Brighton's Hanningtons Estate wins green light

The 1.3 acre site is being transformed into an exciting new retail and leisure destination which will be completed next year.

GCW is handling lettings for the development which will see over 20 new retailers and food operators moving to the site which aims to become the hub for Brighton’s aspirational shopping. GCW initially advised on the purchase and was then retained to input on strategic leasing development.

“This is an exciting urban development in a big chunk of a major city. We are delighted to see our advice come to fruition and are looking forward to engaging with exciting brands to bring the development to life” says GCW director Simon Morris.

The project will create a new Lane which will be accessed via a new entrance from North Street as well as linking into the existing Lanes.

“We want to build further on Brighton’s reputation for individuality and diversity of culture, by bringing this approach into a vibrant retail and leisure destination. The vision is to blend a visually engaging scheme into the existing network of narrow alleyways, lanes, eclectic boutiques, restaurants, cafes and bars that already make Brighton so popular” says Andrew Foulds, Portfolio Director at Redevco.
