Another mixed-use village is under consideration in Southeast New Hampshire. 

Developers Beth and Jerry Siragusa are proposing a roughly 202,000-square-foot project on a historic property they own at 45 and 49 South Main St. in Derry, next to an apartment complex they own. The site is home to a pair of historic houses and sits just to the west of the town’s downtown. 

The project, called Westbrook, would combine 26,000 square feet of office space, 35,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, a 7,000-squre-foot events center and a 39,000-square-foot, 75-key hotel with 95,000 square feet of housing on a roughly triangular site.  

The design, by well-known city planner and walkability advocate Jeff Speck, is centered around three pedestrian-oriented streets with closely packed, traditional New England style villages in a style reminiscent of downtown Portsmouth, and the plans appear to show connections to the Fairways apartments complex next door. 

The historic properties on the parcel would be preserved, according to a presentation the development team made to Derry officials on Aug. 5.
