A development firm has closed on the acquisition of a site next to UConn’s Storrs campus where it plans to build a 738-bed student housing property. Landmark Properties says it will begin construction on the 1.56 acre site at 134 North Eagleville Road later this year. The site, which has previously been proposed as the location for a different student housing development, is within walking distance of UConn’s academic buildings, student center and athletic complexes. The new plans, which Landmark is calling The Mark Mansfield, will also include 7,000 square feet of retail space for the Huskies Tavern, currently located on the site. This is Landmark Properties’ second property in the Storrs market. The Standard at Four Corners is scheduled to be completed in fall 2025.
