Dacon completes 95,000 s/f warehouse/distribution center for Crate&Barrel and Sterling Movers in N.H.

Hudson, NH Dacon has completed a 95,000 s/f expansion of 36 Executive Dr. in response to market demand for warehouse and distribution space along the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border. The property is located near Rtes. 3 and 495 in Sagamore Industrial Park.

This expansion is now fully leased to Crate&Barrel which has earmarked this site as a customer pick-up center for northeast New England and Sterling Movers which will utilize the space for transitional warehousing of client goods. Both companies started as family-owned firms.

The merits of this project rested on flexibility and feasibility - crafting a space to be responsive to a variety of tenant needs, increasing leasing capacity by 50%, rapid timing and realistic cost. Design elements include a high bay, 32’ clear-height conventional structure with tilt-up concrete wall façade, high-performance storefront glazing systems, two entrances, 11 egresses, a truck court accommodating 21 simultaneously loading vehicles and dock levelers.

Dacon is a fully integrated design-build firm providing comprehensive facility development services addressing clients’ unique project requirements.

Crate&Barrel was founded in 1962 as Euromarket Designs Inc. after founders Gordan and Carole Segal were struck by the idea of bringing international home décor to the U.S. while on their European honeymoon. Fittingly, today over 2MM couples decorate their new homes using Crate&Barrel’s wedding registry. With a concerted focus on sustainability across its 100 locations, the firm employs responsibly sourced packaging, sustainable forestry practices and is 100% LED lit. Sterling Movers is a second-generation moving company founded in 1952 that provides end-to-end residential and commercial services for the healthcare, life science, technology, academic and manufacturing sectors. While they serve the New England region, their reach is national with services entailing moving, storage, specialty freight transportation, furniture installation and building decommissioning.

Ask the Electrician:  How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
