Four tenants have been confirmed for the new retail space on the site of the former AA building at 74 Victoria Avenue.
Wallace Development Company Project Co-ordinator Mike McKellow says the project is progressing well with four tenants signed up and other tenancies under discussion.
The development has six retail spaces. Tenants confirmed so far are clothing chain Cotton On, Backdoor Surf (a surf, skate and streetwear retailer), Shampoo Plus and Vivo Hair Salon. A cafe and bakery is also lined up to go into the development.
The main contractor for the building project is Whanganui company W&W Construction. The development incorporates the building's heritage facade with a modern retail space.
