Manchester, like other cities, is seeing offices converted to residential “given the lack of inventory in the current housing market,” Freymann says.
The academic sector work, from public K-12 to colleges and universities, also is strong, he says. Consigli is working at Dartmouth College, the University of New Hampshire and Phillips Exeter Academy. These institutions and others “have quite a bit more construction planned in the near future,” he adds.
Manchester, Concord and other communities also plan to build or expand K-12 schools to meet the growing needs of school districts and families, he says.
Manufacturing and advanced technology “have good activity and good future potential in this area,” Freymann says, while “larger health care construction has been quieter as of late. However, there are several health care projects in planning stages that we anticipate in 2025.”
Consigli is focusing on sustainable building practices and materials such as mass timber. “We’ll see more of that next year and beyond,” Freymann says.
