market.Orlando, Fla. — Landmark Properties has closed financing with construction lender PNC and begun construction on a community near the University of Central Florida.

The 894-bed cottage community will feature the largest pool of any student community in Orlando, which will include multiple private cabanas and a relaxing hammock grove. Adjacent to the pool, an 11,000-plus square foot clubhouse will include a fitness center with separate strength and cardio rooms and a yoga center/mix-used fitness space that will feature Fitness on Demand programming. Other clubhouse amenities, include a sauna and spa, pool tables, gaming/study pods, numerous tanning beds, cyber café, social lounge, computer lab and studying nooks.
