The new luxury development, which will be built by Hallmark’s sister company, Savista Developments is being built at a cost of nearly £20 million across a two-acre site at Kings Drive in Eastbourne.

The site’s construction team, were recently joined by Eastbourne MP Caroline Ansell, deputy mayor Cllr Sammy Choudhury, Ram Goyal, Hallmark’s managing director and Avnish Goyal, chair, to officially mark the start of the build.

Conservative MP, Caroline Ansell said: “I was pleased to ceremonially start the work on this much needed care home for Eastbourne and a substantial investment in our town.

“The Hallmark Group is a family-run business dedicated to providing social care, which is at the frontline of the pandemic.

“I was very pleased to hear the company is committed to working with the local community, building local relationships and playing its part in protecting the health and safety of our older people with quality provision.”

The Eastbourne development, to be called Willingdon Park Manor, is scheduled to open its doors to its first residents in late 2021.

The new development will be the Essex-based care group’s 22nd care home.
