Location Helps Determine Amenity Needs

LAS VEGAS—While some companies, like Landmark Properties, are looking at adding amenities galore to their properties, others like EdR, for example, are a bit more conservative. Representatives from those companies and others were among panelists on a “Design, Development and Construction Trends” panel at RealShare Student Housing on Thursday.

According to Joshua J. Wilson, VP of development at EdR, his company focuses on things like a private bath and having no double occupancy. Jason Doornbos, SVP of development at Landmark Properties, on the other hand, said that his firm is going for the wow factor in its amenity packages. “We have done spas in our projects, pools, and we are constantly trying to come up with that best new amenity to include in our clubhouses.”
