Landmark Building USC Student Housing Community

Landmark Properties purchased a 22.35-acre land parcel near the University of South Carolina (USC). The land, located at 1401 Shop Road in Columbia, will be the site of The Walk on Shop Road, an 825-bed, 196-unit townhome-style student housing community located less than one mile from the USC campus and Williams-Brice Stadium.

Sean Baird, Jonathan Holt and Cole Cusmano of Colliers represented Landmark Properties in the acquisition. The seller was Voltari Real Estate Holding LLC. Landmark Properties will develop the project in partnership with Silverpeak Real Estate Partners. 

Landmark Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, will build The Walk on Shop Road, with Niles Bolton Associates serving as architect. The development will offer a mix of two- to six-bedroom fully furnished units. 

Community amenities will include a swimming pool, Jumbotron, cabanas and hammocks, fire pits and grilling areas, a fitness center, a sports simulator, lawn games, and a wellness suite.

Delivery is anticipated for the 2027-2028 academic school year.
