Completed in 2002 this yet another example of how land is at a premium in this square. The left the roof of the bungalow at 54 can just be made out. Until 2002 there were three similar buildings next to each other, as the hoarding to the right testifies only one remains. Old Victorian and Edwardian villas can at the least be converted into flats to maximise income, bungalows cannot, and as the land is worth more than the property many smaller buildings are now disappearing and Palmeira Avenue is becoming dotted with non-descript blocks of flats. Though at least this one retains some kind of art deco look that at least tries to fit into the seaside tradition though not in Hove.
