develop a ‘centre of excellence’ 

for investing.”

great community profile” Stuart 

continues. “Being here will 

help us raise the flag for Craigs 

and show the Waikato the 

strength of our brand and our 

long-term commitment to the 

Hamilton CBD.”

north, Raglan to the west, Coromandel 

to the east and Taumarunui 

to the south. With

CBD. 

“We can clearly see the 

future of this precinct,” says 

Stuart, “and the future development 

of the south end of 

town as the new Waikato

people-focused experience that 

Fosters are creating, it makes 

for an attractive proposition 

for our business, our staff, and 

our clients.

the growing community at 

Union Square and look forward 

to welcoming clients and 

guests to our new premises
