Salem, NH Cornerstone Realty Capital arranged $37.7 million in financing for The Dolben Company, Inc.’s development of a 256-unit market rate apartment community. The apartment complex will consist of four residential buildings, a 5,500 s/f clubhouse, an outdoor swimming pool, grilling area, and play area. Each of the four residential buildings will have wood frames, pitched roofs, and a mix of synthetic stone and vinyl siding. There will be an elevator servicing each building. Inside the clubhouse will be an onsite leasing office, fitness room, business center, model unit, and recreation room for resident use. Unit finishes will include granite counters, kitchens with stainless steel front appliances, in-unit laundry, and a private balcony or patio. The unit mix will be a combination of studios, one-bedroom/one-bath units, and two-bedroom/two-bath units. Square footage will vary depending on the unit style ranging from a 567 s/f studio to a 1,088 s/f two-bedroom unit. There will be surface parking onsite with a ratio of 1.7 spaces per unit.

Located just over the New Hampshire border, the area possesses a good geographical location for residents. Boston is 32 miles south, Manchester is 23 miles northwest, and Nashua is 15 miles to the west. With I-93 running through town and I-495 to the southeast, residents have access to the aforementioned major metropolitan employment regions. 

This development is the beginning phase of a 170-acre residential and commercial community at Rockingham Park. The town is one the largest retail markets in the state and home to Canobie Lake Park and America’s Stonehenge.
