Exciting new tenants announced

The Municipal Building is set to re-open mid-way through this year, and when it does it will be home to some exciting new businesses alongside the relocated and revamped Hastings NZ i-Site and Visitor Information Centre.

Four tenants have been secured: Craft & Social, a new eatery and bar, Cellar 495 boutique wine cellar and bar, Long Island delicatessen and takeaway foods, and Ākina - a contemporary  dealer gallery.

They will join the Hastings i-Site that is moving from the corner of Heretaunga and Russell Streets, and will also incorporate the Toitoi ticketing box office.

These world-class businesses will help Hastings city centre become an even bigger ‘hot spot’, attracting locals and visitors alike.

• The Municipal Building has been closed since 2014, undergoing significant earthquake strengthening and restoration work. Undoubtedly one of Hastings’ most iconic buildings, the Municipal Building is a Category One Historic Building, and is the final piece of the overall Toitoi-Hawke’s Bay Arts and Events Centre project that began in 2016. It has included the covering of the atrium and a revamp of the Hawke’s Bay Opera House.
