Athens, Georgia – [May 15, 2024] – Landmark Properties, the leading vertically-integrated developer of student housing in the United States, today announced its expansion into the United Kingdom and Ireland. This strategic move builds upon a near-decade of industry-leading development volume, including record-setting 2023 performance (delivering 25% of US off-campus student housing in 2023). Landmark is assembling a seasoned UK-based team spearheaded by the recent hiring of development professional Tom Banning as Director of UK & Ireland Development.
“As Landmark Properties celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, we are thrilled to announce our expansion into the European market,” said Wes Rogers, President and CEO of Landmark Properties. “We see a tremendous opportunity to develop purpose-built student housing in the UK and Ireland and are confident that our expertise in developing high-quality student accommodations will be well-received.”
The UK and Ireland offer attractive opportunities for student housing development due to a supply-demand imbalance, rising enrollment numbers, and a less mature market than the US. Landmark Properties is committed to developing high-quality student accommodations throughout these markets, leveraging its deep expertise to meet the region’s needs and create strong yields for its partners.
