Pullman developers eye another building
Hamilton developers of the $100 million five-star Pullman hotel development already on the go in the CBD say they’re now looking at a second big hotel project nearby.
The revelation comes from Sanjil Mistry and Pienaar Piso, who own the city’s current tallest building, the Mistry Centre in Ward St which towers over Centre Place.
It’s currently being transformed into a 191-bed Pullman hotel operation with beds over 12 floors, with several floors of office and retail space as well. Hotel opening is scheduled by the end of next year.
The revelation is the latest in what is rapidly becoming a hotel boom for the city.
Mistry’s and Piso’s comments on them looking at a second hotel came on Thursday in an interview arranged long before the announcement the same day that Auckland’s Templeton Group had gone unconditional on a deal with the city council.
