Home to offices of Legal & General PLC who moved here a couple of years ago from their old offices in Montefiore Road. Until 1967 the site was largely empty with a small slice on the western side leased to Brighton & Hove Stadium for use as a spectator stand. The Alliance Building Society opened their main offices here and remained on the site until 1993 when, as the Alliance & Leicester, moved their operations to Leicester. Development of the site proved quite difficult and it wasn't until 2001 that the old building was demolished the new structures going up a few years later, offices to the north and two sets of flats on Orchard Road to the south.
