New tenants are being sought for Stewart Dawsons after the jeweller vacated its namesake corner shop following the November earthquakes, Fairfax reported.
Stewart Dawsons left the building after the quake to move into a temporary space near Farmers, but a staff member told Fairfax that the jeweller would not be going back to its namesake corner.
Stewart Dawsons Corner, owned by Argosy Property, has been on the market for over a year with the firm seeking a buyer with commercial apartments in mind.
"It's been a really good asset," Argosy chief executive Peter Mence told property new site propbd.co.nz at the time. "The only thing now is, we can build 24 levels on top. You wouldn't build office, so an apartment tower is more likely."
The Stewart Dawsons Corner complex was erected for the jeweller in 1901 with the jeweller occupying the ground level retail space.
