Harrison Street, an investment management firm​, ​and LV Collective, a multifamily and student-oriented housing developer, announced a joint venture to develop a mixed-use project including multifamily, student housing, retail space and a community center. 

The project, slated to be built adjacent to the University of Maryland, College Park, will serve the campus community, College Park’s historically Black Lakeland community and nearby residents. It will be called “Rambler College Park,” according to Harrison Street.

The development, spanning 340,000 square feet, is scheduled for completion in fall 2027. 

Located less than a quarter mile from the University of Maryland, the development is set to include 288 residential units and 1,003 beds coupled with “amenities curated for the College Park and University of Maryland lifestyle.” 

Rambler College Park will feature a ground-level coffee shop, a second-floor co-working mezzanine, an outdoor terrace, a hot tub with a jumbotron, a fitness center and a yoga studio, according to a Harrison Street statement.

“This development reflects our commitment to creating environments that go beyond housing — places where students, residents, and the community alike can thrive, connect, and grow,” said Jonathan Reyes, president of student housing at LV Collective.

“We’re especially proud of the collaboration with the city of College Park, which allowed us to align our vision with the community’s values and goals. Together, we’re delivering a vibrant, inclusive space that we believe supports student success, local engagement, and long-term community impact.” 

The building is designed to provide 13,715 square feet of retail space, culminating a collaborative effort between LV Collective, the Lakeland Civic Association and the Lakeland Community Heritage Project to plan and program a community center within the development.

The abovementioned program includes a library, an archive to preserve Lakeland history and a flex-space for presentations, art galleries and other community functions.
