Former Post Office site renamed as ‘Postmark Place’
The former post office and sorting office on High Street, Eastleigh has been renamed as ‘Postmark Place’ to reflect the history of the site as part of its transformation into residential and commercial property.
The former Post Office and sorting office site is owned by the Council and is part of our ongoing process to regenerate the town centre. The hoardings now reflect the new name and provide details of the scheme for local people. The two new buildings will include commercial space on the ground floor of both buildings including the frontage onto High Street. The scheme will also provide improved links between High Street and Market Street.
There will also be town centre residential rented accommodation on the upper floors in both buildings. In total it is proposed there will be 10 one bedroom flats and 18 two bedroom flats across the two buildings. All of the flats will be for made available for rent with 10 of them provided for ‘social’ rent.
The exciting scheme not only develops a brown field site but will help to regenerate the town centre. It will provide much-needed quality and affordable housing for people who want the advantages of town centre living such as access to local shops and facilities together with the convenience of nearby bus and rail links.
It is planned that the first homes will be ready for occupation in Autumn 2024.
