Victoria Road, Portslade (Residential Project)

About the project

Victoria Road, is a residential building, located in Portslade, a western suburb of the city of Brighton and Hove.

Morgan Sindall will be responsible for the construction of 42 new flats. These have been designed to be very energy efficient and comprise: a light-weight steel frame superstructure, Ground Source Heat Pumps, photovoltaics and living walls. The new homes will benefit from a landscaped communal garden with views over the cemetery. There will also be a new civic area and car park adjacent to the Town Hall.

Once completed, the new flats will be allocated to people in housing need who are registered on the council’s Home Move register.
