"The ground floor is occupied by an experienced restaurant and bar operator, while the upper levels are leased to three quality office tenants. Investments in this prime CBD waterfront location rarely come available, especially with such a secure rent income and a brand new, high-specification building."
Colliers' Duncan Woodhouse says the property was developed by Strand Commercial Properties and built by local construction experts iLine Construction. It comprises a 985sq m office and retail complex on a 294sq m freehold site with Commercial zoning.
"Premium elements include floor to ceiling glass facades, a butterfly roof with 4m-high windows, a glass curtain wall to the lift lobbies, and redwood soffits and louvres," Woodhouse says.
"The development also makes the most of expansive views with 114sq m of large, sheltered decks over three levels."
The property earns combined net rent of $362,770 plus GST and outgoings, with lease terms of between six and 10 years.
The ground floor hospitality space is leased by Hereford and Farm Produce Limited, which also runs the popular Alimento Cafe on First Ave and the Elizabeth St Cafe. The 238sq m tenancy is split into two distinct offerings – Otto Eatery, and Oscar Restaurant and Wine Bar – which share a kitchen and facilities. Otto is among the only cafe establishments offering coffee during the day to service the large number of office staff in the area. The company is signed to a 10-year lease earning $110,670, with six rights of renewal of six years each.
