JHR Development, LLC, with over 350,000 s/f of developed space in the region, was honored by the Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber of Commerce with their Business of the Year Award. The Chamber, which serves more than 600 area businesses in 16 communities, chose JHR based on rigorous criteria.
JHR became part of the local business landscape in 2007 as Brunswick, Maine's "real estate developer of choice" for Brunswick Station, a 5-acre, mixed-use development on Amtrak's Downeaster line. The multimodal project, adjacent to Bowdoin College, created momentum that has led JHR to develop the 52-room Brunswick Hotel & Tavern, a 200,000 s/f property that is home to Paradigm Windows and AdvancePierre Foods, and a 36,000 s/f renovation of a former naval commissary in Topsham recently sold to Wicked Joe Coffee.
Presently, JHR is building a medical center for Mid Coast Hospital in Bath, Maine. In Massa., JHR won an RFP bid to work with Northshore Education Consortium of Beverly to redevelop a 35,000 s/f school for children and adolescents with special needs. The school is slated to open this summer.
