Civil Manager

Formed in 2004, Landmark is a vertically-integrated developer, owner, and manager historically dedicated to student housing real estate. Landmark has one of the largest corporate teams dedicated to student housing in the United States with over 1,200 employees across development, acquisitions, construction, property management, and investment management.

Since inception, Landmark has invested in nearly 110 rental projects across the U.S. with a total cost including commitments of $12.3 billion and $11.1 billion of assets under management. Landmark’s strong reputation, extensive network of relationships and nationwide presence contribute to most investments being sourced off market across its platforms.

The Civil Manager is responsible for acting as a liaison between the Pre-Construction and Development departments for two (2) to four (4) Urban and/or Cottage projects at any given time. Involvement will run through the due diligence phase, entitlements, plan production and permitting at which point these portions of the project will be handed off to the Landmark Urban Construction team.
