Project Elements• The "Retreat" brand brings a high-quality, award winning, housing option with an established

successful track record for being an asset to the local community.

• Landmark Properties was recently recognized as one of the largest 20 student housing operators in the country by Student Housing Business, further ensuring a well-maintained, secure, and professionally managed community.

– Visit our website: www.landmark-properties.com for more information on our projects and our company.

• We have successfully developed similar projects in multiple college markets throughout the U.S., including Athens, GA; Columbia, SC; Knoxville, TN; Tuscaloosa, AL; Tallahassee, FL; Raleigh, NC; San Marcos, TX; Lubbock, TX; and Denton, TX.

• Existing Retreat sites have endorsements and support letters from local planning and law enforcement officials.

• The Retreat has been well-received by the local public, providing positive results for the community at large. Our proven track record draws students out of traditional single family neighborhoods, giving our residents their own controlled neighborhood of ‘cottages’.

• Lease agreement language restricts gathering hours and frequency, and outlines the management enforcement of community rules and regulations.

• Residents are fined and/or evicted for violations of the community policies.

• On-site management and security – The Retreat will offer a free unit to a police officer as it has on many other projects which has resulted in a more secure

property for residents and the local neighborhood. – At least one property manager will live on-site, ensuring prompt attention to any issues that may arise on the property. – Staff of 6-12 employees on-site overseeing management and maintenance of the property.
