There is still no word on when construction work on the $40 million five-storey complex at the old market site in Nausori will begin.
It was initially said that construction work will start in December last year however no progress has been seen at the old market site as the old market structure is still standing.
When approached, Shop and Save Limited Managing Director, Babu Ratan Deo said they are still waiting for the lease.
Shop and Save Limited were awarded the tender early last year to carry out the redevelopment of the existing site.
Shop and Save Limited will also be subleasing the site for the next 50 years.
It was said that the complex will have hotel apartments, a cinema, conference rooms, supermarkets and 350 parking spaces.
We are trying to get a comment from the Minister for Local Government, Parveen Bala.
