Former superette premises for sale
A mixed-use property that for decades housed a landmark Mt Eden superette has been placed on the market for sale.
The two-storey freehold property that housed Eden Foods superette until recently at 444-446 Mt Eden Road has now been put up for sale for the first time in over 20 years.
In addition to the longstanding superette, the site contains an office, storage and three-bedroom residence above – with options for new owners to further capitalise on the property’s mixed-use potential.
The land and buildings at 444-446 Mt Eden Road are now being marketed for sale with vacant possession by way of a tender (unless sold prior) closing on 16 March through Bayleys Auckland City and Fringe team.
Salespeople Phil Haydock and James Were said the property consisted of two self-contained buildings with a total floor area of some 537 square metres on an approximately 420-square metre site with four secure car parks.
“The improvements are made up of a high-profile building of some 469 square metres fronting onto Mt Eden
Road, plus an approximately
67-square metre rear building,” said Mr Haydock.
“The front building has an A-grade Initial Evaluation Procedure seismic rating of 85 percent of new building standard, while the rear building is graded A+, with a rating exceeding
100 percent.”
The Mt Eden Road site is zoned Business – Local Centre under Auckland Council’s unitary plan – a zoning which generally applies to small centres served by good public transport.
Mr Were said this zoning was aimed at providing for the convenience needs of surrounding neighbourhoods.
“It supports a wide range of activities such as local retail, commercial services, offices, food and beverage and appropriately scaled supermarkets – and this flexibility is clearly evidenced by the vibrant mix of activities to be found in the Mt Eden village.
“The site’s zoning allows a maximum height of 13 metres, enabling residential use on upper floors. This presents buyers of the Mt Eden Road property with additional add-value.”
