Folkestone Seafront and Harbour Area

Amongst public and private organisations, as well as the vast majority of the town's residents, there is a strong momentum behind bringing new life into this 36-acre site. It provides an excellent opportunity for a high-quality mixed-use scheme comprising residential, education and leisure uses. It offers an unsurpassed location - a stone's throw away from the town centre, next to the award-winning Coastal Park and looking over the English Channel to France. It includes a significant stretch of the seafront as well as the port, which has recently benefitted from investment.

Roger de Haan, in partnership with a number of public and private organisations, has commissioned the world-famous urban designers Foster and Partners to masterplan the whole of the site.

Demolition work has already taken place on the seafront - a sure sign that the town is looking firmly to the future.

For further information on this site, please go to the Folkestone Harbour Company website.
