Sussex Heights – a residential tower block in Brighton, England – is one of the tallest residential buildings on the south coast of England and the tallest in the county of Sussex.
It was designed as a luxury apartment block by Richard Seifert and Partners, and completed in 1966. Rising to a height of 102 metres, Sussex Heights has 115 flats on 24 floors, plus a penthouse. The sub-penthouse floors have five flats each, three of which are east- and two west-facing. Most flats have sea views and many also enjoy views over the South Downs and the city of Brighton and Hove. The tower is located between Russell Square and Regency Square and is a short walk from the centre of Brighton seafront. It is built above the conference rooms of the Brighton Metropole Hotel (part of the Hilton Hotels chain) and has the postal code BN1 2FQ.
Ownership
Sussex Heights (Brighton) Ltd. was formed in 1992 to buy the head lease of Sussex Heights from the freeholder. The lessees of the block at that time were concerned that the building was falling into an unacceptable state of disrepair, due to a lack of attention by the Freeholder. The company's chairman and directors are resident at Sussex Heights and meet regularly to discuss matters relating to the maintenance and smooth running of the block.
