Office Today, Penthouse Tomorrow!
Few properties in Auckland can genuinely offer this: a full-floor, top-level position on Queen Street with confirmed Body Corporate approval for residential use — and the bones to make a world-class penthouse a reality.
This is a rare convergence of location, height, light, and flexibility that simply doesn't come to market often.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Occupying the entire 14th floor of 175 Queen Street this 228 sqm full-floorplate property sits at the top of a well-maintained 15-level building with three lifts and a seismic rating of 119% NBS, meaning it exceeds New Zealand's New Building Standard for earthquake resilience by a meaningful margin.
The Body Corporate rules have been updated to permit residential use on Level 14 specifically, and Resource Consent for residential conversion of levels two through fourteen was granted in 2022.
IMMEDIATE UTILITY + LONG-TERM FLEXIBILITY
The space is currently fitted out to a high specification as a commercial office — four partitioned offices, a reception area with stone bench workspace, a full kitchen and breakout space, and two bathrooms. Move in and operate from day one, with an option to retain the existing furniture.
When the time is right, the flexible layout and generous floorplate open up several compelling configurations:
- A single grand penthouse — a full-floor residence unlike anything else in the CBD
- Two separate high-end apartments — capitalising on inner-city residential demand
- A dual-tenancy commercial arrangement — two distinct office suites for maximum rental yield
- A mixed-use split — live on one side, work or lease the other
THE SETTING:
Full-height glazing wraps the entire floor, delivering unobstructed views across the inner city from every aspect. Natural light floods the space throughout the day. Below, the city's best is on the doorstep: Britomart, the Viaduct Harbour, SkyCity, and the new City Rail Link are all moments away, with Queen Street's full range of dining, retail, and transport connections immediately accessible.
One secure basement car park is included.
