$10m project to convert Lower Hutt office building into apartments
Unused office space in Lower Hutt's lagging CBD is being used to fill a gap in the city’s desperately understocked housing market.
The three top floors of the CML building on Laings Rd will be refitted for 30 apartments in a $10 million project backed by developers John Feast and Ian Cassels.
Feast said he and Cassels bought the space about a year ago and believed much of the commercial space on the upper floors had been unused for several years.
With the conversion scheduled to be ready in 2022, extensive work including earthquake strengthening needed to take place.
