The second floor is incorporated into the structure in what architects call “a building within a building” with exposed concrete and steel used in collaboration with floor to ceiling glass sections. Since 1928 Ebbett has been a household automotive name in the Waikato and the group now represents 20 brands across 17 dealerships throughout the North Island. For Ebbett Hamilton, leaving the city centre was not an easy decision as this is where they’ve served customers for the past 93 years. However, the automotive base in Te Rapa presented so many benefits to the team and the service they can provide, it could not be passed on. The Anglesea St site which has served us so well will be replaced by the exciting Union Square development, a marque office and retail site strategically located at the south-end of the city’s CBD. This unique lifestyle space will deliver a world-class commerce environment in the heart of the Waikato. Construction of the Union Square development is well under way with framing steel for the first of five buildings already erected and whilst we are sorry to finally be leaving our home of so many years we are very excited about the opportunity Union Square offers the city of Hamilton as its replacement. ebbetthamilton.co.nz
MARCH/APRIL VOLUME 29: ISSUE 3 2021 WWW.WBN.CO.NZ FACEBOOK.COM/WAIKATOBUSINESSNEWS Coming soon, Hamilton's northern gateway By RICHARD WALKER Perry Group are poised to press go on their flagship mixed-use Te Awa Lakes development in north Hamilton, with earthworks likely to start mid year. The 62 ha riverside site will be a highly visible city gateway for motorists arriving from the north along the expressway. Resource consents have been lodged with Hamilton City Council, with the response due by mid April. The master-planned development will feature residential, retail and tourism, including a water adventure park and river front amenity, transforming the former Perry sand quarry. The imminent green light comes after a four year process that included an abortive bid for special housing area status supported by council but knocked back by central government. When that happened, Perrys reverted to a private plan change, which was approved by commissioners in March 2020. Te Awa Lakes project CEO Richard Coventry, who is leading the development with development director Lale Ieremia, expects Schick Civil Construction to start earthworks in June, with house construction likely early in 2022. “It will be an exciting time to actually get something built on the land rather than being stuck in the planning process,” Coventry says.
