Apartments to help rejuvenate struggling Lower Hutt CBD
The conversion of a former commercial building into 40 new apartments could be a much-needed shot in the arm for Lower Hutt’s struggling CBD.
Developer Kevin Melville said the $15 million project, alongside other apartment complexes, would establish a new inner-city community that would help drive business in the central city.
The units will be available in about 14 months.
Wellington developer Ian Cassels is also working on a major development nearby featuring a mix of apartments and retail.
Hutt City Council estimates 9606 new houses will be needed to be built in the city by 2047 to keep up with population growth.

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it.
