UNRIVALLED O'p PORTUNIT V OF ACQUIRING FREEHOLDS IN TRE HEART OF AUCKLAND. '.i ■:..; 1 GEO. W. BINNEY, FAVORED with instructions from Captain Henry Burton, will sell by auction, on the ground, on Wednesday, the Cth Octpber, at 12 o'clock, the following splendid properties : — ,' : Hobson akb. Cook-streets : • . 13 Building Allotments. Very Superior 12-roomed Dwelling1 - house, Coach-house, Stable, he, and Section on which same are. situate. Nelson-street : 7 Building Allotments. • This is a chance rarely to be met with for persons to acquire Freeholds in the City, so close to the main centres of population, with all the advantages of the suburbs. Among others which this propery posssesses are the following:— The constraction of the Graving Dock on the re claimed ground at the foot of HobFon-s(reet; the con tinuation of Custom-house-street to Nelson and Hob son-streets, the Whole to be properly graded. The Harbour Board reclamation in Freeman's TJay —all being now undertaken, and in course of comple tion, —alike.point to <he certainty of an increase in value of the properties immediately in the neig-hbonr iood of th^se improvements. While th 6 outlay of capital on other works for the benefit of thePortof Auckland must r*suit in making Hobson-street (from its superior elevation and improved gradient-) the principal outlet for the immense traffic to be created and sustained by really reproductive works Buch as the above have in other places proved themselves to be. | The propprty must in a few years, from its superior natural advantages, rival, if not excel, in value that of Queen-street, and the lucky possessor will then obtain annually a sum equivalent to the fee simple of to-day; and not least, the very liberal terms offered by the vendor enable the energetic pushing man of business, with limited CBpital, successfully to compete with others of larger means. To sum up, cts an investment ttds offers all the prize, •with none of the risks of mining speculation. • The Block is sub-divided, so as to give section holders the advantage of a double frontage wherever possible. Lithographic Plans of the property may be obtained at the offlee of the Auctioneer, where ap^an on a large scale is on view. Luncheon provided.
