JUfJL arc favoured with instructions from the Wellington Harbour Board to offer on the above date lor perpetual lease— The whole of the Wellington Harbour Board’s Endowment oi City Lauds, so well well-known os the celebrated Grainger street and Courtenay place Block. This magnificent property is situated in the very core of the city, between Tory street (Extension) and Cambridge terrace, almost opposite the Te Aro Railway Station and the site of the new graving dock, having frontages to Courtenay place, Victoria street, Allen street, and Blair street. Each of these streets is not less than 66ft wide, formed and metalled, with sidewalks flagged and kerbed except on one or two short lengths which the Harbour Board guarantee to lay down and complete when buildings have been erected. The property is subdivided into twentyseven building sections having frontages to the streets named of from 31ft to 70ft by depths ranging up to Soft. The great difficulty which now exists of securing vacant land in the heart of the city for business purposes, has become a serious matter to many manufacturing and merchant; firms. The rapid development of the city means a larger demand upon its space for trade purposes, and this demand, with the limited quantity; of land available, cannot be fully satisfied.. The purchase by the Harbour Board of the largo area now known ns the Grainger street Block will therefore prove of enormous benefit to many commercial firms It enables permanent- business quarters in an exceptionally valuable quarter of the city to bo acquired on perpetual lease without any expenditure of capital. The first period of lease will be for twenty-one years, and this by renewal every fourteen years is made perpetual, the leaseholder retaining for himself the full benefit of the total value of all buildings erected by him. A special advantage is conferred upon the leaseholder by allowing him to renew without compelling him to submit his lease to auction. The Auctioneers urge upon every commercial bouse and manufacturing firm in ,the city to inspect these sections. It is anticipated that every section will be leased at the auction sale, atid those who miss the present opportunity of securing one or more business sites of this character will within a brief period deeply regret ther hesitancy and delay. Lithographic plans, copies of proposed lease, and full details of the property may be obtained on application to the Wellington Harbour Boaid or to tho Auo-1 tionccrs at their offices. iREEHOLD PROPERTIES FOR SALE ANDREW LUPP HAS FOR SALE— K'KjTV- ACRES about, improved, Sheep Farm; the products of this farm aro crossbred wool, realising top price; healthy lambs, large percentage fat sheep, corn, butter, fruit.
