Landmark Properties Reveals The Standard at West Lafayette: Elevating Student Housing Near Purdue University
In a significant advancement for the student housing sector, Landmark Properties, a seasoned real estate firm acclaimed for its comprehensive expertise in development, construction, investment management, and operations, has unveiled its project, The Standard at West Lafayette. This upcoming 678-bed, 253-unit community near Purdue University’s campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, represents not only a robust development strategy but also a tailored response to a burgeoning need within the academic community.
Situated on the strategic juncture of Pierce and West Wood streets, adjacent to the east of Purdue’s campus, this 13-story project is poised to elevate the living standards for students. The enviable location near academic buildings and key student facilities makes it a prime site for residential accommodation. Upon completion, The Standard at West Lafayette will offer 240,299 square feet dedicated to residential space ranging from studios to four-bedroom apartments, effectively addressing the growing demand for premium off-campus housing.
Signifying expertise and precision in project execution, BKV Group has taken the reins as the project architect, ensuring aesthetic and functional design finesse, while Landmark Urban Construction will manage the construction process, reaffirming Landmark Properties’ long-standing tradition of excellence and quality assurance.
An anticipated delivery in Fall 2027 marks a timeline that aligns with the educational aspirations of Purdue’s increasing student population. “We are pleased to bring The Standard at West Lafayette to the Purdue University community,” expressed Wes Rogers, CEO of Landmark Properties. “For the 2023-2024 academic year, Purdue reported its ninth consecutive record-breaking year for applicants and enrollments. The West Lafayette campus noted an all-time high of more than 52,200 students, with the majority living near campus. The Standard at West Lafayette is a response to the demand for high-quality off-campus housing.”
In keeping with its commitment to excellence, The Standard at West Lafayette will feature highly sought-after amenities — from gourmet kitchens with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances to high-speed internet, sizable closets, and in-unit laundry. The community will also offer a rooftop clubhouse with an outdoor heated pool, fitness center, and a stunning indoor/outdoor amenity level complete with a gaming lounge and interior courtyard. Moreover, the sheer allocation of study spaces throughout the building sets a new bar for academic focused housing.
The real estate narrative often centers on location, and it’s clear that The Standard’s proximity to campus, combined with the accessibility provided by nearby bus routes, will be instrumental in shaping a convenient and enriched student living experience.
By threading innovation, strategic development, and a focus on community-driven amenities, Landmark Properties not only fortifies its portfolio but also exemplifies thought leadership within the multifamily housing industry. The Standard at West Lafayette promises to be a landmark of student living, reflecting the synergy between academic pursuits and residential fulfillment.
