Been watching this Hamilton East site near the bridge?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A four-storey apartment block is coming to a prominent Hamilton East site with a history stretching back to pre-European settlement.

Number 1 Puutikitiki Street is across from a former Ngaati Parekiranga pā which was later the site of the first Waikato European settlement. The section itself was more recently the site of a 1920s house which often hosted Hamilton’s underground art scene.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
