Portsmouth City Council has appointed Colliers’ licensed and leisure team to secure a new operator for the iconic 170m Spinnaker Tower.
The tower, which is located at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour provides panoramic views across the city, the Solent and over to the Isle of Wight.
Along with the tower’s three viewing decks, there is a kitchen and bar at the base of the tower with potential to develop above, and a café located on View Deck 2. The tower also operates as an events space.
Paul Bugeja, director in Colliers’ licensed and leisure team, said: “The Spinnaker Tower is not only an architectural icon, but also a proven visitor destination. We expect strong interest from a range of operators who will jump at the opportunity to reinvest and unlock the untapped potential to create a unique leisure destination within the south coast’s most recognisable landmark.”
Steve Pitt, leader of Portsmouth City Council, added: “The Spinnaker Tower is our city’s beacon, and we are looking to unlock the next chapter for this much‑loved landmark. Working with Colliers, we want a new operator who will invest, innovate and deliver an even better experience for residents and visitors.
“We’re opening the door to experienced leisure operators who can bring imagination and vision to one of the UK’s most recognisable waterfront attractions and take it to the next level. The right partner will not only help us grow Portsmouth’s thriving visitor economy but will also ensure it continues to be one of the country’s premier attractions for years to come.”
