View Development
This prestigious building is rich with interesting history. Once the site of a derelict petrol station, the desirable seafront plot was transformed. In the 90s, architect Peter Rutter designed the building consisting of 38 apartments and 2 penthouses all with a sea view and allocated underground parking. Construction started in 1999 and was completed by 2001. Six terraced houses were also built at the back to fulfil the council requirements for affordable housing.
Completed in 2001 The building was named after William Van Alen – architect of the Chrysler Building – to honor the Art Deco influences that inspired this more modern interpretation.
The high-end properties sold incredibly quickly to the high-profile buyers they were designed for. One of the apartments was even bought by former spice girl, Emma Bunton, for weekend getaways to sunny Brighton!
Right on the seafront, in the heart of Kemptown, this location is synonymous with the vibrant LGBTQ+ culture Brighton is known for. Flanked by Regency style houses, this building benefits from the tranquility of Marine Parade but is still close enough to the town center that you won’t ever miss out on the action. There are gyms, hundreds of bars and restaurants, and the beach within a short walks distance.
