Pretty hard to miss this new construction site that has popped up on the corner of Currie Street and Bury Street...
For those that haven't heard all the buzz, the corner of Bury Street has been earmarked for a residential development for a little while now and it seems that the ball has just started rolling.
According to the developer's proposal, it’s a 160-room complex aimed at essential workers, singles, and people looking for a smaller footprint. The rooms are self-contained, with the building itself featuring shared spaces like a pool, gym, and co-working areas.
The developer’s argument is that putting 160 residents right in the middle of the CBD will mean more foot traffic, more money spent at local cafes, and more life injected into the town centre.
But I’m interested in what the locals think. 🤔
Will having a high-density complex right in the CBD be the boost our local businesses need, or is it the wrong fit for Nambour?
