Michael Royde says "I have recently negotiated an opportunity to acquire the foremost, principally commercial, building in an exciting new development in Lewes, East Sussex.  Situated on the South Downs, Lewes is the County Town of East Sussex with a population of 17,000 inhabitants and a catchment area of approximately 100,000 people.  It is six miles from Brighton and is shortly to become the capital of the New South Downs National Park, which, within the next two years, is to be designated as a protected area.  There are no other developments of the scale and nature of the Phoenix Quarter in Lewes where property prices have grown substantially in the past few years and are likely to continue to grow in the future in line with other towns in the South East of England."
