Rare Freehold Landmark - Te Aro Corridor
Rarely does a landmark of this calibre come to market in the heart of the capital.
Built in 1906 to a design by noted architect W. Gray Young, the former Boys’ Institute Building stands as one of Te Aro’s most distinctive character assets and instantly recognisable on Arthur Street’s streetscape.
Set on a tightly-held 263sqm freehold site with a 250sqm building footprint across two levels, this City Centre-zoned property blends genuine architectural pedigree with real commercial versatility. The ground floor’s arched windows and brickwork facade open onto a double-height interior, while rear access from Kelvin Grove adds valuable flexibility for servicing and additional entry.
Recent consented alterations have added a contemporary steel staircase connecting both levels, executed to preserve the building’s heritage fabric.
With a City Centre Zone height allowance of 42.5m, walking distance to Wellington’s CBD, and few comparable assets ever coming to market, this is a genuine opportunity to secure a landmark with both story and substance.
