Beam-Raising Marks Progress on 69-Unit Mixed-Use Building in White River Junction

September 10th, 2020 | By Kat Howland

(WHITE RIVER JUNCTION) – Jewett Construction marked a significant milestone last Thursday with a beam-raising ceremony celebrating the progress of a new 69-unit mixed-use residential building located on South Main Street.

The 43,600-square-foot project—designed by Studio Nexus Architects + Planners and constructed by Jewett Construction—blends modern design with historical inspiration from notable local architecture, including the Gates-Briggs Building and Railroad Row. The structure will feature retail space on the ground floor and studio residential units above, complete with brick and gray facades, large windows, and street-facing balconies.

“It’s wonderful what we’re doing here right now,” said Travis Parker, Project Manager at Jewett Construction. “This project is going to continue to bring life into the downtown district, and Jewett Construction is thrilled to be a part of it.”

The ceremony included participation from the community and construction team, many of whom signed the final steel beam before it was raised into place—symbolizing unity and progress.

Construction is on schedule, with project completion anticipated by mid-2021. The development is expected to invigorate downtown White River Junction by offering modern housing options and increasing foot traffic for local businesses.

Jewett Construction remains proud to play a role in revitalizing Vermont communities through quality, forward-thinking construction projects.
