About

LWCA

The Lang’s Wharf Townhouse Condominium Association (LWCA) was formed in 2016 to represent the four condo units comprising one of the two buildings within the historic F.E. Lang Blacksmith Shop historic renovation project.The renovation project itself was completed by the firm AECm. The Lang's Wharf residential units are ENERGY STAR Certified and surpass LEED Platinum standards.

In 2013 AECm acquired an abandoned urban property located in downtown Newmarket NH on the Lamprey River. The former F.E. Lang Blacksmith building (also previously known as Joyce's Kitchen) was vacated in 2008 and the neglected property became an urban blight. The property development consisted of two independent projects: the historic restoration of the F.E. Lang Blacksmith shop for mixed-use residential & commercial space, and Lang’s Wharf Townhouses, a four unit multi-family townhouse development.The F.E. Lang Blacksmith building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and lies within Newmarket, New Hampshire’s Historic District. This mixed-use restoration design was approved by the New Hampshire State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the U.S. National Park Service (Secretary of Interior Standards) which made it eligible for Federal Historic Tax Credits.The restoration of the F.E. Lang Blacksmith property included a historic architectural review of the building and an extensive archaeological site investigation in accordance with the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources standards. AECm was the developer for the project.The Lang's Wharf residential units are ENERGY STAR Certified and surpass LEED Platinum standards. Sustainable measures include:• High-Performance Envelopes
• Geothermal Heating and Cooling System
• Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems
• LED Lighting
• Materials Reclamation
• Wood Pellet Boiler System
• Web-Based HVAC Controls

Solar Photovoltaics

Solar + Batteries

15 Water Street is going solar! The first unit to come on line with Solar PV roof panels was Unit A which started in June 2019. The installation of 20 solar panels has resulted in a NetZero foot print for Unit A in the first month of operation! Unit D soon came online with another 20 solar panels that went live in May 2020. Unit D also maintains a full household battery backup system.

Rooftop solar panels helps make Lang's Wharf unit achieve near NetZero energy compliance.
