Projects - Lacuna Place
 "Click to enlarge (opens in a new window)")
Lacuna Place is being built to provide flexible, contemporary, high-quality business premises in Hastings town centre. It is being created on the empty space of land between buildings at the top of Havelock Road, known as the 'Gap Site' as it had been empty and overgrown for over a decade.
The building's name has been chosen as 'Lacuna' is Latin for 'gap'.
Reasons For Development
Lacuna Place, on Havelock Road, will provide space for up to 200 employees to work. There will be additional premises on the Priory Street side, with a walkway between the two roads.
The scheme will enable local firms to expand and will help attract companies to the area, creating jobs. At the moment, businesses tell us there is a severe lack of decent premises in the town.
More people working here will also make this part of the town more lively, supporting shops, cafes and restaurants. The buildings will dramatically improve the two streets, which should encourage private companies to invest.
Timings
- Planning application approved for Lacuna Place: February 2006
- Construction start: December 2006
- Anticipated construction completion: summer 2008 followed by fit-out.
Further Information
Lacuna Place will be the first part of a wider scheme to revitalise the Priory Quarter district of Hastings town centre.
This project is part-funded by the EU.
