Landmark Properties Welcomes First Residents to The Standard at Dinkytown

In a significant development for student housing, Landmark Properties has officially opened the doors to The Standard at Dinkytown, conveniently situated at 521 15th Ave SE in Minneapolis. This new complex is 17 stories tall and boasts a total of 1,021 beds, marking Landmark's first foray into the Minnesota market, particularly catering to students of the nearby University of Minnesota.

The Standard offers numerous modern amenities and a variety of living arrangements including studio and multi-bedroom units, all fully furnished and designed with student needs in mind. Each of the 323 units features gourmet kitchens equipped with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, along with ample storage space, hardwood-style flooring, en-suite bathrooms, and in-unit laundry facilities. Students will also enjoy high-speed internet access and cable television, ensuring they are well connected for both academic and recreational activities.

Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer at Landmark Properties, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming the first residents for the upcoming academic year. He remarked, "We look forward to welcoming The Standard at Dinkytown's first residents ahead of the 2025-26 academic year. The Standard's proximity to campus, top-of-market amenity package, and well-appointed residential units have made it the top off-campus housing option for area students seeking housing for the Fall 2025 term."

This new residence features a vast amenity package that rivals even some of the most luxurious apartment complexes. Residents will have access to a resort-style outdoor pool area enhanced with a jumbotron, sun deck, and cabanas for relaxation. The outdoor grilling stations and rooftop hot tub provide a perfect setting for social gatherings and enjoying the view of Minneapolis and the Mississippi River.

Inside, the community does not fall short either. A fitness center, clubhouse complete with a computer lab, gaming lounge, study lounge and cafe, as well as Amazon package lockers ensure that all the residents' needs are met. There is even a thoughtfully designed activity area in the interior courtyard for those looking to relax or engage in recreational activities.

For student residents who own vehicles, The Standard provides secure on-site parking, further enhancing convenience for those commuting to classes or extracurricular engagements. Dedicated spaces for scooters and bicycles also promote greener transportation alternatives, reflecting Landmark's commitment to sustainability.

This launch is key to Landmark Properties' broader strategy as it continues to expand its national footprint. Headquartered in Athens, Georgia, with a significant operational office in Atlanta, Landmark is recognized as a leading player in high-quality student housing and residential communities across the US. With over $15 billion in assets under management and 72,000 beds managed across more than 115 residential communities, the firm is positioned for continued growth in the robust student and multifamily housing sectors.

In tune with its ongoing developments, Landmark is managing an active pipeline comprising over 50 student and multifamily projects, expected to provide substantial value in the vast market space. The Standard at Dinkytown signifies not only a culmination of strategic planning for Landmark but also presents an unparalleled living experience for University of Minnesota students.

For residents, The Standard is more than just a place to reside; it represents a community where academic pursuits and social interactions intertwine seamlessly, fostering a vibrant living environment conducive to both studies and friendships.

In conclusion, the opening of The Standard at Dinkytown serves as a testimony to Landmark Properties’ commitment to enhancing student living standards, one community at a time. With top-notch facilities, a supportive community, and a prime location, students can anticipate a smooth transition into their next academic chapter, full of growth and engagement.
