Landmark to build USC student housing

Landmark Building 826-Bed USC Student Housing Project

Landmark Properties, in partnership with Peninsula U.S., acquired a 67-acre site in Columbia, SC and will commence construction on a 197-unit, 826-bed cottage-style student housing community.  Landmark Cottage Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, is managing construction on the project.  The new student cottage community is expected to open for occupancy in August 2026.

The fully furnished units will include floorplans with two to six bedrooms. The robust amenity package at the community will also include an outdoor pool complex. Residents will also have access to a sand volleyball court, a sports simulator and fire pits. The property will also feature an expansive clubhouse with a 24-hour fitness center, dedicated study spaces, and a computer lab.

Located at 1050 Idlewild Blvd., just 1.3 miles from the University of South Carolina main campus, the community will rise adjacent to a parcel earmarked for the university’s “Stadium Project,” a $1 billion modernization initiative slated to transform over 800 acres west of the stadium into commercial and entertainment spaces.
