Hastings, one of England's historic Cinque Ports, has undergone a renaissance and is one of the south coast’s up and coming destinations.

Infrastructure improvements and commercial developments have transformed the town centres and attracted new retail, leisure and commercial occupiers. Massive investment in education, technology, the physical environment and transportation links are building on this resurgence and offering exciting commercial opportunities.

The designation of Hastings as a Millennium Community in July 2002 and the establishment of the University in the heart of Hastings Town Centre further boosts the town's economic prospects.

Hastings offers excellent opportunities for commercial investors, with both existing units and new development sites to suit a variety of uses. Development of key town centre sites provides further scope for additional retail and leisure investment. A firm commitment by the local authority to encourage and support sustainable development underpins a range of grants and other business support for anyone wishing to invest in the town.
