Landmark Properties Unveils The Standard at Dinkytown: Elevating Student Living in Minneapolis

As Minneapolis welcomes the latest addition to its architectural portfolio, Landmark Properties further cements its commitment to providing high-caliber living spaces for students. The Standard at Dinkytown, a newly completed 17-story student housing community, is now poised to redefine off-campus living near the University of Minnesota.

The project, envisioned and executed by Landmark Properties, stands tall at 521 15th Ave SE. Architectural firm BKV Group designed the structure, while Landmark Construction directed the building process. The result is an impeccable residential offering that comprises 323 units with varying floor plans, from cozy studios to spacious five-bedroom apartments. Each unit boasts state-of-the-art amenities, including gourmet kitchens with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, hardwood-style flooring, and in-unit laundry – all fully furnished and prepared for digital-age comforts with high-speed internet and cable wiring.

In a statement about the opening, Jason Doornbos, the Chief Development Officer of Landmark Properties, conveyed his anticipation for the 2025-26 academic year: "We look forward to welcoming The Standard at Dinkytown's first residents ahead of the 2025-26 academic year. The Standard's proximity to campus, top-of-market amenity package, and well-appointed residential units have made it the top off-campus housing option for area students seeking housing for the Fall 2025 term. Congratulations to our hardworking Landmark team for getting this project ready for move-in ahead of the upcoming school year."

Residents at The Standard at Dinkytown will not only enjoy the luxury of well-crafted private spaces but also be privy to an all-encompassing lifestyle experience. The community features an outdoor pool area with a jumbotron and sun deck, a rooftop hot tub with panoramic views of Minneapolis and the Mississippi River, and other open-air amenities. Inside, the living experience extends to a fitness center, a clubhouse with comprehensive facilities, gaming and study lounges with a café, and modern conveniences like Amazon package lockers.

With secure on-site parking that includes provisions for scooters and bicycles, The Standard at Dinkytown not only addresses the needs of resident students but also displays a mindful integration of sustainability and urban living trends. This project by Landmark Properties underscores the importance of innovation and thoughtful leadership in delivering multifamily communities that resonate with contemporary lifestyles and long-term urban planning. The convergence of comfort, convenience, and connectivity at The Standard sets a new benchmark for student housing in the Twin Cities.
