Property News: New city centre development a runaway success

Further proof of the vibrancy of the Brighton property market comes with news of the runaway success of a major new city centre development. Estate agents Cubitt & West are well accustomed to successfully selling brand new homes right across Sussex, but even they were surprised by the huge public response to the launch of the landmark Mitre House development on Western Road, which saw almost half of the apartments reserved in the first two days.

A familiar sight on this bustling street in the heart of the city, Mitre House is an imposing Art Deco apartment building which has now been fully restored to its former glory. Within this unique environment, the developers have created a stunning collection of 62 superb one and two-bedroom apartments, including six penthouses, with prices ranging from just £250,000 for the single bedroom apartments and from £350,000 for two bedrooms, with the penthouses to be released soon.

Many original features of this striking building have been retained – most notably in the luxury hotel-style entrance foyer with its magnificent period chandelier, which instantly recalls all the glamour and elegance of the 1930s. In contrast, within the apartments themselves, the focus is very much on sophisticated contemporary open-plan living, complemented by high-quality fittings throughout, plus luxury fitted kitchens and bathrooms. Some even benefit from balconies commanding superb sea views.

Apartments of this quality are virtually unheard of in such a desirable location. Consequently, Cubitt & West were always confident that they would prove popular. Nevertheless, even they were slightly taken aback by the overwhelming success of the launch. “By the end of the first weekend, we had had no fewer than 100 viewings, and 29 firm reservations – and since then the sales have just kept coming!” says Jason Willetts, Land & New Homes Director. “Mitre House has been the culmination of several years’ work between ourselves and the developers, and I can honestly say that we are all incredibly proud of these highly desirable apartments in such a rare central Brighton location.”

So needless to say, if the idea of a brand new, attractively priced luxury apartment in the heart of one of the most exciting cities in Britain sounds like your ideal home, then don’t waste a second. Contact Cubitt & West on Western Road right away on 01273 820600 to arrange a viewing. And do it very soon – because an opportunity like this won’t come along again in a hurry!
