A 25-story beacon of hope is soon to join the ranks of the hospo and retail businesses trying to bring life to the CBD.

The new hotel development from the Templeton Group will be a few shops down from Riverbank Lane on Victoria Street.

At around 100m high, it’ll be nearly twice the height of the Mistry building which is currently the tallest building in the CBD.

Riverbank Lane’s Kopi Cafe owner Dave Tourelle had a visit from the mayor and Templeton founder Nigel McKenna on Wednesday when they came for a coffee, and says he thinks McKenna will do a “really good job”.

Theatre façade gets the tick

Passersby on Hamilton’s Victoria Street got the first look at another section of the Regional Theatre’s new façade after scaffolding was removed on Wednesday.

The appearance of a fresh section of the restored plaster façade of the old hotel frontage is another visible milestone for locals and visitors in the ongoing construction of the 1300-seat theatre that promises to revolutionise entertainment in the city.

The decision to preserve the building’s neoclassical façade is getting the tick from people seeing it for the first time, who say it blends old and new.
