Landmark Properties, a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in the development, construction, acquisition, investment management, and operation of high-quality residential communities, has closed on the acquisition of a development site in Fort Collins, Colorado where it plans to build The Mark Fort Collins, a 397-bed student housing community near Colorado State University.
Landmark will develop the project in partnership with Silverpeak Real Estate Partners and Peninsula Investments. TSB Capital Advisors coordinated financing for the project.
The acquired parcel at 255 Johnson Drive in Midtown Fort Collins includes a stalled development site, where Landmark plans to develop a six-story, off-campus student housing community with 193 units, in a mix of studio to four-bedroom apartments.
“We’re thrilled to begin construction on The Mark Fort Collins, bringing another Landmark project to the market to serve Colorado State Students,” said Jason Doornbos, Executive Managing Director of Development at Landmark Properties. “With great pedestrian and bike access along the Mason Trail, proximity to retail and other attractive amenities for our residents on College Avenue, The Mark will be a desired destination for students looking for housing in Fall 2026.”
Apartments will be fully wired for high-speed internet and cable and feature in-unit laundry, large closets, synthetic hardwood-style floors in the living area, carpet in the bedrooms, and tile flooring in the bathrooms. Gourmet kitchens feature stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and ample cabinet space. The Mark Fort Collinswill also offer residents competitive amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style outdoor pool, ski storage, pet spa, individual and group study areas, and rooftop courtyards with grilling stations.
The Mark Fort Collins is 0.37 miles from the Colorado State University campus. Its central location provides a short walk to dining, retail and entertainment on South College Avenue, the Spring Creek bus station, as well as attractions such as The Gardens on Spring Creek and Spring Park. This is Landmark’s second project in Fort Collins – The Standard at Fort Collins was delivered in fall 2020.
