Rockingham Groundbreaking

Rockingham Groundbreaking

Raymond, NH – Jewett Automotive Design & Construction, a division of Raymond, NH-based Jewett Construction Company, Inc., has just broken ground on two new automobile dealerships for Rockingham Toyota and Rockingham Honda on Rt. 28 in Salem, NH.

Designed by the Curtis Architectural Group, the dual projects entail the construction of both a 33,000 sf Toyota dealership and a 26,000 sf Honda dealership to be located on the same lot, and scheduled to be completed in late fall, 2014.  The two facilities are being constructed simultaneously in order to bring them to completion within a tight timeframe—a challenge for both management and division coordination.

Work on the Toyota dealership involves the renovation of a former Ultimate electronics store into a state-of-the-art facility featuring a 13,000 sf showroom and 20,000 sf service garage.  The building will incorporate Toyota’s latest image upgrades, including specialized flooring, millwork, ACM, EIFS, and the large white Toyota portal structure.

The ground- up, new Honda dealership will feature a 10,000 sf showroom and 16,000 sf service garage with an open mezzanine for storage.  This building will incorporate Honda’s newest image upgrades, including flooring, millwork, ACM, EIFS, and the big blue Honda tower.
