According to the plans, the current 32 parking slots and four disability bays at the town centre site will be kept for residents.
There will also be a communal area for bicycle storage.
Upperton Investments Ltd said the residents would benefit from good access to shops, services and public transport links.
It said the building, which was formerly used by East Sussex County Council's children's services department, had been empty for months before the plans were submitted.
It is not confirmed when work on the site will begin.
