U+I and the University of Brighton have won planning for the regeneration of Preston Barracks and the University of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb campus.
The £300m partnership project will create 369 homes, 1,338 student bedrooms, a new home for the university’s business school and a 50,000 sq ft hub for start-up businesses.
The site has been vacant for more than two decades.
Richard Upton, deputy chief executive of U+I, said: “The Preston Barracks project is one of the largest and most ambitious regeneration projects to have been brought forward in Brighton for a number of years.”
