Summary:
- Landmark Properties is developing The Mark Mansfield, a 738-bed off-campus student housing project with retail space at 134 N. Eagleville Road near UConn Storrs, starting construction later this year; a second site, The Hub, is planned across the street with potential Landmark acquisition underway.
- The University of Connecticut board of trustees approved easement agreements totaling $600,000 plus annual payments to support development on private land adjacent to campus, with UConn coordinating shuttle and bus services and providing overflow parking at university rates.
- Both developments will contribute over $3.2 million to Mansfield’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund instead of including on-site affordable units, aligning with local zoning requirements and supporting the town’s broader goal to increase affordable family housing amid a declining K-12 population.
