A housing development slated for Water Street in Keene has had a growth spurt.
Andover Consulting Group Inc., a real-estate investment company based in Bedford, was granted approval Monday by the Keene Zoning Board of Adjustment to construct a fourth story on its $9 million complex, to include 100 to 125 apartments for senior citizens.
Andover has contracts to buy three properties - 185, 193-195 and 197 Water St. - for the 110,000-square-foot project. It wants to raze all buildings there except for the Findings Inc. warehouse at 185 Water St., which it would renovate.
In February, the company got permission from the board to build three stories.

A $9 million housing development for the elderly planned for Water Street in Keene may grow to four stories high.
Andover Consulting Group Inc., a real-estate investment company based in Bedford, wants to build a 110,000-square-foot congregate care complex on what is now three properties: 185 Water St., a warehouse and parking lot for jewelry manufacturer Findings Inc.; 193-195, a privately owned apartment building; and 197, a privately owned warehouse.
In February, the Keene Zoning Board granted the company permission to build in the industrial zone and to construct a three-story structure. Now, the company is back with another request: to shrink the original plan’s footprint and add a fourth story. The board will take up the matter on Monday.
The changes are a result of ground work and flood studies completed after the February meeting, according to documents filed with the city’s code enforcement department.
