LONDONDERRY – North Branch Construction recently announced that construction has begun on The Village on Technology Hill.

This project will bring together industrial, residential, a childcare center and a village store in a well-planned, sustainable community designed to support the region’s growing economy while providing a unique living experience for residents.

The village will be developed in three zones, each catering to different needs and lifestyles. The industrial zone, located to the east, will include a 160,000 square-foot building for Envision Technology, a 20,000 square-foot building for OnPoint Systems and a 5,000 square-foot office building for the Solinsky Family Office and Family Foundation. An additional 60,000 square-foot build-to-suit industrial building will also be constructed. The industrial zone will have another pad-ready site for a 12,000 square-foot building, further enhancing the area’s potential for future development.

West of the industrial area, separated by natural topography and landscaping, lies the residential zone. This area will feature 440 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across nine residential buildings, as well as a central community building. The residential area will be arranged in a large oval around a vibrant village green, complete with a children’s playground, dog park, and picnic tables. A parcourse for walking/jogging and exercising will also be located in the wooded northwest area, offering residents a serene and active environment. All buildings within the development will be equipped with photovoltaic solar panels, helping to support the community’s energy needs and reinforcing the project’s commitment to sustainability.

To the north of the residential zone, the village will have its main entrance from Akira Way, where a general retail store will provide convenient access to everyday necessities like sundries, sandwiches, ice cream, and other items typically found in small village retail spaces. The entrance area will also feature a childcare facility, catering to both residents and employees in the surrounding area. Additionally, a covered bus stop will be located at the entrance, making public transportation options easily accessible.

One of the key features of the development is the connection between the residential area and the entrance via a beautifully designed bridge. This bridge will allow for a pedestrian-friendly connection, ensuring that residents and visitors alike can easily access the heart of The village.

“We are proud to be part of such an exciting and forward-thinking project,” said Bruce Blazon, general manager and principal of North Branch Construction. “The Village on Technology Hill will not only support local businesses and provide much-needed housing, but it will also foster a sense of community with its thoughtful design and a wide range of amenities. We look forward to working with Londonderry Holdings, LLC and all of the parties involved in bringing this vision to life. The Village on Technology Hill promises to be a model of modern, sustainable living and working, bringing jobs, housing and conveniences to Londonderry and the greater Southern New Hampshire region.”
