Wharf (Holdings) has secured DuPont China as its largest tenant for Tower Six at The Gateway in Tsim Sha Tsui, the last phase of the massive commercial development.
The chemical company will occupy the whole of the 26th and part of the 27th floors, taking 42,000 square feet of the building under a nine-year lease.
Doreen Lee, director and general manager of Wharf unit Harriman Leasing, said the 750,000 sq ft Tower Six was nearly 60 per cent occupied following the recent transactions.
Global entertainment firm EMI also has signed a lease for 10,000 sq ft on the 27th floor for the headquarters of its Asia-Pacific operations.
Relocating from the New World Centre, also in Tsim Sha Tsui, DuPont will use the office as one of its regional hubs, supporting and developing the company's Asia-Pacific and China operations.
Sources said the DuPont office was rented at more than HK$20 per square foot a month, with a rent-free period of about six months.
