These properties will be sold, subject to certain deeds of lease, now only of short date, particulars of which will be given in future advertisements. In introducing this magnificent property, the Auctioneer deems it unnecessary to comment upon its commanding COMMERCIAL position ; but he may be permitted to point out a few incontrovertible facts, which in themselves prove the advantages to bo derived from an investment therein: — Ist. Its being situated in the very heart of' the city proper, where it is always difficult to obtain good building sites. . V 1 • 2nd. The enormous traffic now existing and daily increasing from the establishment of steam factories, foundries, corn and flour mills, &0., and other great producing works along the same line of street. 3rd. Its whole frontage being on the main outlet from Custom House-quay, the west end,. and Lamhton-quay in the most populous and: rapidly-rising parts of the city, extending to Newtown, and on to that fine and healthy suburb Kilbirnie. It is hardly necessary either to refer to what is no doubt generally known, that within the, past few weeks land in Manners-street ,not : built upon, and not so centrally situated, has' been let on building lease for,fourteen years at £5 per foot, thus representing a present free-' hold value of £IOO per foot, vyithout interest in the buddings erected. This will give some faint idea of the present value of land in this street. The fine and handsomely-finished building recently erected by the BANK OF NEW ZEALAND, sufficiently ’ indicates the vast importance attached to this street'for business sites, and as growing and becoming for all, time a solid basis and centre of operation. The erection in the same street of that massive and extensive structure TILE THEATRE, points to a day, not far distant, when it will be impossible to obtain oue foot of freehold in the vicinity, unless at a fabulous price.
