Named Alternatives Around the Manners Street Centre

A council heritage page identifies the James Smith Building at the corner of Cuba and Manners Streets and says the former department store closed in 1993 and is now a retail centre (wellington.govt.nz). This places the shopping destination in the central-city street network, close to the Cuba Street and Manners Street corner.
The reopening report describes the James Smith car park as a long-closed facility returning to use, with 100 central-city car parks (thepost.co.nz). The building itself is a nine-storey car park at 150 Wakefield Street, according to the project description (miyamoto.co.nz).
