"This property is the complete package. The high-profile location, multiple income streams, excellent tenant covenant and lease terms are all top-notch.
"Additionally, this is a modern, low-maintenance building, with an A-grade 100 per cent seismic rating and a hint of rental upside."
The strength of the location is evidenced by the presence of an ANZ Bank branch and a McDonald's restaurant on the opposite corners, Walker says.
"Both sites are trumped by 2 Puketapu Rd, which faces north and east and gets all-day natural light," Walker says.
"The property comprises a modern two-storey commercial building on a 417sq m site with Suburban Commercial zoning.
"It is leased to four office tenants and a popular local cafe, giving a split-risk income flow. Several leases are notably under-rented, providing future upside to this passive investment property.
Walker says a tight supply of office space through upper-class Taradale will continue to apply pressure to the market's rental rates.
