Property description
!!ON CONFIDENTIAL TENDER!!
9 Sectional Title Units | Prime Corner Location | Major Redevelopment Potential
Own the majority stake in Merlot Court, a landmark heritage building dating back to 1895, prominently positioned on the corner of Bain Street and Main Road — one of Wellington’s most sought-after and walkable areas.
Originally built as a boarding school and later a student residence, this character-filled property now offers a rare chance to control the future of an entire sectional title scheme.
LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS
• Walking distance to shops, cafés, gyms, and both malls
• Close to medical services and established retirement facilities
• Excellent visibility and access from Main Road
THE OPPORTUNITY
This sale includes 9 sectional Titles:
• 7 units sold from one entity.
• 1 unit sold by the Body Corporate (still to be registered and added to the Sectional Title scheme at own cost).
• 1 unit sold by a Third Party.
The sale of these 9 out of a total of 12 Units will give the purchaser majority control of the Body Corporate. (Note: Units can also be sold separately)
The building is structurally sound with a good roof and retains beautiful original features, but requires refurbishment — making it ideal for a value-add investor or developer.
