Designed by BuckleyGreyYeoman, Edward Street Quarter is
inspired by Brighton’s eclectic street scene and will introduce
a new high-quality public realm, with three new public spaces
created by renowned landscape designers Spacehub.
Mixed-use developer First Base and Patron Capital have announced
the appointment of Cushman & Wakefield, CF Commercial and
SHW as agents for the development.
Cushman & Wakefield and SHW have been appointed as office
agents for the scheme, which will deliver 110,000 sq ft of flexible
space for Brighton’s burgeoning media and creative sectors and
wider corporate community, making it the largest provision of
workspace to be delivered in the city since 1993.
SHW and CF Commercial will lead on the marketing of 39,000 sqft
targeting food and beverage, gyms, cinemas and retail units.
Edward Street Quarter will also comprise 168 new homes,
comprising a mix of private and affordable units to meet local
demand.
Demolition of AMEX House is complete, with construction set to
commence in summer 2019.
Steve Eccles, Project Director at First Base, commented: “The
growth of Brighton’s creative sector has been frustrated by a
shortage of quality workspace, so we anticipate strong demand
for the space we are delivering at Edward Street Quarter. We look
forward to working with our agents to create an exciting mix of
businesses, cafes and restaurants at this new neighbourhood in
central Brighton.”
Gavin Stewart, Executive Director, Brighton and Hove Economic
Partnership, said: “It’s no secret that Brighton and Hove is in
desperate need of additional housing as well as Grade A office
space to support many of the 16,000 businesses that exist in the
city. This development delivers just that along with a range of
additional enhancements that will support the local community to
the East of Brighton for generations to come.”.
