A fully refurbished, city-fringe commercial property just 200 metres from Karangahape Road is now on the market, offering owner-occupiers and investors a premium foothold ahead of the next property upswing.

Positioned on a 225sqm freehold corner site, 27 Edinburgh Street, Auckland Central is a striking two-level standalone building totalling 388sqm of floor area. Transformed by the current owner as an add-value project, the property combines architectural finesse with flexible functionality in one of the city’s most dynamic growth locations.

The building’s clean contemporary façade opens to polished concrete floors and high-stud industrial styling. The ground level provides open-plan showroom or workspace areas with multiple entry points, including roller-door access for showroom, studio, or trade retail use. The north-facing upper level features expansive glazing, flooding the space with natural light and capturing views across Newton Gully.

Each floor is fully self-contained with quality kitchen and bathroom amenities, independent access, and clear branding opportunities — enabling a genuine dual-tenancy setup if desired. Four car parks are accessed off Edinburgh Street.

With dual access from both Edinburgh and Ophir Streets, the property enjoys superb connectivity to the CBD, Ponsonby, and motorway links, along with close proximity to the soon-to-open City Rail Link’s Mercury Lane and Beresford Square entrances.

Zoned Business – City Centre with a 15-metre height overlay (subject to council consents), the site offers both functional appeal and long-term potential for redevelopment.

James Were of Bayleys’ Metro team is marketing the property for sale by Deadline Private Treaty, closing 4:00pm, Tuesday 8 July, unless sold prior.

“This is a building with presence and polish,” says Were. “It’s been refitted with care and style, offering flexibility to occupy all or part, while the balance could be leased for supplementary income.

“Investors will see the split-risk, dual-income upside, and owner-occupiers have a chance to showcase their business in a modern, future-proofed premises with fantastic transport and amenity links.

“With regeneration accelerating around the CRL and K’Road, and several significant developments underway, this location is set to benefit from long-term capital growth and demand uplift.”

The surrounding neighbourhood features a mix of character and contemporary apartment and commercial buildings, with more projects planned — including James Kirkpatrick Group’s new mass timber office build at Gundry and Karangahape Road, just metres from the site.
