Landmark Properties, in partnership with Peninsula U.S., acquired a 67-acre site in Columbia, SC and will commence construction on a 197-unit, 826-bed cottage-style student housing community.  Landmark Cottage Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, is managing construction on the project.  The new student cottage community is expected to open for occupancy in August 2026.

The fully furnished units will include floorplans with two to six bedrooms. The robust amenity package at the community will also include an outdoor pool complex. Residents will also have access to a sand volleyball court, a sports simulator and fire pits. The property will also feature an expansive clubhouse with a 24-hour fitness center, dedicated study spaces, and a computer lab.

Located at 1050 Idlewild Blvd., just 1.3 miles from the University of South Carolina main campus, the community will rise adjacent to a parcel earmarked for the university’s “Stadium Project,” a $1 billion modernization initiative slated to transform over 800 acres west of the stadium into commercial and entertainment spaces.

CRG along with partner Landmark Properties completed the sale of The Standard at Columbia, a new 17-story, 678-bed student housing tower at 1401 Assembly St. in Columbia, S.C. The buyer is CapitaLand, a Singapore-based investment firm.

The Standard at Columbia, which opened last summer, was 91.3% occupied for the 2023-24 academic year and is 98.1% pre-leased for the upcoming year. It is located on an urban-infill site in the Arsenal Hill neighborhood, near the University of South Carolina campus.

The Standard at Columbia features 678 beds across 247 fully furnished studio to five-bedroom units. A generous amenity package includes a resort-style rooftop pool with sun shelves, jumbotron, fire pit and outdoor grilling stations; complimentary tanning beds; fitness center; multi-sport simulator; academic lounge with private study rooms and computer lab; resident clubroom; bike storage; and garage parking with EV charging stations.

CRG parent company Clayco served as general contractor on the development, while Clayco subsidiary Lamar Johnson Collaborative was the architect.
