Brighton has always defied conventions; a city that perfectly blends creativity with wellbeing and personality. Our task was simple, be true to Brighton and keep the spirit alive.
Our chosen architects are award winning experts, BGY and they fully immersed themselves in the vibe of the city. Like us, they agree that creating social spaces for people to collaborate are essential
That is why Edward Street Quarter has a series of spaces – public squares, roof terraces, brand new streets, cyclist hubs – all designed to enable collision points for residents and visitors. Mix in three new public art pieces by local and international artists - this is a place that you will enjoy spending time in.
Recently completed, Edward Street Quarter delivers a vibrant new mixed-use neighbourhood with 110,000 sq. ft of Grade A offices, the largest to be delivered in Brighton for 25 years.

The full story
Socius acquired the site with Patron Capital from American Express and led on the community engagement and planning. Brighton and Hove City Council granted planning consent for the largest new mixed-use development in Brighton for 25 years. McLaren were appointed as contractor and construction works concluded in Spring 2023.
Socius has led a successful residential sales and office letting campaign, securing Octopus Energy, Natwest and Knights as tenants, as well as securing a build-to-rent sale to M&G and an affordable housing sale to L&G. Investec provided development finance. Socius is currently asset manager of the completed development.
