Land Securities - Portsmouth, Gunwharf Quays

Date: 01 Oct 2009

Osprey London, GANT & Columbia Join Portsmouth Centre.

Portsmouth's designer outlet and leisure destination, Gunwharf Quays, is continuing to ride the recession with a host of premium brands joining the Centre.

Owned and managed by Land Securities, Gunwharf Quays welcomed the UK's first Superdry Outlet to its tenant line up in March this year, letting a 4,459 sq ft unit, along with Osprey London (1,447 sq ft) and Columbia (2,297 sq ft) joining the Centre over the summer. Daniel Footwear (1,160 sq ft) opened in late August and GANT (1,693 sq ft) is due to open its doors later this month.

In all instances Land Securities was advised by specialist retail lettings agencies twentyretail and Head Retail. GANT was represented by Stephen Kane & Co, and both the Superdry and Daniel Footwear deals were completed directly with the retailer.

Deepan Khiroya, Retail Portfolio Director for Land Securities, comments:

'The existing line up of brands and leisure experiences has made the Centre a hugely desirable location for premium names, and we are thrilled that Gunwharf Quays is operating in this climate with no gaps in its retail offering. The Centre boasts the enviable position of being fully let or under offer and where we have had vacancies, these have been primarily down to us taking units back to further improve the offer at Gunwharf Quays.'
