Salem, MA New England developer, Nine Zero Washington, LLC is comprised of three partners, George Vernet, Kenneth Carpi and Thomas Carpi. The group had the opportunity to purchase and restore the property at 90 Washington St. They are no strangers to the town, all three have developed and managed commercial and residential investment property in town and the surrounding areas for the past 35 years. Vernet also owns the Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond, NH, which has quickly become one of New Hampshire’s most frequented and sought out dining experiences. Kenneth and Thomas Carpi have investments spanning the entire Eastern Coast of the United States and have concentrated a significant portion of their business in Salem. 

Jewett Construction has been contracted to perform a 24,000 s/f restoration and two-story addition to the property which will be the future location of the City of Salem Administrative offices (across the street from the existing Salem City Hall) with public meeting rooms. 

Craig Jewett, president of Jewett Construction, said, “Salem is a great, vibrant city with so much going on. We are privileged to have the opportunity to perform a historic renovation and create a new home for city of Salem employees.”

The project was designed by Winter Street Architects, and the design was created with a specific emphasis on preserving and restoring the historical features and character of the property. Construction is now underway and is expected to be completed during the upcoming winter. The neighboring businesses will remain open and operational throughout construction.
