Stark Property Developer Matt Stark told Stuff the changes are “setting the city up to fail and stopping us from progressing any upgrades on other streets throughout Hamilton”. “We’re trying to do things on a shoestring budget and deliver something that’s an embarrassment from a design perspective.” Stark Property has been developing buildings in the CBD since 2011, creating spaces and designs that add value to the city. MARK TAYLOR/STUFF Developer Matt Stark is concerned the changes to Ward St is taking four steps in the wrong direction. Creating cycleways and walkable cities is great, it’s the execution that’s the problem, he said.
