Coldwell Banker Realty in Haverhill seeks to move into space at the new mixed-use complex called The Beck on Railroad Avenue if the city allows a modification to the property’s special permit.
Christine Soucy, managing broker for the office currently at 40 Kenoza Ave., said her company is excited for the move. “We plan a ribbon cutting and everything once we’ve moved,” Soucy said. “It will be awesome. It’s a great location for us.”
Soucy said her company does not have a move-in date because they are waiting on the city for permitting. Then, the space will have to be built out to Coldwell Banker’s specifications, she said.
In 2021, Developer Michael Procopio and the Procopio Company of Middleton bought the old Ornsteen Heel Factory property from the city for $1 million along with the old Skateland property and an abandoned gas station lot near the Sgt. Joseph. C. Comeau bridge. The Haverhill City Council issued a special permit with nine conditions a year later which allowed the construction of a five-story building with 290 apartments and 6,500 square feet of ground floor retail space including an area for a restaurant with outdoor seating overlooking the Merrimack River.
The complex includes parking for residents and retail tenants. At the city’s request, the company also developed a park which it then deeded to the city. First Nations Park is named in honor of the area’s early use by both indigenous and early English settlers as an industrial site.
However, all of the retail space is still vacant.
Once the Coldwell Banker office is vacated, Verani Realty, now located in the Consoli building at 297 S. Main St., in Bradford, will move into the Kenoza Avenue space, according to Robert Landry, a principal in Four Points Real Estate, which owns the building.
