Reading time: 2 minutes
A new apartment building for students is coming to downtown Auburn.
Landmark Properties recently announced its purchase of a 3.29-acre site on Wright Street between West Glenn and Magnolia avenues. The site will be used to build The Mark Auburn, a new student housing community.
The downtown site is adjacent to the campus core of Auburn University and in walking distance of several dining, retail and entertainment options on College Street and Magnolia Avenue.
“Landmark is happy to announce its second project in Auburn, a high-growth market with increasing demand for off-campus housing. Our team was advantageous in negotiating a four-parcel site that falls across two zoning areas, which will allow us to achieve meaningful density at The Mark Auburn and stand out among similar properties in the area.”
Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer at Landmark Properties
The total price of the project + the projected completion date has not been confirmed.
