Boasting stunning views of the Waitematā Harbour and Auckland’s CBD, a prominent North Shore function centre is being presented to the market for sale.
A fixture of the Northcote Point shoreline since it was constructed in the 1970s, the building, known as The Wharf, was stylishly refurbished in 2007, which also included the recladding of the exterior and installation of a new roof.
The landmark building has a striking design comprising two octagonal pods with a central core linking them together. The total floor area is 1,190sq m, which is complemented by 90sq m of balcony space.
Located on the south-eastern side of Little Shoal Bay and the end of Queen Street, the property sits by the Northcote Wharf, which affords access from the CBD by ferry. There is extensive diagonal car parking available on Queen Street providing further convenience for visitors.

The property sits on 1,886sq m of leasehold land that, including rights of renewal, is in place until 2054.
Roger Seavill, Manager of Special Projects at Colliers, has been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale or lease via deadline private treaty closing 5 April, unless sold prior.
The property has four unique venue spaces and has the capability to host banquet, theatre-style, or cocktail events with varying numbers depending on which room is utilised with a capacity of up to 300 people for cocktail and theatre events or 260 for banquets.
The Grand View is a circular room with unimpeded views of the harbour and surrounded by water.
In the Pearl Room, floor to ceiling windows give stunning views of the harbour, native trees, and coastline. The Pearl is an opulent open space with a very high ceiling situated on the eastern wing of the venue. The Pearl features exquisite custom designed woolen carpet, two giant designer Italian feature chandeliers, and its own deck.
The Pearl's exquisite bathrooms are custom designed in Onyx and walnut complete with luxurious Italian fittings and private sound system.
The Harbour Lounge is the heart of The Wharf and is a luxurious, warm, and inviting space with a 5m wide open fire, large gilded mirror, parquet floor, and an intricately designed ceiling.
The Harbour Lounge features views out each side of the venue with large sliding glass doors providing views over the harbour across to Auckland city.
The windows on either side of the open fire provide a view over the harbour and coastline, with dozens of iconic native Pohutukawa trees.
For a breath of fresh air, the Harbour Lounge opens onto the glorious Harbour Terrace. The Harbour Lounge also features an operable wall to provide flow and an open plan venue that connects with the Grand View room.
The Harbour Terrace features two separate access points for guest arrival and this space is one of Auckland's true gems. Situated over the harbour with unimpeded and expansive sea and coastal views, it is quite simply marvellous.
Seavill says the property’s reputation as an outstanding events venue will make this a highly desirable purchasing opportunity for prospective buyers.
“This is one of the most visually appealing events venues in the Auckland region that offers guests an unforgettable experience given the location and surrounds,” Seavill says.
“The highly functional venue can be configured in a range of different ways catering to the demands of an array of events from corporate retreats to weddings and everything else in between."
