We offer start-to-finish development services with strong economic capabilities to produce top-quality housing
From land acquisition to financing, site planning, design, construction and leasing, every individual on the Hallmark Communities team has extensive experience in executing highly successful projects including low and mid-rise multi-family residential and student housing communities, mixed-use developments, planned, sustainable and LEED-certified communities.
OUR PROCESS
Hallmark’s pre-development services begin with market studies, conceptual site planning, financial analysis and projections to assure long-term viability.
Our team analyzes rental rates and housing costs; the costs of land acquisition, development and operations; and, post-development revenue projections. Before shovels turn, there’s a clear understanding of options, plans, costs and returns.
We execute this due diligence for all Hallmark Communities projects but are also pleased to provide these services as a collaborative partner.
For student housing, Hallmark seeks to acquire land with or without existing structures, within close proximity to colleges or universities demonstrating sound market fundamentals.
For multi-family, Hallmark is inclined towards areas with a growth rate 1.5% or more or communities that haven’t had new development in 10+ years.

Hallmark’s design-build ideas and methods incorporate sustainability, flexibility and architectural integrity for the purpose of providing contemporary student housing that is better today and will provide adaptability for decades to come. Our individual living spaces are larger, our amenity and unit concepts offer functional beauty while supporting community-style campus living.

As Hallmark’s in-house general contractor, HCC Construction offers start-to-finish development services with strong economic capabilities to produce top-quality housing. We provide a full line of construction services, including construction management, general contracting, design-build and tenant fit out work. We deliver projects of the highest quality because of our most important asset - our people. We’ve worked alongside Dean A. Wenz Architecture group and the Edge Group as our land planner for over 25 years. Our robust history of collaboration arms our team with unmatched efficiency without sacrificing safety of quality in design.
We take a linear approach to construction phases while schedules and scope are carefully defined. From construction to quality assurance and safety, we provide owners with projects they’re excited about at a fair price. The team’s specialization in multi-family and student housing has propelled Hallmark’s growth and continues to play a critical role as we navigate economic volatility.
Construction
The ability to finance a project and access to capital with an attractive rate is a major advantage. The depth of successful project experience on the Hallmark Communities team has afforded the company a reputation for good results. Lenders appreciate the thoroughness of the pre-development research and projections and trust those projections are realistic because of the people involved.
If there is an opportunity to acquire the right location and the projections are good, we can bring lenders to the table who will be supportive to the process.
Our post-construction service leading up to and continuing through this point includes closing out the project with a final accounting report, warranty provisions, documentation (as-built and certificates of occupancy, securing lien releases) and completes with a first year inspection.
We work throughout the construction phase of our projects to be a good neighbor. When we are in the post-construction phase our goal is to leave a completed project looking as if it was always part of the community landscape.
