North Branch Construction begins work at Harvey Heights

Meredith, NH North Branch Construction began work conducting renovations at the Harvey Heights. Renovations to the existing 25-unit apartment complex include new kitchens, flooring, appliances, tubs, new bath fixtures, doors, electrical upgrades, attic insulation, a new sprinkler system and patching and painting. Two units will be converted to ADA compliant dwellings. In addition, the interior stairwells will be partially rebuilt to bring up to current building codes. Exterior work will include paving and sidewalks, new siding and insulation, new doors and windows, site utilities dumpster pads and enclosures, and a new water entrance for the sprinkler system.

While the property, owned and operated by Lakes Region Community Developers, will remain occupied throughout the duration of the renovations, blocks of four apartment units will be vacated on a rolling basis to complete the interior renovations. Stewart Associates Architects, LLC of Laconia, NH is the architectural design firm on the project.

“North Branch is very excited about this new project with Lakes Region Community Developers (LRCD) renovating the Harvey Heights property in Meredith. We completed renovations of their Ames Brook Apartments property in Ashland, NH in August of 2020. It was a very rewarding project for all involved and we fully expect this project to be just as successful and rewarding,” said a representative from North Branch.
