37 Portsmouth Avenue - Stratham, N.H.

Stratham, NH Jewett Construction Company, Inc. has completed an extensive design-build renovation of the Exeter Subaru dealership at 37 Portsmouth Ave.

This challenging, 17,500 s/f renovation – which includes a 7,200 s/f addition for a showroom, office and service area – was designed to incorporate the town of Stratham’s stringent Gateway Zoning requirements. Aesthetic features added to lend the facility a more residential appearance include clapboard siding and asphalt shingles, gabled roof lines with dormers, and a cupola. 

Design of the facility also included the use of such environmentally friendly products as energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, as well as a specialized porous exterior pavement whose sublayers allow for slow filtration to the water table – thereby minimizing storm water runoff into the wetlands. All renovations were phased to ensure the fully operating facility experienced no disruption in its day-to-day business.
