DUNSTAN Thomas have taken a five-year lease on 2,465sq ft of air-conditioned office space at £18.25 per sq ft at Portsmouth's Gunwharf Quays.

"The development continues to attract quality occupiers from the office and retail/leisure sectors," said Colin Hearsum, asset manager for Gunwharf Quays.

"For the past 20 years, Dunstan Thomas has had a presence in the Portsmouth area," said company chairman, Chris Read.

"With a strong bluechip client base, we have been looking for a location that is spectacular, a place to welcome them, a place where it is nice to work.

"Gunwharf meets all of these requirements and offers so much more."

The award-winning mixed-use leisure scheme opened in 2001 and has consistently attracted a high level of interest from all types of office occupiers, including media, IT and financial Services. Ross Moyler, associate at agents, Vail Williams, said: "Gunwharf Quays is going from strength to strength and this letting demonstrates the demand for good quality offices."
