ATHENS, Georgia (December 12, 2019) — A joint-venture between Landmark Properties, a vertically-integrated student housing developer and owner-operator, and affiliates of the Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division recently acquired two properties from South City Partners. Both properties — My House on Caplewood, a 150-bed student housing property and My House on the 50, a 161-bed student housing property — are located adjacent to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
My House on Caplewood
My House on Caplewood was built in 2017, and My House on the 50 was built in 2018. Both properties are currently 100% occupied.
“Landmark remains tremendously active in the acquisitions market, as we explore and execute deals that add to our Class A student housing portfolio,” said Landmark Properties President and CEO Wes Rogers. “We look forward to creating an unsurpassed living experience for our new residents in Tuscaloosa.”

“As we move into 2020 and beyond, we will continue to focus on developing and acquiring high-quality assets that are pedestrian to flagship universities,” said Rogers.
The transaction represents the third student housing acquisition for Landmark Properties — the nation’s top student housing developer — in the past 4 months. In August, Landmark acquired 446 beds in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In a separate deal, the company acquired another 1,130 beds in Austin, Texas and Tallahassee, Florida.
Landmark continues to pursue acquisition opportunities in markets across the country, adding to its impressive $5.2 billion owned properties portfolio. The company currently has 2,600 beds under contract with closings anticipated in the first quarter of 2020.
