Upper Hutt City Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for short-term commercial opportunities at 821 Fergusson Drive.
Demolition work of the building, which was previously occupied by Ammu South Indian Restaurant, Make$ Cents and Longhorn Steak and Alehouse, was completed in June.
Council is seeking a temporary lease for the empty site for around three years.
While plans were initially made for a temporary greenspace with an unpaved walkway, Council’s Acting Director of Asset Management and Operations Gunther Wild says the site offers a great commercial opportunity.
“The site is in an excellent location and there’s plenty of foot traffic,” he says.
The land was originally bought by Council for the purpose of road realignment.
Wild says while road realignment is not immediately needed, it is expected to be required in the future.
