After decades of neglect, it is good to see the newest jewel in the crown of Brighton seafront, Embassy Court, has been unveiled, (The Argus, April 20).

It can now be seen in all its renovated glory after workers began removing the scaffolding from the former eyesore.

This follows the first phase of a £4.2 million revamp.

The gleaming new white facade and sparkling windows were revealed from beneath the scaffolding making a stark contrast to a year ago.

After the 11-storey building had been neglected for decades, Embassy Court had become a blot on the seafront.

Now, as one of the most striking buildings in Brighton, it is ready to reclaim its rightful place among the finest examples of Thirties architecture anywhere in the world.

The transformation is astonishing and a fine reward for its long-suffering residents, who have had far too much to put up with for far too many years.

There are longer-term plans for Embassy Court, including a basement swimming pool and gymnasium along with other modernisations.

This will not only benefit the residents but Brighton and Hove as a whole.

It is a fine example of what can be achieved when investment in an old building can be found.
