Upper Hutt City Council have issued Andy Bell, and Ganson Group, the property managers of The Mall, consent to demolish the Criddles Curtains building on Queen Street, which has been suffering from mould, plants growing through the floors, and weather-tightness issues. The building also includes the old Pet Centre, and what was United Video. The mall had applied for consent for demolition back in October, but the council wanted more information on the impact this would have on Monterey Cinemas which is next door.
The property managers have plans to build a 2,500 m2 retail building in the space between Logan Street and the back of Monterey Cinemas, and they are now arranging to lock in a date for the demolition to begin.
