Jewett Construction Co. begins work on 1,800 s/f Sugar River Bank in Sunapee, NH

Sunapee, NH Construction is underway at Sugar River Bank. The 1,800 s/f renovation project is being managed by Raymond, NH based Jewett Construction Co. in partnership with the NES Group. This is the first Jewett project in this New England town which is home to Lake Sunapee.

This is not, however, the first bank that Jewett has constructed during a 45 year history in the industry. According to president Craig Jewett, “We’ve had the opportunity to build dozens of financial institutions over the years. It’s fantastic that even as modern banking evolves and changes, community lenders are still finding creative ways to maintain a need for brick and mortar banks and credit unions.”

Sugar River Bank has been offering citizens of New Hampshire the same local and personalized service since 1895. A true “hometown community bank,” Sugar River first opened their doors in Newport, NH and have grown to six locations, offering service to their customers.

The local branch’s renovations are designed to meet the expectations of banking in the 21st Century. Along with a complete cosmetic makeover including drywall, flooring and millwork. The building will be updated to meet codes, increase energy efficiency and improve the customer experience. This fast-paced project will be completed in time for the summer tourist season and is underway while the bank remains fully operational. 

Jewett is a family-owned design-build and construction management firm specializing in commercial projects throughout New England. In addition to Sugar River Bank, Jewett has completed work for Kennebunk Savings, Northeast Credit Union, St. Mary’s Bank, Lowell Five and more.
