More recently, two further business partners, local accountants Tim Jones and Aaron Robinson, have joined them. Alan doesn’t have to go far to keep an eye on the multi-million dollar development - he is managing director of Otorohonda just a couple of doors along Te Kanawa Street. That was another refurbishment, after he bought the site five years ago when it held a deserted supermarket. He has four motorcycle dealerships stretching from Otorohanga to Taihape and also two Stihl stores including the one next door to Otorohonda along with the neighbouring Subway. That gives the former farmer a good understanding of the market, and he is confident about the apartment complex, which he anticipates appealing to single professional people who want somewhere “nice and tasteful” to live without the hassle of gardening and maintenance. With two of the street-level apartments finished in late January, progress is well underway on the main two-storey complex, and the remaining apartments are set to be finished about May. He and his business partners have the advantage of starting with a solid structure, after the former hotel was originally completed in the late 1950s. “The builders are quite astounded at how true the building is, how well built it was.” The one-bedroom apartments, which range from about 55-60 square metres, are being developed as long-term rentals. Buckman sees a shortage of rental accommodation in both Te Kuiti and Te Awamutu. “Our housing is definitely cheaper than Te Awamutu, so there are a lot of people who live here and work there.” The nearby Waikeria prison development is likely to help drive demand. Buckman is pleased that they have been able to work with local contractors including builder Todd Ormsby on the multimillion dollar development which represents a major vote of confidence in the town’s future. “It is something that everybody thought needed to be done, but nobody did it.” Proud to be a supplier to the build of The Fat Kiwi Cafe - STYLE GUIDE - Ryan Rendall (Director) 021 244 2785 ryan@metalbuild.co.nz Engineering Solutions
