Modified Vision for Downtown Concord Building Now Includes Housing

A proposed multi-story building on South Main Street featuring a restaurant, two outdoor patios and event space could be downsized per the request of the developer who wants to replace three stories of office space with two floors of residential units.

The proposed project was conditionally approved by the Concord Planning Board in December with plans to begin construction in April.

However, the project is on hold pending the revamped plans which are up for review, where board members will be encouraged by city planning staff to grant the amendment.
