Salem, MA – Groom Construction’s newest project, a state-of-the-art office and retail space at 331 Lafayette Street, is well underway and is expected to be ready for occupancy late October 2017.

Ground was broken on the 24,000sf mixed-use building in December 2016.

The project was redesigned due to community requests following the initial meeting in August with Robert Burr, developer, and Peter Pitman, architect.

The updates to the development include a redesign to maintain the historical setting with brick and clapboard siding.

The first floor will be leased to retail businesses, and the second and third floors will be available office space.

Plans are to alleviate traffic congestion by improving access on West Avenue with a right-hand turn lane.
