Brighton-based building company Integra has started work on the £1.3 million redevelopment of a former slum.

The firm, based in Bloomsbury Street, is transforming Orange Row in North Laine into a stylish Mews with partners Karis - the company behind the King Alfred development in Hove.

The 13 properties are being aimed at "artists and small businesses".

Joe McNulty, Integra's managing director, said: "We are very excited about seeing the finished product of this once neglected street restored into a buzzing environment for small business and artists."
