Kent state UNIVERSITY
In August 2012, Fairmount Properties celebrated the grand opening of College Town Kent in historic Downtown Kent, just a short walk from the KSU campus and its growing student population. This $100+ million pedestrian-scaled development is anchored by the KSU hotel and office space for hundreds of professionals. College Town includes over 200,000 sq. ft. of street-level retail with apparel, home, and specialty stores, as well as restaurants featuring outdoor patio seating. The development also offers Class A office space and residences tailored to young professionals, providing a built-in customer base for the ground floor establishments. College Town Kent offers the KSU and surrounding communities a vibrant place to live, work, shop, and recreate.
The Landmark, which opened fully leased in Spring 2014, is located in the heart of Kent’s new $100 million mixed-use downtown district. This area features restaurants, trendy shops, a boutique hotel, nightlife, and professional offices all within easy reach. Residents can enjoy a variety of dining experiences, from upscale wine bars to fast-casual eateries and coffee shops, immersing themselves in the lively downtown atmosphere day and night. At home, they benefit from luxury living with spacious floor plans, high-end finishes, walk-in closets, in-suite washer and dryer, and a private fitness room. The Landmark at Kent is an ideal retreat for young professionals, empty nesters, and anyone seeking sophisticated urban living.

“We are proactively partnering in downtown development…an unprecedented physical presence in the downtown area. Linked to the university through our Esplanade, this complex will breathe new life into our campus and the city of Kent. It will undoubtedly create an environment that draws students, university and city employees, residents and visitors here to live, work and play.”
“ The new office, retail, entertainment and residential spaces under construction are seen here as essential ingredients in a civic formula for attracting students and educated professionals, defining spending habits and rebranding Kent as a flourishing 21st-century college town.”
