The ground floor is leased by an auto repair shop while the first floor is divided into three residential apartments each having its own stairway entry and one used as a museum by the Bruce McLaren Trust.
"The one tenant, Kiwi Motors Ltd, pays a contract rental of $115,000 plus outgoings and GST on an eight year lease that commenced on June 1, 2012," Palmer says. "The first floor is sublet by Kiwi Motors.
The gross ground floor area of 262.13 sq m is subdivided to provide a small office with the balance of consisting of workshop space, a small toilet facility and tub. Excluding stairwells, the upper floor, is 243.56 sq m.
The building's construction is concrete column and beam framing, brick infill panels, with metal and timber frame window joinery - along with iron and tile roofing.
A feature of the property is its wide street frontage to Remuera Road of 19.44 metres. The site has an average depth of about 23 metres with only a slight contour gently falling from the high point on the Remuera Road frontage down to the rear far northern boundary.
"The property also has rear tenant parking and off-street customer parking on the forecourt," Palmer says.
At 594-604 Remuera Rd, the property for sale is a two level building over two titles with the original construction of two buildings on the site dating back to the mid 1940s.
"Situated on the corner of Remuera Rd and Upland Rd, the mixture of retail and office tenancies, benefit from a high exposure to both traffic and pedestrians," Hargrave says. Six retail tenants occupy the ground floor and a Ray White real estate agency leases most of the first floor which is also addressed as 2 Upland Rd.
