GBU Realty is pleased to bring to the market 78 Selwyn Place, Nelson.

Standing proudly on the southern edge of Nelson's Cathedral precinct, 78 Selwyn Place is a substantial office building with a history that connects directly to the region's entrepreneurial spirit.

Designed by JASMaD (now JASMAX), one of New Zealand's most progressive architectural practices of the time, the building embodies the robust corporate modernism of the late 1970s. Completed in 1978 as the purpose-built national head office for Transport (Nelson) Ltd (TNL). TNL had grown out of the Newman family's transport businesses, which began in Nelson in 1879 with horse-drawn coaches and evolved into the iconic Newmans Coach Lines and freight operations.

Throughout its history, the building has been closely associated with professional and corporate tenants, including its current long-standing occupant Pitt & Moore, one of Nelson's oldest and most respected law firms. The WALT remaining is 5.6 years.

With a net lettable area of 1,120m² and generous 1918m2 site boasting ample on-site parking, the property combines scale, quality and a blue-chip location.

Beyond its practical strengths, 78 Selwyn Place carries with it a legacy of innovation, growth, and civic importance - a true cornerstone of Nelson's commercial landscape.

The property is being marketed through a private treaty campaign with a closing date of 10 October 2025. For all inquiries and inspections please contact the sole agents.
