A four-level Parnell office building with north-facing harbour views, 16 car parks and scope to add extra floors has come to market, giving buyers a rare chance to secure a stand-alone building in one of Auckland's oldest and most desirable suburbs.
27 Bath Street is a 1,049m² building on a 392m² freehold site. It offers three renovated office floors of around 343m² each, plus 16 secure car parks on the ground floor.
It is being marketed by Henry Thompson of Whillans Realty Group and is for sale by deadline private treaty, closing 4pm Tuesday 8 December 2026.
The building is fully leased, returning a net income of approximately $523,772 with vacant possession from 31 August 2027.

Thompson says the timing suits owner occupiers.
"A buyer can collect solid holding income while they plan their move, then take over the entire property in 2027.
"Finding a free-standing building in Parnell with harbour views and secure car parking is rare."
Built in 1972, the building was seismically strengthened to 80% of the new building standard in 2015/16, when a new lift and lift shaft were also installed.
Each floor has a north-facing balcony and plenty of natural light, with Levels 2 and 3 enjoying sweeping views across the Waitemata Harbour to Rangitoto Island.
Recent fit-outs include polished concrete floors, glass meeting rooms, new lighting and upgraded kitchens.
The site is zoned Business Town Centre, allowing a mix of residential and commercial uses.
Subject to council approval, the office floors could be converted into apartments that make the most of the harbour outlook and on-site parking.
"Recent apartment sales in the eastern suburbs have topped $40,000 per square metre," says Thompson, "showing what buyers will pay for this kind of outlook."
There may also be room to go up. A preliminary planning review by Mt Hobson Group indicates one or two additional levels may be possible, stepped back to sit below the Auckland War Memorial Museum viewshaft.
Thompson says the location is a big part of the appeal. The property is 400 metres from Parnell train station, with the City Rail Link putting Albert Street and Karangahape Road about 10 minutes away.
State Highway 16 is at the base of Parnell Rise and buses run along Parnell Road.
It is also in zone for Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar School.
"Several hundred million dollars of apartments, hotel and student accommodation has been completed or is underway within 300 metres, including York House, The Edition and a 964-bed student block on Stanley Street," he says.
