Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has completed the letting of Unit 500 at Dunsbury Park, a 33,205 sq ft Grade A warehouse on behalf of Portsmouth City Council with joint agents at Colliers. 

Unit 500 has been taken by Righton Blackburns, a leading UK stockholder and distributor of high-quality metals and plastics as part of the company’s expansion from Fareham, supported by Freeport incentives. 

This final speculative unit constructed by Portsmouth City Council follows successful lettings to Inchcape and Percussion Play. Righton Blackburns secures the space to accommodate growth and enhance operational efficiency.

Dunsbury Park is a 100-acre business and manufacturing park adjacent to the A3(M), already home to major occupiers including Fat Face, DPD, and Breeze Motor Group. The park continues to attract investment, with recent developments including a 120,000 sq ft high-tec facility for Bio-Pure. There is still ongoing demand for pre-let opportunities ranging from 40,000 to 200,000 sq ft marketed by LSH.

Dan Rawlings, Director at Lambert Smith Hampton, commented: "We are delighted to have reached full occupancy at Unit 500, bringing in a well-established business that will support local jobs and economic growth utilising the freeport benefits. The high-quality, Grade A, sustainable design delivered by Portsmouth City Council enabled us to secure two lettings during construction and quickly complete the final deal."

Cllr Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council, added: “It's great to see the growing business community at Dunsbury Park continuing to flourish.

"The products that Righton Blackburn supply are essential to the local supply chain for Portsmouth's aerospace and defence industries, so it's encouraging to see them expand their operations locally to take advantage of the Freeport incentives on offer.”

Lambert Smith Hampton acted on behalf of the landlord, Portsmouth City Council, in this transaction alongside joint agents at Colliers.
