GEHRY'S KING ALFRED EXIT 'BREACHES SECTION 106'

摘要

Karis, the developer behind the controversial King Alfred development in Hove, has been accused of breaching its section 106 agreement after confirming that Gehry had left the scheme. Last week, Karis boss Josh Arghiros ended months of speculation about Gehry's role on the ￡290 million seafront development by announcing that the project had been handed over to executive architects HOK. Speaking to the Brighton Argus, Arghiros added that he had not spoken to the Canadian architecl 'since just after Christmas'. Now, local anti-development campaigners have claimed that Gehry s exit contravened a clause in the section 106 agreement between Karis and Brighton and Hove Council, signed last July. The clause reads: '[The] developer hereby agrees it will use reasonable endeavours to retain Gehry Partners and HOK as project architects.'
