The title to the ground floor of an ‘iconic’ Wellington building that housed a Burger King store is up for sale.
The ornate building at 1/79 Manners Street was built about 1913 as the Bank of New Zealand’s Te Aro branch and operated as such for more than 70 years. It sits on the corner of Manners and Cuba Streets.
More recently it housed a Burger King store which closed in April when its lease expired. A number of the chain’s stores had been liquidated as a result of the coronavirus lockdown, Harcourts agent Paula Muollo said.
Upstairs there are 10 two-bedroom apartments and eight studios, but just the ground floor was being sold.
