The development will be the seventh UK city where Legal & General is offering its new rental scheme.
The company aims to improve standards across the rental market by developing high-quality, well-managed, specifically designed housing in areas with high demand.
The development will deliver 200 homes and up to 3,000 sq m of commercial space – subject to planning approval – ideal for start-ups and SMEs.
The site is situated 200 metres from Brighton train station, which offers a fast, mainline service into a number of London stations.
