Brighton’s Circus Street cultural quarter has scooped its fourth major national award since it was completed last year.
The latest accolade sees the location receive the accolade for best private/public partnership in the EG Awards 2022, leading awards for the commercial real estate industry.
Circus Street was officially opened one year ago by Brighton & Hove City Council Leader Phélim Mac Cafferty at a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Developed by specialist regeneration developer U+I and designed by award-winning architects Shedkm, Circus Street includes 142 homes, 450 student bedrooms, a new innovation community, range of food and drink outlets and the city’s first purpose-built dance house.
State of the art environmental building design has been combined with landscaping focused on building biodiversity, making this a very green development with more than 100 trees planted, including a mature elm tree, centrally placed as an emblem of regeneration and growth.
Rob Sloper, Project Director, U+I, said:
“It has been a pleasure working with such a forward thinking Council and University to deliver really important economic and cultural benefits to the local area and the city as a whole.
"We are delighted to win this award for a specialism that we are particularly proud of; working in partnership with public sector organisations.”
Prof Debra Humphris, University of Brighton's Vice-Chancellor, added:
"The Circus Street scheme is a worthy winner of this award and a fantastic example of what can be achieved through bold thinking and partnership working.
"The partnership we have with U+I and the city council has not only made a huge difference at Circus Street but also transformed our Moulsecoomb campus for the benefits of our students, staff and the local community."
Circus Street aims to create in excess of 400 new jobs and to add more than £200 million gross value to the local economy in the next ten years.
