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 COMMERCIAL 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 2nd. 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 Irom Custom House Quay, tho 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 heaithy suburb Kilbirnie. It is hardly necossary either to refer to what is no doubt generally known, that withiu the past few weeks land in Manners-street not built upon, and not so centrally situated, has been let ou building lease for fourteen yeara at £5 per foot, thus representing a present freehold value of £100 per foot, without interest on 'the buildings erected. This will give como 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 and becoming for all time a solid basis and centre of operation. The erection iv 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. SidDy and immediately facing the ceutre of the Gibson Estate, will of itself create an immen c 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 growingn g 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 only for these islands, but also for those of the South Seas.
