Do you know the history of this building?

Stark Property is putting a shine on a nearly 115-year-old building in Hamilton East but they’re also keeping a cherished festive tradition alive.

Matt Stark purchased 455 Grey St - a prominent heritage building at the corner of Grey and Clyde streets - in 2019 to ensure the entry point to Hills Village was “nice and sophisticated”.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
