KENNEBUNK

WELCOME TO KENNEBUNK

Tucked along the southern coast of Maine, Kennebunk is a vibrant community known for its historic charm, strong local economy, and scenic riverfront. While often overshadowed by its more tourist-oriented neighbor, Kennebunkport, Kennebunk boasts a rich industrial heritage and a thriving year-round population. With deep New England roots, Kennebunk has evolved into a dynamic hub for local business, creative enterprises, and community life.

The Lafayette Center legacy

The Lafayette Center sits at the heart of this historic town, a cornerstone of Kennebunk’s industrial past and entrepreneurial spirit. Originally built in the 19th century, the complex once operated as a bustling mill, home to skilled makers and manufacturers whose work helped power the local economy. For generations, it was more than just a workplace – it was a vital part of the town’s identity and a source of livelihood for countless families.

Over time, the building adapted with the changing needs of the community, transitioning from industrial use to a modern mixed-use complex. Today, it continues to serve Kennebunk as a center for innovation and commerce, housing renowned tenants like Tom’s of Maine and a diverse mix of businesses and organizations that carry forward the spirit of purpose and progress.

In 2025 we acquired the Lafayette Center in one of Kennebunk’s largest commercial real estate transactions to date. This investment reflects our deep belief in the future of the town and our commitment to supporting its economic and cultural vibrancy. We view this property not only as a sound asset, but as a responsibility – one we proudly embrace as stewards of its history.
