Fusion Commercial Properties have a request before the July PAC regarding the Higgins block. They're doing a 3m x 6m addition at the back of the building for an emergency staircase. The request is for aluminium cladding on the addition, but it looks like wood and closely matches the colour of the building.
It's good to see the redevelopment of this property going forward. But with so many people shifting from office jobs to working from home, I wonder if Fusion will now make the upper floors residential units instead of commercial space. It seems that because of the virus, the demand for office space would now be flat.
