New development on Eastbourne's Sovereign Harbour secures first tenant

The first office within Pacific House, the new development on Eastbourne’s Sovereign Harbour Innovation Park, has been let.

Bourne Rail, which provides civil engineering services to the rail industry, is just starting its third year of operation and has grown rapidly, expanding its workforce from 12 to 30 in the last year. The transport engineering company has taken an office on the ground floor of Pacific House.

Tim Clifford, owner of Bourne Rail, explains: “We had a small office in Eastbourne town centre but we need more space and a more professional working environment where we can meet our clients. Pacific House is designed really well - contemporary, light, full of modern features and well laid-out with plenty of parking. It’s the perfect place to help me take my business to the next level.”

Pacific House is a three-floor business centre which was completed in late July. With offices available from 627 sq ft upwards, it is suitable for small, medium and large companies.

Philip Johnson, director of Locate East Sussex, said: “It’s great to see a dynamic and fast-growing business like Bourne Rail benefiting from the excellent facilities at Pacific House.

“This is a high-quality development that provides an outstanding choice for local companies that are expanding, and the perfect location for those moving into the area.”

There are 10 small suites remaining on the ground floor (from 627 to 952 sq ft), six medium-sized offices on the first floor (1,258 - 1,897 sq ft) and two large offices on the second floor (4,402 & 4,412 sq ft). These could be combined or sub-divided to suit occupiers’ needs.

In addition to Pacific House, Sovereign Harbour Innovation Park has sites which can accommodate further business premises up to 80,000 sq ft.

The Innovation Park is three miles from Eastbourne town centre and accessed from Pacific Drive, off Pevensey Bay Road.
