to move forward with new construction as well as acquisitions and with over 30 years experience in this field we set the pace for the competition. Brooks has been family owned and operated in the past, present and will continue to be so in the future. Julie Brooks is the marketing director for Brooks Properties, Salem, NH.
