The New Plymouth mayor says there's mixed feelings in the community about a social housing development in the CBD despite a massive need for it.
The 45-unit apartment blocks are being developed for Kāinga Ora in partnership with the Soho Group. The site will have 18 dedicated carparks, and Kāinga Ora says it is looking at developing a playground on the shared greenspace too.
Construction is yet to start but the development is expected to be ready to move-in by mid-2023.
