Landmark Properties has partnered with Manulife Investment Management to construct The Metropolitan on South U, a 259-unit student housing community at 1208 S. University Ave. in Ann Arbor, MI. This project represents the sixth project in a build-to-core joint venture executed with the Manulife Infrastructure Fund pool.

Construction will begin imminently. Landmark Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, will build the project with Myefski Architects serving as architect. Peninsula Investments also partnered on the project.

“We are excited to move forward with construction on The Metropolitan on South U and bring much-needed housing to the Ann Arbor market as enrollment growth at the University of Michigan remains steady,” said Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer of Landmark.

The Metropolitan on South U is near the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, the Michigan Diag and a variety of shopping, dining and entertainment options. Fully furnished residences will feature quartz countertops, hardwood-style laminate floors, stainless steel appliances and in-unit laundry, and will come prewired for internet and cable access.
