Sideshore wins Project of the Year at Michelmores Property Awards

Poynton Bradbury Architects are delighted to annouce that their recent Exmouth beachfront project, Sideshore has won an award at the 2021 Michelmores Awards.

Awarded best ‘Project of the Year (under £5m), the judges recognised the project's commitment to sustainability, supporting the local economy, and working through a global pandemic.

Sideshore is a not-for-project development; it was built for the community, and it has always been the aim for Sideshore to remain a legacy for the local community. Built to the highest standards in sustainability, operating as a profitable business and managed locally as a Community Interest Company (CIC) – whose sole aim is to use profits for the benefit of the Exmouth area.

Sideshore is run by a purpose-built CIC made up of representatives from the local area. With a full asset lock neither Grenadier nor the Council can ever profit from Sideshore.

Sideshore is the place for the local community and visitors to Exmouth to take-up a new water sport, enjoy delicious food and drink choices or to simply sit and watch the amazing activities and sports on offer.
