Exciting news from our new development at 608 E. Chalmers on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus: this week the building "topped out," meaning that the top floor wrapped up framing and the roof trusses were set in place. This purpose-built student housing project is set to be delivered August 2025 and includes 115 apartments with a range of amenities including a rooftop deck. The building is part of our Smile Student Living portfolio and located in the heart of campus right across from the Main Quad. Thank you to our architect Mode 3 Architecture and our GC Wells and Wells Construction for the continued progress and hard work on this development! Learn more about 608 E.

We are proud to share that our CEO, Gozen Hartman, has been elected onto the University of Illinois Foundation Board as a Governing Director! “The University of Illinois has shaped me in so many ways, dating back to 1980 when my parents took jobs in the College of Engineering and moved us from Istanbul, Turkey, to Urbana, Illinois,” shared Gozen. “It is my absolute honor and privilege to serve my alma mater in this way.” We are confident that her expertise in leadership, strategic planning, and community development will be invaluable to the board’s efforts.

A few weeks ago we held our second annual budget workshop at Bloomington Country Club . Roughly 40 Fairlawners across our properties and offices were invited to attend and discuss budget planning tools and how to best prepare for the year ahead. However, this event wasn’t all work and no play! After day one wrapped up, we hopped on a bus which took us on a tour of all our nearby properties and developments. We then spent the evening having a blast at DESTIHL® Brewery and Beer Hall . We are so grateful for the enthusiasm and great energy the attendees brought to this two-day event. We are already looking forward to next year!
