NEWS ROUNDUP

ACQUISITION: Landmark and Stockbridge acquire 801 beds. Landmark Properties and Stockbridge have acquired an 801-bed cottage and townhome student housing community in College Station, Texas, serving Texas A&M University. The 22-acre, 2016-built property includes 186 residences and was sold in a transaction arranged by CBRE. JD Goering, senior vice president of acquisitions at Landmark Properties, cited historic high occupancy, assumable in-place financing, and a strong amenity package as key drivers of the acquisition, pointing to sustained demand for cottage-style living and continued leasing upside.

DEVELOPMENT: Two new LSU-area project planned by 2027-2028. Two new student housing developments near Louisiana State University—Sterling Tiger Valley and Sterling Southgate—are planned to deliver more than 1,700 beds within walking distance of campus ahead of the 2027 and 2028 academic years.

DEVELOPMENT: Northeastern breaks ground on 1,200+ bed dorm.
