Design mock-ups offer a first look at some parts of a new 824-home development in the city.

The pictures, released by developer Moda Living, show what parts of the new Hove “neighbourhood” will look like.

The development company, which focuses on the private rental sector, is regenerating the former Sackville Road Trading Estate into a new “multigenerational neighbourhood” of more than 820 new homes, 564 of which will be build-to-rent apartments.

The neighbourhood, called Moda, Hove Central, will include six new buildings with more than 60 per cent of the 8.8-acre site covered with new landscaped green spaces, pedestrian routes and public areas.

The new homes, ten per cent of which will be affordable and managed by Moda, range from studio apartments to three-bedroom homes.

The first residents are expected to move in by the end of this year.

In addition to a 24-hour gym and fitness centre, residents will have access to "wellness-focused products and services" as well as roof terraces, communal lounges and co-working spaces and cycle-friendly cafes.

All residents will be given free access to home fitness app Fitt.

Additionally, a partnership with mental health expert Myndup gives residents subsidised access to services including counselling, meditation and life coaching.

 Tony Brooks, managing director at Moda Living, said: “Our vision for Moda, Hove Central is a vibrant and inclusive community that will be a great place to live, work and relax.”

 “It’s fantastic to see much-needed new homes taking shape in the heart of Brighton and Hove,” said Bella Sankey, leader of Brighton and Hove City Council.

“We need decent and comfortable new homes in our city especially for our key workers, families, singles, our young and old. We also need investment in our public realm and so I am pleased that Moda are creating amenities and artwork for all to enjoy.”

Peter Kyle, MP for Hove and Portslade, said: “It’s fantastic to see the new homes and public realm taking shape and we look forward to continuing to work with Moda for many years to come as it welcomes new residents to the area and runs this valuable new community for the long term.”
