J&E Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, acting on behalf of John Morton Properties, has let a modern retail unit in a prominent location at 61 Fort Street in Ayr to Art of Acupuncture.

Situated on a busy roundabout at the junction of Fort Street and Sandgate in the heart of Ayr town centre, the 530 sq ft property achieved its
asking rental of £8500 pa over 21 years on a full repairing and insuring
lease.

Markus Kroner at J&E Shepherd said, "The letting of this prominent unit
for its asking rental provides welcome evidence of continued tenant demand
in the commercial property market in and around Ayr's town centre."

Art of Acupuncture specialises in muscular and skeletal problems,
digestive system disorders and dermatological problems.
