Bexhill Enterprise Park

We’re creating the Bexhill Enterprise Park in stages, with our attention first on Bexhill Enterprise Park South – the area southeast of Combe Valley Way.  In 2020, we completed development of the 25,674 sq ft High Weald House – letting now.  A contemporary, light-filled, energy-efficient (EPC rating: A(21)) building with ample on-site parking.

High Weald House stands next to Glovers House, the first property we developed on the Enterprise Park. A high-quality property also around 25,000 sq ft, Glovers House was fully let on completion in December 2015 to expanding company Park Holidays UK.

In addition, we have sites available which can accommodate up to 220,000 sq ft of mixed-use premises. And we can accommodate more than 300,000 sq ft of industrial premises on Bexhill Enterprise Park North on the northern side of Combe Valley Way.

In terms of connecting roads, we’ve developed Mount View Street to access the Enterprise Park from both Combe Valley Way and, from the south, from Bexhill’s Wrestwood Road.

To the north-west of Combe Valley Way, we’ve developed Haven Brook Avenue, which opened in March 2019, to open up further development land as well as improving local traffic routes.

The Innovation Centre – St Leonards

The Innovation Centre offers affordable, high-quality office and workshop space for expanding small companies.  It provides a dynamic business environment with units from 150 to 600 sq ft, supporting  growth whether you’re a single entrepreneur or a bigger firm.

Each space is ready to move into with high-speed broadband Internet and phones.

The Centre has on-site parking, meeting rooms for tenant companies, a staffed reception, an attractive relaxation area and outside gardens.  It’s conveniently located on the Churchfields Industrial Estate on the north-west outskirts of Hastings, three miles from the town centre, mainline rail station and seafront, and just a mile from the A21 to London.

Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne

We developed the Sovereign Harbour Innovation Park on a 5.5 acre site three miles from Eastbourne town centre, within five minutes’ walk of the waterside cafes, restaurants, bars and boutiques of northern Europe’s largest marina complex.

We designed the Innovation Park to provide high-quality premises and sites to enable companies to expand and generate jobs, providing an economic boost to this part of the county. The scheme included Pacific House (pictured), a contemporary, 25,235 sq ft, low-energy business centre – capable of supporting up to 299 jobs – which we completed in July 2015.

Pacific House attracted a wide range of small, medium and large companies and became a thriving business centre that reached 95% occupancy. We built a site road and installed services to make additional sites available on the Innovation Park which can accommodate a considerable amount of further floor space.

We also built the Sovereign Harbour Community Centre there for Eastbourne Borough Council.

This 7,800 sq ft building features three multi-use rooms, with kitchen facilities, capable of accommodating up to 325 people. It hosts a range of community events and played a vital role as an NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre for two years during the pandemic.

Transfer of ownership: In September 2024, we transferred ownership of the Sovereign Harbour Innovation Park, including Pacific House, to Eastbourne Borough Council and East Sussex County Council in line with the funding agreement for its development.

North Queensway Innovation Park, Hastings

We prepared an approx. 12-acre site St Leonards – the largest in the area designated for business use – to create the North Queensway Innovation Park.

The Park is surrounded by attractive woodland, next to a thriving manufacturing zone, close to the A21 to London and just four miles from Hastings town centre and seafront.

We cleared the site, developed a new road junction and entrance from Queensway and created part of a site road within the Park.  We are now reviewing our options for the future of this site and deciding on the next best steps.

Priory Quarter business district, Hastings

Priory Quarter is Hastings’ town centre business district. Approximately 150,000 sq ft of new premises have been developed so far – plus the Priory Square public space.

The 46,000 sq ft One Priory Square offices have been purchased by Saga for its insurance operation.

The Havelock Place building stands next to One Priory Square and also provides high-quality, contemporary offices. The Government’s Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) has leased the building, along with the adjoining Lacuna Place offices, and is set to bring hundreds of workers into Hastings town centre.

Marina Pavilion, Hastings/St Leonards

Our Marina Pavilion property on St Leonards seafront is a striking, two-storey property opposite the Royal Victoria Hotel – with panoramic views over the beach and English Channel.  The lower section was built in the 1930s and the upper part was added in recent years as part of the local regeneration programme. It incorporates two large, flexible trading areas, an extensive beach-facing balcony and is suitable for a wide range of uses.

The previous operator has left and the property went back onto the market.

We have invited proposals from interested organisations so we can bring this popular venue back into use as soon as possible and are assessing the responses.

The Sussex Exchange, Hastings/St Leonards

It’s 3.5 miles from Hastings town centre on the main Queensway road, near the junction with the new Combe Valley Way which connects Hastings to Bexhill and, beyond that, Eastbourne and Brighton.

It’s close to several business estates and residential areas and has formerly attracted both business and leisure customers. Two-storey mixed-use hospitality venue on a 1.6-acre site in St Leonards with 67 parking spaces & stunning woodland views.

The Sussex Exchange is a striking, 9,046 sq ft (840.5 sq m) mixed-use hospitality facility in a scenic countryside setting in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex. We opened it in 2012 as a restaurant, bar, conference centre and small cinema, and it has also since incorporated a nightclub. It’s an eco-friendly building ranging over two floors and is suitable for a wide range of uses.

On a 1.6-acre site, it comes with 67 parking spaces plus extensive outdoor terraces. And it has stunning views – from inside and out – over the ancient woodland of the Marline Valley. The Sussex Exchange has proved a popular venue amongst local people for both business and pleasure uses and is available immediately to buy or let.
