Sussex Heights, High-rise residential building in central Brighton, England
Sussex Heights is a modern residential tower in central Brighton designed by Richard Seifert, rising 24 floors with approximately 116 apartments inside. The building features underground parking, multiple elevators, and concierge services for its residents.
The residential tower was completed in 1968 on the site of a former chapel, becoming the tallest residential building outside London at that time. Its construction represented a major shift in how Brighton developed as a modern city.
The building represents a shift away from Brighton's traditional Regency-style architecture that dominates much of the city center. It stands today as a marker of how the city transformed itself through mid-century development.
The tower is centrally located in Brighton and easily reached on foot or by public transport from all parts of the city. The building is primarily residential, so access to the interior is limited to residents and their guests.
Peregrine falcons have made their nest on the building's roof since 1998 and are regularly monitored by birdwatchers. This unexpected wildlife presence atop a residential tower has become a quiet bridge between urban life and nature.
