Quay homes prove a big hit

THE first visitors were welcomed to a show home at the 11 million West Quay development in Newhaven on Friday.

The Sea Containers scheme, called Riverside, is made up of 44 houses and 20 apartments. A state of the art processing plant for fishermen is also due to open by the end of the year.

Newhaven s MP Norman Baker and the Mayor, David Fitton, were among the first guests to cross the show home threshold.

They were shown around by David Carpenter, development director for Sea Containers Property Services Ltd.

He said the sale of the new homes had got off to a good start. We are very pleased with the new Riverside development.

It has been an undeniable success proving itself by the number of properties sold in advance of completion.

As a result, Sea Containers is looking at the possibility of a second phase of housing at the northern end of the Newhaven Marina.

It is hoped the regeneration of West Quay will provide a much needed boost to the town centre and transform one of the most prominent sites in the town.
