OAKLEY PROPERTY has won a major contract to let and manage Brighton’s first ever Build to Let or PRS (Private Rented Sector) development, due for completion this July. The scheme has been branded Central Park and comprises a major refurbishment of the former American Express offices in Preston Road, immediately opposite Preston Park.

Central Park is being developed by Daejan Brighton, part of Daejan Holdings, who are one of the UK’s largest residential landlords. The development will offer 63 high quality apartments, to include two stunning three bed penthouses, and a range of one and two-bedroom apartments all of which will be offered to let on the open market.

Murray Kerr, lettings manager at Oakley said: “Letting demand for the scheme is sure to be high, reflecting the fantastic quality of this development and its superb location, which offers great access to Brighton, Preston Park, and London Road Train Stations. We have just launched the scheme’s website where people can register their interest in this unique development as early as possible. The show apartment is due to be ready in the spring with potential to reserve off plan for a summer move-in.”

Chris Oakley, executive chairman of Oakley said: “We are delighted to have won the contract to both let and manage this major project which really is a first for Brighton. The property market is changing rapidly and Daejan are responding to the increased demand in the rented sector. Our involvement in the project has involved a comprehensive service to include advising the Client on the development plans, providing a marketing campaign and branding for the scheme, a management service, and of course the actual marketing to secure new tenants for the development. It’s a great endorsement of our teams at Oakley that Daejan have placed this major contract with a local business.”
