Cooper These properties will be sold, subject to certain deeds of lease, now only of short date, particulars of which will be given in future advertisements. In introducing this magnificent property, the Auctioneer deems it unnecessary to comment upon its commanding COMAIERCIAL position, but he may be permitted to point out a few incontrovertible facts which, in themselves, prove the advantages to be derived from an investment therein : — Ist. Its being situated in the very heart of the city proper, where it is always difficult to obtain good building sites 2ud. The enormous traffic now existing and daily increasing from the establishment of steam factories, foundries, corn and flour mills, &c, and other 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 thy suburb Kilbirnie. It is hardly necessary either to refer fo what is no doubt generally known, that within the past few weeks land in Manncrs-strcot not built 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 will give <-omo 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 iv a few days, sufficiently indicates the vast importance attached to this street for business sites, and as growing and becoming for all time a solid basis ana centre of operation. The erection in tho same street of that massive and extensive structure THE THEATRE ROYAL, points to a day not far distant, when it will be 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. Siday and immediately facing the cantre of the Gibson Estate, will of itself creato an immense extra amount of traffic, and considerably enhance the value of all property contiguous thereto. FINALLY, The vast importance of securing a part of this most valuable freehold property can hardly be estimated in the growing prosperity of that magnificent future which awaits the capital of this rich ond prosperous colony. Wellington must, from its geographical position, in a short time become the great emporium of commerce, not only for these islands, but also for those of the South Seas.
