Crest Nicholson, in partnership with children’s charity the Starr Trust, has been selected by Brighton and Hove City Council for a £200m redevelopment of the King Alfred site on Hove seafront.
The scheme will include a £40m public sports centre, 560 flats, 20% of which will be affordable, community facilities and shops.
The existing 1930s sports centre will be demolished and replaced with facilities including three swimming pools, badminton courts, a gym and gymnastics centre.
Crest Nicholson regional development director Duncan Innes said: “Our proposals incorporate world-class leisure and community facilities set to benefit local residents.”
A planning application is expected to be submitted with architects Haworth Tompkins and LA Architects, in early 2017 following planning consultation. The first phase, including the sports centre, could open in 2020.
