PORTSMOUTH – Green & Company developers are proposing to build a 50-unit multi-family development off Lafayette Road.
The proposed development, if approved, will be located on a 45-acre site on the west side of Lafayette Road, according to documents filed on behalf of the development team at City Hall.
The site, which is located at 3400 Lafayette Road, will include community space and offer a mix of floor plans, along with garages, for what appear to be three-story townhouse condominiums proposed in 13 different buildings.

PORTSMOUTH Peverly Hill Road residents will soon get another opportunity to tell city officials whether they want a more ambitious sidewalk and shared use path project for their neighborhood, or if they only want a sidewalk.
The City Council voted 9-0 to hold another in-person public hearing so Peverly Hill Road residents can weigh in on three options being considered for the project.
City Councilor Cliff Lazenby, who made the motion to have the yet-to-be-scheduled public meeting, pointed to the benefit of allowing residents “to all come together” so they could “all have an opportunity to give input.”
That way, Lazenby said, city officials could “get an updated sense of how they (residents) feel about the project prior to the council figuring out a path forward.”
