Eyal Aharoni: property mogul says earthquake strengthening rule changes unlikely to slow down Wellington projects
Manage episode 509439482 series 2098282
A property mogul developing some of Wellington’s most infamous quake-prone sites has voiced support for recent Government changes, but says these won't slow down his large-scale projects.
Eyal Aharoni is currently working on reopening the long-closed Reading Cinema complex on Courtenay Place and the nearby Amora Hotel, which closed in 2019 and 2017 respectively because of earthquake damage.
Earlier this week, the Government confirmed it was watering down existing earthquake strengthening rules in a bid to balance safety and affordability.
Aharoni revealed why he's still determined to get these projects done.
