Kingston Commercial Developments

KingstonGuy 6 May 2012 6 May 2012 3

I’ve had a quick look through the thread’s but haven’t been able to find anything – Anyone got any knowledge on the work currently going on in the Kingston shopping precinct? They’ve ripped out all the shopfronts on the corner of Giles and Kennedy streets, and I think they are doing something on the corner of Giles and Jardine too – any ideas?

Also has anyone heard anything about what might happen with the old Cussacks Site?

Just interested!

No that is finished already.

Looks like a new shop is going in where the bookshop and real estate agents were.

I’m guessing a bar or cafe.
