The Office sits at the heart of Circus Street, a new mixed-use neighbourhood that has been delivered by regeneration specialist U+I in a £130 million Public Private Partnership with Brighton & Hove Council.
Circus Street has also created a new cultural venue for South East Dance, cafés, restaurants, workshops, event spaces, public gardens, public artworks, and 142 new apartments and 450 student bedrooms.
Rob Sloper, Development Director at U+I, said: “Brighton has a well-established reputation as one of the UK’s best places to live and work, one of the ‘happiest’ places and one of the UK’s most entrepreneurial cities, but suffers from lack of new high quality office space. At Circus Street we’re addressing that and providing space to gather Brighton’s brightest businesses. The location and stunning, sustainable and healthy design make this a prime spot for forward thinking companies to call home. We are thrilled to welcome Hyve to Circus Street and excited about more innovative brands, retailers and hospitality businesses coming in to create a thriving and diverse neighbourhood in the heart of Brighton.”
