Roedel Companies & Riverbridge North, LLC Celebrate Groundbreaking
MassWorks Infrastructure Program & Riverbridge Mixed Use Village
MARLBOROUGH/BERLIN, MA - September 10, 2014 - New Hampshire based hotel owner/operators Roedel Companies, along with Riverbridge North, LLC have celebrated the groundbreaking of the MassWorks Infrastructure River Road West Project and the Riverbridge Mixed Use Village. The public infrastructure will support critical roadway and pedestrian improvements along River Road West, enabling the development of the Riverbridge Mixed Use Village to continue.
In 2013, the Executive Office of Housing & Economic Development (EOHED) awarded a $1.5 million dollar grant through the MassWorks Infrastructure Program. The MassWorks Infrastructure River Road West Project includes widening River Road West from 2 to 4 lanes and constructing a new roundabout approximately 1,000 feet south of the existing Berlin Rotary.
Located behind Solomon Pond Mall off of I-290, the Riverbridge Mixed Use Village will feature 205 condominiums/apartments. Approximately 66,000 square feet of the village will include neighborhood commercial establishments such as office and retail space, restaurants, a small market, and a pharmacy. To-date, Riverbridge North, LLC has built a 12,000 square foot daycare facility called the Growing Room and a large Shell gas station and convenience store that is owned by Noria Energy of Worcester.
“New housing is a cornerstone of a growing economy,” said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki. “The Riverbridge Village project is supporting that growth and providing the residents of Berlin a place to live, work and play. I look forward to our ongoing partnerships with these communities to promote continued growth in every region of the Commonwealth.”
A new Homewood Suites by Hilton will also be constructed as a joint venture between Riverbridge North, LLC and Roedel Companies. The 80,000 square foot 105-room hotel will have one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio suites, each containing a fully furnished kitchen and full sized refrigerator. The Homewood Suites by Hilton will offer free high speed internet access, a Business Center, workout facility and pool. A complimentary hot breakfast will be available to guests while dinner and drinks will be served every weeknight to hotel customers.
“We are proud to be part of a project that enhances the I-290 corridor and gives people the opportunity to live in the same community where they work, shop and dine,” stated David Roedel, Managing Member of Roedel Companies. “As part of the Riverbridge Mixed Use Village, the Homewood Suites by Hilton will offer business and leisure travelers accommodations for both short-term and long-term stays. The Hotel's suites will provide guests with the comforts of home in a space where they can work, relax and thrive while on the road. ”
