Concentrating for the most part on development of the city’s CBD has occupied the last decade of Matt’s life. In the past, Stark Property has been behind such worthwhile projects such as Riverbank Lane, formally a long-empty arcade and the open-aired Amphitheatre Victoria on the River enabling the city to finally open up access to the wonderful natural resource flowing right behind the city’s main street. Reflecting on achievements to date, in the form of central city apartment blocks, shared working precincts and various commercial developments and redevelopments Matt says there are still plenty of opportunities presenting to transform the inner city. “We are currently working on two major developments just over the river in Hamilton East,” says Matt. MADE, located at 401 Grey Street will showcase an eclectic mix of Hamilton local businesses, including produce markets, eateries, specialised retail, commercial and light industrial spaces. Renowned ice cream manufacturer Duck Island will also have its new factory and head office situated at MADE. “There will be a strong focus on community engagement and connecting Grey Street and the CBD using river paths and surrounding streets.”
