BOULDER, Colo.—Property development firm Landmark Properties is developing a 15-acre site adjacent to the University of Colorado Boulder campus, which will soon be the home to The Standard at Boulder, a 936-bed student housing complex that also entails a six-acre “green space.”  The developer’s own Landmark Construction arm will build the housing building, located at 1345 28^th Street, from a design by the Denver-based architect Shears Adkins Rockmore—also known as SAR+.

Prior to constructing the 447,000-square-foot residential building, Landmark will first demolish the Harvest House Hotel, which exists on the same site.  When completed, The Standard will feature 303 student apartments across its four stories in various floor plans from studio to four bedrooms.  Some living units will have private balconies, and the building will also offer nearly 30,000 square feet of various amenities including rooftop decks, study lounges, a club room and nearly 350 parking spaces that include electric vehicle charging stations.

Landmark’s plans entail the incorporation of various green spaces as well, encompassing 6 acres adjacent to Boulder Creek.  The developer will also enhance parts of Boulder Creek Path, which stretches from the campus into downtown Boulder’s entertainment and dining district.  Various seating areas and other amenities for the green space are planned.

“The Boulder market in general has had a shortage of new housing supply, and the university housing market specifically has been especially supply-constrained,” Wes Rogers, president and CEO of Landmark Properties, said of his company’s work at CU Boulder.  “The location presented the perfect opportunity to bring much-needed student housing to the area while creating a highly unique six-acre public greenspace adjacent to Boulder Creek and the Boulder Creek Path.

“We were drawn to this site because of its proximity to the CU Boulder campus and the convenient access to a variety of built-in neighborhood amenities.”

Construction is anticipated to be complete in time for the Fall 2027 academic term.

“At Landmark, we pride ourselves in providing a great experience to our customers at each of our properties, and that experience begins at the construction stage,” Rob Amaya, project manager with Landmark Construction, said in a subsequent statement emailed to ßäßäÓ°Ôş.  “That is especially true of our Boulder project, where our team and the City have worked tirelessly to coordinate construction activities on site.”

“It’s not every day that we have the opportunity to include such an incredible amount of green space for resident and public use,” added Rogers.  “And, to do so while also providing new housing options for CU Boulder students makes this deal a true win-win for students and the community at large.”

Landmark specializes in construction, development and operation of high-end residential communities.  The company is based in Athens, Georgia, with another office in Atlanta.  Their portfolio entails over 70,000 beds at 115 residential communities.

LOS ANGELES—Landmark Properties has begun construction on The Standard at Los Angeles, located at 3900 S Figueroa St. only a few blocks south of the University of Southern California (USC) campus in Los Angeles. The firm will build a new, mid-rise apartment building with 1,236 beds across 429 units while renovating five existing townhomes comprising 48 beds. Landmark Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, is managing construction on The Standard at Los Angeles with an expected opening of August 2026. The architect on the project is HED.

“We’ve been looking for opportunities near USC for a long time and we’re excited to be able to deliver a project of this scale to the students of USC,” said Wes Rogers, President and CEO of Landmark Properties. “The location boasts remarkable access to academics, athletics and neighborhood amenities while the size of our site will allow us to deliver something truly unique to the market.”

Situated at the east side of the 160-acre Exposition Park – boasting world-class museums, educational and sport and entertainment venues such as the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and BMO Stadium – The Standard at Los Angeles will include a mix of floorplans ranging from studios to five-bedroom floorplans. Residences at The Standard at Los Angeles will be fully wired for high-speed internet. Every unit will feature luxury vinyl tile flooring, Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats, private baths and in-unit washer/dryers as well as gourmet kitchens with ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops.

The amenity package at The Standard at Los Angeles will be one of the largest by square footage in Landmark’s portfolio, including over 60,000 square feet of interior and exterior amenity space. On the rooftop, residents have access to a resort-style outdoor pool area with a sun deck, Jumbotron and outdoor grilling stations. The expansive clubhouse spaces will be anchored by the rooftop clubroom adjoining the 24-hour fitness center with an on-demand yoga/fitness studio. In addition to multiple study lounges throughout the interior space, The Standard at Los Angeles will give the students opportunity to unwind or study al fresco in an interior courtyard with various seating areas and a micro-market for grab-n-go dining convenience. Covered garage parking will also be available to residents.  The project will be designed to LEED Silver standards as a part of Landmark’s overall commitment to sustainable development.

The Standard at Los Angeles is Landmark Properties’ second community in Los Angeles. The firm’s first foray into the Los Angeles market, The Mark at Los Angeles, serves the University of California Los Angeles campus.
