Property Highlights

Current redevelopment of the site includes: a multi-story senior housing building that is being developed by Southwestern Community Services; a four-story mixed use commmercial and residential condominium building that will house medical offices, commercial/retail space, and residential condominiums; and a 90 room Marriot Courtyard Hotel.

Former Use: Historical information indicates that the site was owned by the Cheshire Railroad as early as 1853 and subsequently owned by the Boston & Maine Railroad from the late 1800�s until 1988 when it was purchased by the City of Keene. The property was used as an active railroad right-of-way and switchyard until 1983, with railroad tracks, freight yards, and loading docks. Portions of the property had been used for loading and/or unloading petroleum products for the abutting Tide Water Oil Company.
