Student housing developer Landmark Properties is expanding into the build-to-rent market, with a focus on developing quality single-family rental home neighborhoods.

Headquartered in Athens, Georgia, the firm is building a 7,995-square-foot office on the fifth floor of One Buckhead Plaza in the heart of Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood to house the new division as well as provide space for its growing corporate and development teams.

“While we pride ourselves on our deep roots in Athens, we also recognize the deep pool of talent in Georgia’s capital city and look forward to growing our presence in Atlanta,” said president and CEO Wes Rogers. “Our business has grown across the country both organically in our student housing business as well as expanding into new verticals like build-to-rent. To attract and retain the best talent in the industry, and better host our growing list of partners, we felt opening an additional office in the heart of Buckhead was a wise decision.”
