Commercial
In 2021, 7% of commercial development by floor area in Hamilton occurred in the central city. However, these developments accounted for over a third of the total value of all commercial development in the city. Central city developments are increasingly likely to be multistorey and have mixed use including offices and apartments, which tend to be more expensive to build.
