Rare opportunity to acquire a fully entitled, site-plan approved commercial development parcel on one of southern New Hampshire's most active commercial corridors. 88 Route 125 in Kingston offers 4.92 acres of Commercial C-III zoned land with direct frontage on NH Route 125, Planning Board approval in hand, land cleared, and an approved 9,600 SF warehouse and office building plan ready to build.
The Entitlement
The Kingston Planning Board voted 4-0-0 to approve the site plan at their June 16, 2026 meeting following two public hearings and a site walk. This is a clean approval — the hard work is done. The Conditional Use Permit for commercial use within the Shoreland Protection District was granted, and a waiver from Section 904.6.D to permit a fence and arborvitae screening in lieu of a vegetative 50-foot buffer was approved unanimously. Ten standard administrative conditions remain prior to permit issuance, including driveway permits, fire department sign-off, stormwater documentation, and a construction restoration bond — all routine closes for a project at this stage.
The Site
The approved plan includes a 9,600 SF warehouse and office building (160' x 60'), conference rooms, 43 parking spaces including 2 accessible spaces, proposed septic system, stormwater infiltration basin, and full grading and utility plan prepared by Meisner Brem Corporation of Salem, NH. The site is cleared and ready for construction. Zoning is Commercial C-III with Aquifer Protection, Shoreland Protection, and Wetlands Conservation overlay districts. The property fronts directly on NH Route 125, a Class B state highway 100 feet wide, with approximately 181 feet of road frontage.
Total parcel area is 4.92 acres. The property is served by individual well and septic — no municipal utility dependency. Soils have been tested across four test pits. Wetlands have been formally delineated by Luke Hurley, CWS, using US Army Corps of Engineers criteria. A portion of the rear property adjoins Mill Pond and is subject to 100-foot wetland and 50-150 foot shoreland buffers, which have been accounted for in the approved site layout.
Income During Pre-Construction
An existing single-family residence on the property is currently tenant-occupied and generating rental income, providing a carrying cost offset during the buyer's pre-construction and permitting close-out period. The existing residential structure is included in the approved plan to be converted to commercial office use at buildout.
The Location
Kingston sits at the center of the Route 125 commercial corridor connecting Plaistow, Newton, Hampstead, and points north. The property is minutes from the NH/MA state line with convenient access to I-495, Route 101, and I-93. Route 125 serves a dense residential population across southern Rockingham County and carries strong commercial traffic year-round. Rockingham County is one of New Hampshire's strongest commercial real estate markets, driven by its no-income-tax environment, proximity to Massachusetts, and sustained population and business growth.
