JLL Sales and Leasing Director Gary Hansen points out the enormous development opportunity in such a central location as a key upside for this property.

“Given resource consent has been granted, and the existing tenancy still has almost two years to run, there is plenty of time for the fast-acting buyer who secures 59-60 Kent Terrace to strategise their development to suit their long-term property objectives,” says Hansen. “The current tenant, trading as a Beaurepaires motor vehicle tyre repair centre, has been in the building since 2007 and gross annual rental sits at $143,550.46 + GST. After several rights of renewal, the final expiry is 31st January 2025.”

“Right in the centre of Mount Victoria, and opposite the longstanding motor vehicle trade hub on Kent Terrace and Cambridge Terrace, this property is in a sought-after, convenient location with plenty of nearby amenities including cafes, restaurants, offices, apartment blocks, and showrooms. Kent Terrace is also part of State Highway 1 and is a three-lane carriageway through Wellington that carries a large volume of traffic every day.”

Excellent access to nearby amenities in a developing suburb, a major drawcard for future residential occupiers, makes 59-60 Kent Terrace a unique development opportunity. The resource consent and reliable existing tenancy provides immediate upside, with room for even more in the long-term.
