Anna Greentree, owner Vetro Mediterranean Foods
122 ROSTREVOR STREET has been
reformed, polished, and transformed into
Hamilton’s newest and trendiest food shop:
Vetro Mediterranean Foods.
Under the experienced team at Foster
Maintain, this once tired and neglected
building is now an upmarket, architecturally
designed space with an industrial finish.
Foster Maintain was chosen for the project
partly due to a long-standing relationship
between the developer and the Foster Group.
“Bigger than that (relationship)” says the
developer, “is the quality of Foster’s work,
their reputation and their accountability. We
know they always deliver a good product.”
Owners of Vetro, Anna and Daryl Greentree
have worked closely with Foster Maintain
on the project, to ensure the new fitout met
their specific requirements as a specialty food
retail outlet.
The renovation was extensive with the entire
building gutted and reshaped. A new kitchen
and office area were added and the existing
concrete floors polished. Foster Engineering
made and installed the stunning new
architecturally designed black louver screen
façade, completing the shop front and entry.
“Fosters went above and beyond to give us
access to the building and work in with our
contractors. They literally accommodated
whatever we wanted while making sure we
did it right” she says.
“There were specific requirements I didn’t
realise we required! Fortunately, Fosters were
all over the legal requirements and consent
process. And they were very thorough in
getting the right information out of our
contractors.
“The shop is beautiful and matches what we
envisaged, for sure” Anna concludes. “I would
absolutely work with Fosters again; they
really know what they’re doing.”
