Landmark Properties and W5 Group Spearhead Innovative Living with The Standard at Syracuse
Landmark Properties, in partnership with W5 Group, has made a pivotal move in the heart of Syracuse’s University Hill neighborhood, setting the table for an innovative and much-anticipated student housing solution. With their expertise in real estate development and visionary investment strategies, they have closed on a 2-acre site, embarking on the development of The Standard at Syracuse—a 600+ bed, 210-unit student housing community that will soon become a cornerstone of the locality.
The Standard at Syracuse aims to redefine student living standards by being the first to offer five-bedroom floorplans in Syracuse’s purpose-built student housing sector. Located just a block from Syracuse University, this breakthrough project not only respects the area’s rich heritage by preserving the historical Temple Concord sanctuary, but it also extends Landmark Properties’ portfolio into New York’s vibrant student living scene.
Wes Rogers of Landmark Properties highlighted the commitment to providing students with a housing environment that leverages both location and luxury. His dedication radiates through in his statement: “Beyond the remarkable location on the north side of the Syracuse University campus, The Standard at Syracuse will provide much-needed housing for students at Syracuse University… We are excited to have closed our seventh investment with W5 Group.”
Meanwhile, Ralph Winter of W5 Group emphasized the strategic alignment of The Standard at Syracuse with their Innovative Living investment strategy – designed to cater to a community-oriented, amenitized living experience. Winter noted the synergy with Syracuse University’s growth, influenced by Micron Technology’s incoming $100-billion semiconductor facility which will enhance local workforce development and innovation.
The Standard at Syracuse will offer more than just a bed; it’s envisioned as an upscale abode integrating a mix of studios to five-bedroom units at various price points. Each unit is thoughtfully planned with private baths, hardwood-style flooring, gourmet kitchens, and designer touches like quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. And for some, a chance to step outside into a private balcony.
Adding to the allure, the project is strategically placed near the spirited Marshall Street entertainment district and Thornden Park’s recreational sanctuary. Landmark Properties’ conception of an amenity-rich experience doesn’t stop at living quarters. Residents will have access to a bespoke gathering space within the preserved Temple Concord, a 24-hour fitness center, sauna, study areas, and a much-coveted large outdoor hot tub.
Landmark Properties continues to affirm its reputation as an authority in the multifamily apartment industry by not simply constructing buildings, but by crafting communities. As we look forward to The Standard at Syracuse’s opening in 2026, it’s inspiring to see innovation and preservation go hand-in-hand, offering students a vibrant, forward-thinking living experience that honors the fabric of its community.
