Modification of module template file

In this case we have to modify module template file named blockcontactinfos.tpl. So, please open this module file (if exists, open file from themes directory themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockcontactinfos/blockcontactinfos.tpl) and instead of original (default) code:

<i class="icon-map-marker"></i>{$blockcontactinfos_company|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{if $blockcontactinfos_address != ''}, {$blockcontactinfos_address|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}

use this one:

<i class="icon-map-marker"></i>{$blockcontactinfos_company|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{if $blockcontactinfos_address != ''}, <br />{$blockcontactinfos_address|nl2br}{/if}

And that's all, your block contact informations will add line breaks exactly as you've got defined in back office:
