Boutique Retail That Won’t Break the Bank

126 Wakefield Street, Te Aro, Wellington City

Formerly a banking chamber and once home to an iconic fashion showroom, these two unique ground-floor spaces offer bold architecture, serious street presence, and a rare chance to secure destination retail on a budget.

With soaring concrete ceilings (approx. 3.6m stud height), generous frontage, and architectural features that blend industrial edge with old-world charm, both spaces bring something distinctly different to the Wellington retail landscape.

Shop 1 (approx. 122.6sqm) adds a layer of mystery and security with a walk-in bank safe — a statement feature that could double as functional storage, a private consulting room, or a brand moment all its own.

Shop 2 (approx. 137.4sqm) is fronted by a striking steel-panel door and offers open-plan flexibility with changing booths already in place, heat pumps installed, and room to curate an experience that stops customers in their tracks.

Both spaces can be leased short or long term, making them ideal for established retailers, seasonal pop-ups, or creative ventures ready to leave a mark in a standout location.

If you're looking for a retail presence with history, volume, and serious visual impact — this is your chance.
