' ' In introducing this magnificent property, the Auctioneer deems it unnecessary to com? : raent upon its commanding COMMERCIAL position, but he may be permitted to point out a few incontrovertible facts which, in themselves, pyove the advantages to be derived from an investment therein : — Ist. Its. being situatod in the very heart of the city proper, where it is always difficult to obtain good building sites 2nd. The enormous traffic now existing and daily increasing from the establishment of steam factories, foundries, corn and flour milk, Sec, and othor great producing works along the same line of street. 3rd. Its whole frontage being on the main outlet from Custom House Quay, the west end and Lambton Quay to the most populous and rapidly rising parts of the city, extending to Newtown and on to that fine and hea. tinsuburb Kilbirnie. It is hardly necessary either to refer to what is no doubt generally known, that within the Sast few weeks land in Manners-street not uilt upon, and not so centrally situated, has been let on building lease for fourteen years at £5 per foot, thus representing a present freehold value of £100 per foot, without interest on the buildings erected. This wpl give come faint idea of the present value of land in this street. The fine and handsomely finished building recently erected by the BANK OF NEW ZEALAND to be opened in a few days, sufficiently indicates the vast importance attached to this street for business sites, and as growing i and becoming for all time a solid basis and centre of operation. The erection in tho i sarao street of that massive and extensive structure THE THEATRE ROYAL, points to a day not far- distant, when it will bo impossible to obtain one foot of Freehold in the vicinity unless at a fabulous price The ARCADE.— That extensive Block of | Building now being erected by Mr. F. JSitby i and immediately facing tho cantre ofjthe Gibson Estate, will of itself create an immense extra amount of traffic, and considerably en-* hance the value of all property contiguous thereto. .. , EINALLY, ;1 The vast importance of securing a part of this most valuable freehold property can hardly ba estimated in the growing prosperity of that magnificent future which awaits the capital of this rich and prosperous colony. Wellington must, from its geographical position, in a short time become the great emporium of commerce, not o&ly.far these islands, but also for those of the South Seas. , WEDNESDAY, 2Gth SEPTEMBER, „ Canterbury House, Molesworth-sttreet, ', Thorcdon.
