The rise in both on- and-off-campus developments in Storrs in recent years mirrors UConn’s larger enrollment growth efforts, and the number of projects underway suggest surges in both enrollment and the university’s growing housing footprint around its main and regional campuses are not slowing down. Amidst record-high enrollment, the university is currently housing a record number of almost 13,400 students in Storrs, with housing at full capacity, said UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz. At the same time, new off-campus options have opened up, with a massive student housing development in the works that would add more than 1,000 beds for Storrs students. The Georgia-based development firm Landmark Properties bought the site in the spring, with plans to begin construction in late 2025, according to a news release.
