Webinars

Landmark Properties has acquired a 27-acre site in Oxford, Mississippi, for The Station at Oxford, an 817-bed purpose-built student housing community planned just south of the University of Mississippi campus. The cottage-style development, located on Oxford Way off South Lamar Boulevard, will deliver 269 units composed of two- to four-bedroom cottages and townhomes, each fully furnished and wired for high-speed internet and cable.

Construction will begin immediately with Landmark Construction serving as general contractor, Niles Bolton Associates as architect, and JM Engineering as structural engineer. The project is expected to be ready for the 2027-2028 academic year. The Station at Oxford represents Landmark’s third development in partnership with Liberty Mutual Investments, following recently announced projects at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Connecticut.

“The Station at Oxford will be a best-in-class cottage-style option for the Ole Miss community, one of the only new student housing properties under construction since 2018,” said Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer at Landmark Properties. “The development’s unique product offering, proximity to campus, and modern design and amenities meets the evolving lifestyle preferences of today’s students and is sure to capture a meaningful share of the off-campus housing demand.”

Unit interiors will include in-unit laundry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, large closets, en-suite bathrooms, and hardwood-style laminate flooring. Community amenities are extensive and oriented to both social and study needs: a clubhouse with resort-style pool featuring cabanas and hammocks, fitness center, sports simulator, Jumbotron, cornhole, firepits and grilling areas, pickleball court, study lounge, bike storage, and parking capacity for up to 904 vehicles.

This development underscores ongoing interest from institutional capital in purpose-built student housing and reflects product-level responses to shifting student preferences around unit types, amenity mixes, and proximity to campus. The Station at Oxford pairs a cottage-style product with a broad amenity platform and in-house construction oversight, an approach that can streamline delivery timelines and align design intent with execution.

Multifamily Leadership will continue to monitor how projects like The Station at Oxford influence student housing supply, off-campus absorption, and investment partnerships in the multifamily sector.
