Nestled on the floors of Welly’s office towers, the coolest streets and laneways, is a very smart  office share business, Digital Nomad. A Shared office space offering, befitting a Koro lounge experience.We turned up, and were remotely let in by one of their managers.

This is a story about A leak, an inept council and a supply chain that is less of a chain and more of a slippery frayed rope.

Crucial feedback from prominent Wellingtonians and property Titan Ian Cassels, who at times takes the undeserved abuse for the streets problems, is that Courtney Place cannot deal with any more road closures or clipboard-carrying- LGWM consultants, slowly and un decisively deciding what to do with the street.Locals say it “just needs a pause”, a break, and it needs time to recover. Courtney place has its natural flow, has its own style, vibe and Courtney people that feed in and out of it, are naturally there.Some say it will recover over 2,3 + years naturally, like Cuba mall came of age,…

Surprisingly, their fastest performances were consistently observed in the early evening, around 5:12 pm.

We sat down literally with Emily Broadmore Writer mother and passionate Cuba st’er. If Emily had her way Cuba st would continue its rapid rise to heaven for hipsters, writers, and serious city people who love a great vibrant streetscape and an awesome mix of lifestyle, art, food, and entertainment. A street that has grown up with homelessness unlike Courtenay Place appears to think they are somehow above it and the homelessness should just “go away” and that will fix everything.
