Multi-property sale will include key village sites
A multimillion-dollar property portfolio of Devonport Village buildings is about to be put on the market. The seven buildings are owned by the Lakewood Trading Company, WJ Scott Holdings, and Hub Holidings. The first two companies were set up decades ago by former National MP and Stanley Point resident Jack Scott.
The companies are together the second largest property owners in Devonport after Peninsula Capital, which bought more than a dozen properties from Vista Linda in 2023. Tenants have been sent letters advising of the sale. The buildings include: • 9 and 11 Clarence St (Asahi, Liquorland, Village Chiropractic and the defunct Bike
and Beyond shop) • 15 Clarence St (Hammer Hardware) • 8 Victoria Rd (Yaza Gelato, Vondel and Devonport Dental) • 26 Victoria Rd (Paradox Books and Portofino) • 20 Wynyard St (Chiasso) • 22 Wynyard St (Firefly) To page 2
