A tour of Dunedin waterfront landmark the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency building proved popular yesterday.

Building owner Russell Lund outlined his plans for the 142-year-old building in Thomas Burns St.

Ann Barsby, of the Southern Heritage Trust, said the project was ''inspirational in terms of Dunedin's future''.

Submissions on the consent for the redevelopment close on July 30.
