An artist's impression shows a view from the Ponsonby Rd-Hepburn St junction of the development of the old vinegar factory site in Williamson Ave.
Construction work has started on what was Auckland's biggest construction hole - the controversial Soho in the heart of Ponsonby, renamed by locals Sohole when it was a gaping chasm.
Adrian Walker, Progressive Enterprises' property general manager, released four images showing supermarket, office and apartment buildings which will rise on
the site between Williamson Ave, Crummer Rd and Pollen St on what was the DYC Vinegar site.
Progressive is expanding into selling part of its 1.3ha site for residential.
The wider $200 million scheme has been named Vinegar Lane. Ebert Construction was the main contractor appointed on the Cider Building which will have a 14,000sq m supermarket, speciality retail and office space on Williamson Ave.
"The Cider Building is central to the development. The building will consist of three levels of office space above the Countdown supermarket, which will also include 10 retail outlets fronting Williamson Ave and Pollen St. There will be five levels of car parking below the Cider Building, including 220 dedicated car parks for Countdown shoppers," Walker said.
