Develop spaces that will help us to prosper and grow
Council are involved in the following central city developments with a range of partners, but there are a number of other exciting developments underway.
242-266 Victoria Street development
This 2000m2 site sits directly next to the thriving Victoria on the River precinct, and is a key connection between the central city and the Waikato River. Hamilton City Council has signed a conditional agreement to sell properties at 242-254 Victoria Street. Council will retain the land and building at 260-266 Victoria Street, which will be developed into public space extending the footprint of VOTR.

We’re creating:
- - a high-quality, vibrant, multi-storey, mixed-use development connected to the riverside
- - hospitality and retail spaces that enable businesses to thrive
- - residences that offer modern apartment living with river and city outlooks
- - a commercially viable development that reflects market demand.
Waikato Regional Theatre
We’re proudly partnering with the Waikato Regional Property Trust to bring Hamilton a world class, multi-purpose performing arts centre.
The new theatre will be our ‘centre stage’, where we celebrate the spirit of human creativity, welcome the world's best live performance, tell our stories, and share our own particular sense of identity and community.
Located at the south end of Victoria Street and next to Embassy Park, the theatre will feature a 1300-seat auditorium with circle balconies and flexible staging. It will be able to host drama, kapa haka, orchestral concerts, rock, pop and rap gigs, musicals, ballet, opera and community ceremonies.
Eastbank
Waikato-based building company Engas Development is building Eastbank - 27 apartments on the corner of Anzac Parade, Memorial Drive and Puutikitiki Street – and we’re taking a one-off opportunity to create additional footpath width for the community.
Embassy Park
To support the development of the Waikato Regional Theatre, Embassy Park will be closed until the Theatre opens. We're taking this opportunity to redevelop the park so when it reopens visitors will be treated to a new-look.
