Landmark Properties Adds 521 Beds to Its Housing Portfolio with Delivery of The Legacy at Ann Arbor
ATHENS, Ga., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Landmark Properties, a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in the development, construction, acquisition, investment management, and operation of high-quality residential communities, announces the delivery of The Legacy at Ann Arbor, a new, 521-bed student housing community at 616 E. Washington Street in Ann Arbor, MI.
Developed in a joint venture with Cerca Trova and designed by ESG Architecture & Design, The Legacy at Ann Arbor is comprised of two interconnected buildings – a 19-story high-rise and mid-rise structure attached to the historic Michigan Theater. Landmark Construction served as the project's general contractor. The Legacy at Ann Arbor is fully leased ahead of the 2025-2026 school year.
"We're confident that this amazing project will exceed the expectations of our new residents who started moving in on August 1st," said Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer at Landmark Properties. "Congratulations to our Landmark Construction team and vendor partners on bringing this project online well ahead of the academic year."
The Legacy at Ann Arbor offers residents a mix of studios to five-bedroom apartments across 253 units. Well-appointed apartments come fully furnished and wired for high-speed internet and cable. Each unit features stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, hardwood-style floors, and in-unit laundry.
The development contains more than 9,700 square feet of amenities, including a rooftop pool deck and resident clubroom with outdoor grilling, a gaming lawn and firepit seating area, a comfortable academic lounge, fitness center and bike storage. The Legacy at Ann Arbor also has 4,150 square feet of ground-floor retail space and on-site gated resident parking. The building is immediately adjacent to the University of Michigan campus and a number of dining, entertainment and retail options in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor.
"When it comes to location, The Legacy is second to none," says Howard Frehsee, principal of Michigan-based Cerca Trova, LLC, who co-developed the project. "The building is a one-minute walk to the Diag (i.e. the center of campus), less than 10 minutes on foot from Main Street and Kerrytown, and a five-minute walk to South University. Its proximity to campus and other popular attractions not only makes Michigan's winters more tolerable, but The Legacy's unparalleled quality, comfort, space, and amenities are deserving of tomorrow's leaders. Congratulations to our entire Landmark and Cerca Trova teams!"
With the opening of The Legacy at Ann Arbor, Landmark currently operates and manages more than 2,400 beds across six properties in Michigan, including The Standard at Ann Arbor, Saga Ann Arbor, Foundry Lofts, Z West, and Z Place.
