Hastings Commons is community led regeneration. Since 2014, we have brought over 8,000 square metres of floor space into custodian ownership across a whole cluster of buildings in the centre of Hastings, renovating them to a high quality, offering genuinely affordable rents, and supporting residents and businesses to collaborate and take more control of where they live and work. Through this very local work, Hastings Commons challenges traditional approaches, creating new models of ownership, management and collaboration that can inspire people far beyond the local. Our vision is a place shaped by local people, full of community-owned vibrant spaces and homes, collaboratively managed and affordable forever.
