NOVA SCOTIA JUNCTION, AN ICONIC LANDMARK BUILDING IN WAIPU 

Originally built in 1924 and formerly operating as The National Bank, this impressive historic building sits on a high profile corner site in the centre of town.

Nova Scotia Junction will re-open as a vibrant hub supporting creative enterprise, innovative design, entrepreneurial business and contemporary cuisine.

The 1019m2 site includes an expansive outdoor deck and garden, with parking at the rear of the building.

Once completed it will contain

  • Hospitality (200m2) with 5 toilets, wine cellar and covered outdoor deck.

  • Commercial Retail, a highly sought after space (107m2), with separate entrance off Cove Road, incl toilets.

  • Commercial Retail (60m2) with separate entrance to Cove Road. This space (The Collective) would make an ideal contemporary brands boutique, Pilates/yoga studio or local producers market.

  • Four office suites occupying either ground and first floor (12m2, 18m2, 24m2, 35m2) including ensuite and adjacent bathroom options.

 
 
 
 

Our Input

We have been involved from the conception of the project, assisting the new owners with design, compliance and buildability issues, prior to the re-design and preconstruction cost evaluations, ensuring all aspects of the Heritage protected building are being looked after, then assisting with contractor and specialist selection process. 

Now well into the base build/early tenant construction phase, we are working closely with these and potential tenants to ensure their requirements are being met and ensuring all services are adequate for the multi-use space, whilst also working with main fitout contractors to establish a smooth transition from base build to fitout.

We are expecting some of the tenancy spaces to be completed by ourselves and occupied by mid-September with the whole building being fully tenanted and operational soon after,  stay tuned!!

Dave’s attention to detail and ability to handle with care are crucial to managing this quite unique and difficult heritage protected project.

 While completing the works, we found a rare bit of history etched into the concrete when it was poured - R Goodison 23/12/1936 (in the photos above)
