311 Union Avenue, formerly a vacant 20,000 square foot supermarket, was redeveloped in 1994 into a freestanding 8,500 square foot Brooks Pharmacy. The property was purchased from the City of Laconia who originally acquired the property for the abutting High School.

Our proposal was selected over competing bids due to its unique plan for the site which included: subdividing the property, demolishing more than half of the existing structure, and filling the basement to create additional parking. With a completely renovated building and parking lot being occupied by a nationally recognized retailer, the concerns of the surrounding business community were completely satisfied. The city retained a portion of the land, obtained a new parking lot while simultaneously generating revenue from the sale and returning the nonperforming property to the tax rolls.
