Stiles Harold Williams - Mixed-Use Development - Hove & Brighton

Date: 08 Feb 2002

Sussex based development company, Cuckfield Group, has boosted its profile within the South East with the approval of its new development at Hove. The company has secured detailed planning permission for the £65 million City Park development adjacent to Hove Park.

Occupying a prestigious site, the approved development is mixed-use, comprising over 200,000 sq ft of premier office space, on-site/underground parking, residential housing and day nursery facilities. Completion of the office facility at City Park, which has been designed by award winning architects David Richmond and Partners, is expected in early 2003. Cuckfield Group intend to speculatively build some 80,000 sq ft straight away at City Park, making this the first speculative development of any substance in Brighton for over 10 years. Brighton-based Stiles Harold Williams has been appointed as joint letting agents for City Park with Knight Frank's London West End office.

Commenting on the company's successful planning application Cuckfield Group Chief Executive, Ron Persaud, says:

'We have spent the last 18 months compiling our proposals for Hove Park and are delighted that it has received planning permission. As a Sussex based company it is exciting for us to have this prestigious development project on our doorstep and I am confident that we will be able to expand our South East portfolio further in 2002.''

Cuckfield Group also recently acquired an eight-acre site at Fort Road, Littlehampton, West Sussex for the sum of £1.75 million. Plans for the Fort Road site include 145,000 sq ft of new BI, B2 and B8 industrial units together with freehold, leasehold and build options. Agents for the Littlehampton scheme are Stiles Harold Williams and Meyrick.
