Flude Property Consultants has announced the recent letting of 25,000 sq ft of new build Grade A office space at Hove Central, marking Brighton and Hove’s largest office letting in recent years.
The offices form part of Hove Central, a prime mixed-use multifamily development by Apache Capital and KKR, located on the site of the former Sackville Trading Estate and just a few minutes’ walk from Hove railway station.
The transaction sees a major global consultancy firm commit to a 10-year lease, with an option to extend to 20 years, taking the entirety of Block A and setting a new rental tone for Hove and the wider decentralised Brighton & Hove market.
This letting provides clear evidence that occupiers with long-term requirements are prepared to commit to Brighton & Hove when the quality, scale and connectivity of the accommodation align, even against a subdued wider market backdrop.
Ed Deslandes, director at Flude Property Consultants said: “It is really pleasing to have been able to secure this letting at end of what has been a particularly challenging year in the local office market, and with take up for the y/e December 2025 well below the annual average over the course of the last decade or so, and disregarding 2020 being the height of the pandemic.
“It has been a pleasure working on this project alongside our joint agent Jon Rea Plamer at Lambert Smith Hampton, and directly with Ian Franklin at White, Druce & Brown, who represented the tenant.
“We still have some other great spaces available elsewhere on the scheme and which are primarily targeted at the SME market, further details available upon request.”
