Landmark Properties has closed on the acquisition of a 1.56-acre site at 134 N. Eagleville Rd., adjacent to the University of Connecticut’s (UConn) main campus in Storrs, CT. The firm will begin construction on The Mark Mansfield, a 738-bed student housing community, in late 2025. The site was acquired in partnership with Peninsula Investments. TSB Capital Advisors coordinated financing.

“UConn saw a record-breaking 2024 freshman class and, as the university moves forward with plans to expand its enrollment further over the next decade, the demand for high-quality and pedestrian-to-campus living options will continue to increase,” said Jason Doornbos, chief development officer of Landmark Properties. “We’re excited to help meet this growing housing need with the development of The Mark.”

Located near the university’s core, the new development will be Landmark Properties’ second asset in the Storrs market. The site was formerly proposed as the location for another student housing development.
