The Village on Technology Hill: From Vision to Reality!

The Village on Technology Hill in Londonderry, New Hampshire, is continuing to take shape, with the first residents recently moving into the development’s apartment buildings. The progress was recently highlighted in a recent article by Manchester Ink Link.

TFMoran has been involved with the project, providing civil and structural engineering, site permitting, and construction administration services for the 110-acre planned unit development.

The project is designed as a vibrant mixed-use community featuring 440 apartments across nine residential buildings, along with industrial, retail, and community spaces. Residential amenities include a village green, playground, dog park, walking and jogging paths, and outdoor recreation areas.

The development presented a number of engineering challenges, including significant changes in elevation and varied site conditions. TFMoran worked with the project team to provide engineering solutions supporting the development of the residential, industrial, and retail areas.

With residents now moving into the first buildings, The Village on Technology Hill is beginning to become the mixed-use community that was envisioned, and TFMoran is proud to have played a role in bringing the project to life!

Celebrating with Our Team

The celebration continued back at TFMoran on Thursday, September 24, when both our Bedford and Portsmouth offices came together to recognize the people who made this achievement possible.

Employees at both offices were treated to a catered breakfast as a thank-you for their hard work, dedication, and participation in the employee engagement survey that helped TFMoran earn this recognition.

Our Bedford office enjoyed a breakfast from The Common Man Roadside, while our Portsmouth team celebrated with breakfast from The Works Café. Both offices had the chance to gather, enjoy some good food, and celebrate this accomplishment together.

Being named one of New Hampshire’s Best Companies to Work For is more than an award—it is a reflection of the people and culture that make TFMoran a great place to work. We are grateful to our entire team for their continued commitment to one another, our clients, and the communities we serve.

TFMoran is pleased to once again, sponsor Plan NH’s 2026 Annual Fall Conference, “Built to Belong: The Next Generation of Mixed-Use Neighborhood Developments,” and especially looks forward to having one of our own share his extensive experience and knowledge with fellow industry professionals.

Robert “Bob” Duval, PE, LEED AP, TFMoran’s Past President and current Director of Special Projects, will be a featured speaker at this year’s conference, bringing more than 46 years of experience in engineering, land development, and the built environment to the conversation.

Throughout his career with TFMoran, Bob has played an important role in the planning and development of projects that have helped shape communities throughout New Hampshire and New England. His experience spans decades of change in the engineering and development industries, giving him a unique perspective on how thoughtful planning, infrastructure, and design can contribute to stronger communities.

Bob’s participation in this year’s conference is a natural reflection of the work he has dedicated his career to. From large-scale mixed-use developments to complex land development projects, he has helped bring projects from concept to reality while considering not only how a site functions, but how it fits into and contributes to the surrounding community.

We are excited to have Bob represent TFMoran and share his perspective on the next generation of mixed-use development. His decades of experience provide valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities involved in creating places that are connected, functional, sustainable, and built to serve future generations.

TFMoran Celebrates Ribbon Cutting at The Village on Technology Hill

Despite rainy skies, excitement remained high as project partners, state officials, and community leaders gathered on Tuesday to celebrate the ribbon cutting for The Village on Technology Hill in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The milestone marks a significant step forward for one of the state’s largest mixed-use developments, bringing together residential, commercial, and industrial spaces designed to support New Hampshire’s growing workforce and economy.

TFMoran is proud to have provided civil and structural engineering services for this transformative 110-acre development, working alongside North Branch Construction, developer Ken and Grace Solinsky, and Stone River Architects to help bring the vision to life.

The ceremony featured remarks from several project partners and distinguished guests, including Governor Kelly Ayotte, U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, U.S. Representative Chris Pappas, and other state and local leaders. TFMoran’s newly appointed President and Chief Engineer, Nick Golon, PE, also addressed attendees, highlighting both the opportunities and engineering challenges presented by the site.

“This site is truly magnificent, spanning more than 110 acres with over 120 feet of elevation change,” Golon said. “It offers mountain views, and on a clear day— not today—and even a glimpse of the Boston skyline.“

Nick also spoke about the complexities of designing the project, noting the site’s steep slopes, extensive ledge, limited buildable shelf space, and surrounding wetlands. Through close collaboration with the project team, TFMoran developed engineering solutions that transformed the rugged terrain into a vibrant mixed-use community designed for generations to come.

Following the ribbon cutting, guests toured the newly completed apartment homes and commercial spaces while enjoying food trucks and local vendors stationed throughout the property. Although the weather was less than ideal, the rain did little to dampen the celebration as attendees experienced firsthand the scale and vision of the development.

The Village on Technology Hill will ultimately include 440 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across nine residential buildings centered around a three-acre village green featuring walking trails, a playground, dog park, and community gathering spaces. The mixed-use campus will also include industrial facilities, retail space, an Easterseals New Hampshire childcare center serving up to 200 children, and pedestrian-friendly connections designed to create a true live-work-play environment.

As one of the largest privately funded developments currently underway in New Hampshire, The Village on Technology Hill represents an exciting investment in the region’s future. TFMoran is honored to have played an integral role in the engineering and design of this landmark project and congratulates the entire project team on reaching this exciting milestone. We look forward to seeing the community continue to grow as additional phases are completed over the coming years!

Two TFMoran Projects Receive Plan NH Merit Award of Excellence

TFMoran is pleased to have been part of two award-winning project teams recognized by Plan NH for excellence in planning, design, and development across New Hampshire.

One of the honored projects was Apartments @ 249 Main in Nashua, where TFMoran provided civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services. Working alongside project owner and developer NeighborWorks Southern New Hampshire, architect John S. Jordan Design, and general contractor Hutter Construction, the team transformed a long-vacant downtown parcel into a vibrant mixed-income residential community.

The six-story development features 45 residential units, including 19 one-bedroom and 26 two-bedroom apartments. Designed to support smart-growth principles, the project revitalizes an underutilized site in the heart of downtown Nashua while providing much-needed housing within walking distance of local businesses, services, and public transportation. The development includes an outdoor courtyard, community room, management office, laundry facilities, and elevator access to all floors. Through long-term affordability restrictions, the project will continue to provide housing opportunities for generations to come.

TFMoran was also proud to contribute structural engineering services for the Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood. This 110,000-square-foot facility was designed by Warrenstreet Architects and constructed by Harvey Construction, with support from project partners including ReVision Energy, SRW Environmental Consulting, Coughlin Environmental Services, and Nobis Group.

Developed to consolidate multiple county departments into a single modern campus, the facility houses the Sheriff’s Department and Emergency Dispatch Headquarters, Department of Community Corrections, County Attorney’s Office, County Commissioners’ Offices, and the Registry of Deeds. The complex also includes a 131-seat multi-purpose auditorium, secure operational spaces, and infrastructure supporting a multi-megawatt solar energy system. TFMoran’s structural design incorporated steel framing, reinforced masonry shear walls, cold-formed metal framing, and special moment frames to support the building’s operational, security, and architectural requirements.

The Plan NH Merit Awards of Excellence recognize projects that demonstrate outstanding planning, design, collaboration, and community impact. The awards celebrate developments that enhance New Hampshire’s built environment through smart growth, livability, environmental stewardship, and innovative partnerships. This past Thursday, June 18th, Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon and Marketing Coordinator, Nicole Arsenualt attended the award night at Arts Alley, in Concord, NH to receive the awards on behalf of the firm.

Founded in 1989, Plan NH is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering excellence in planning, design, and development throughout New Hampshire. Through education, collaboration, and advocacy, the organization works to create vibrant, sustainable communities that balance the needs of people, place, and the environment.
