For sale through Dave Fisher at auction at 11am on Wednesday, August 9, at Barfoot & Thompson North Shore Commercial's offices at 87 Hurstmere Rd, Takapuna, is a Business 2-zoned property at 200-204 Hinemoa St, Birkenhead, comprising four commercial and two residential tenancies generating net annual rent of $81,608. Fisher says the mostly block and brick plastered commercial building fronting Hinemoa St was probably built about 1920-30 but has been subject to a series of improvements.
"The roof of the building has all been replaced in the last two years and the balance of the exterior is to be repainted shortly.
"The property's location in the heart of Highbury next to Birkenhead Library makes it easy to find for the customers of the well established tenants. An alterations shop has been there over 13 years, the hairdresser over 25 years and the locksmith 30 years. The longevity of these businesses indicates how appealing the location is to the right tenants."
The property has a total land area of 1048sq m with nine unit titles.
Mayhew is also marketing for sale at the August 16 auction, with Bruce Jiao, Unit 8, at 100 Don McKinnon Drive, Albany. The total 485sq m of retail space is split into two tenancies occupied by nationally branded tenants Active Physio and North Shore Hospice.
"The property is part of the established Northridge Plaza Retail Centre in the heart of the Albany City Centre and opposite the Albany Westfield mall," Jiao says. "The complex was built by the Neil Property Group about 10 years ago and has low vacancy rates." The two tenancies have a combined rental of $151,000 per annum net.

Newton says the current vendor has undertaken a major refurbishment to the building's exterior including chemical wash, replastering blockwork and repainting of the exterior facade.
"The stairway from Lake Rd to the Como St retail tenancies has been reconfigured to provide better visibility and access, and the Como St retail frontage has been retiled. Additionally, the streetscape has been upgraded with new stainless steel and glass handrailing."
