Description
In a city centre of 20,000+ apartments, fewer than five percent carry the character designation, and a three bedroom configuration is truly rare. This 127m² residence within the Soho Lofts represents a significant piece of Auckland’s cultural history. Originally the home of the iconic Lewis Eady music store and recording studios, this building was a magnet for the city’s top musicians for decades. What this means for you is an opportunity to own a home with a soul and architectural volume that modern developments simply cannot replicate.
Stepping into this New York-style apartment, you are immediately struck by the heritage features and generous proportions that define the Soho experience. The layout is expansive, making it equally suitable as a sophisticated full-time city residence or a high-end crash pad for those who value character.
The location on High Street is the most architecturally rich pocket of the CBD. You are just a short walk from the ferry terminal and surrounded by the city's finest boutiques. Strategically, the property is positioned just 150 metres from the new Te Waihorotiu Station. Furthermore, the development of the Victoria Street Linear Park adds a significant green-link benefit to your immediate neighbourhood, ensuring a high-amenity environment for years to come.
From an investment perspective, the Soho Lofts are high-performers. The combination of rare character appeal and exceptionally low Body Corporate fees means this property can achieve a yield significantly higher than typical character apartments of this size. This is a rare chance to secure a substantial footprint in one of Auckland's most storied buildings.
Note: 1. While some tenants and owners may use the flexi room as a bedroom, it is not legally consented to be one.
