Union Square is Hamilton’s prestige office and retail development, located at the south-end of the city’s CBD. With a plan to combine retail, office and lifestyle space this is a world class development in the heart of Hamilton. Once fully developed the precinct will feature 30,000sqm of office space, approximately 18 retail outlets, and other mixed used activities including a wellness centre. Stage 1 is well underway and expected to be completed in 2021.

Multi-modal integration was key in this development, particularly with regards to making pedestrian access easy and attractive, providing for efficient site circulation, and also in providing shared open spaces to keep people within the site to patronize the cafes and create a vital and vibrant social space.

Stimulating architecture, landscaping, effective way finding and temporary events such as sculptures/art work and live exhibitions will ensure that Union Square is a destination as much as a pleasant place to walk through for the general public. The upgrade of Alexandra Street footpath and street environment will go a long way to enhancing pedestrian amenity and tying it seamlessly into the other city centre upgrades planned in the near future, including the Regional Theatre.

About the
Professional

Feathers Planning is a niche planning business with a focus on efficiently and successfully navigating the resource consent process. Our key focus is the expert preparation of resource consent applications and the acquisition of the subsequent approvals. This is the starting point in development projects these days - and often a necessary one in the road from going from concept to reality.

As part of this process, we work with your team of select industry professionals, as required for the particular project, to ensure technical reports are tailored towards your needs/projects, and undertake all of the liaison with the Council staff so that you don’t have to. We talk the same language as Council and therefore know the ways and means to alleviate their concerns, resolve issues and mitigate effects. Feathers Planning has a reputation of being adaptable, innovative and pragmatic problem solvers.

Basically, we take your project and manage it through the resource consent process giving our clients the best chance at success both in a timely and cost-effective manner.

At any one time we have a diverse portfolio of projects - residential, commercial, industrial, rural, heritage and community. These range in size and scope from adding a garage to a residential property to master planning exercises in Structure Plan areas.

Whilst being passionate about seeing our local region thrive and grow, we also work throughout New Zealand and as a result have developed solid relationships with varying Councils.

Whatever your project, whatever the size, Feathers Planning’s focus is to efficiently and successfully get your project over the line so you can move to the next phase in development.
