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!

Can anyone confirm what’s going on the corner of Kennedy and Giles?

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.
