Former PGIM Executive Director Named to Newly Created Position to

Build Additional Capital Formation Channel

ATHENS, Ga. (July 13, 2026) - Landmark Properties, a fully-integrated real estate investment firm specializing in development, construction, acquisition, and operation of high-quality residential communities, announced that Sean Morris has joined the firm as Head of Private Wealth. In this newly created role, Morris will be responsible for building and leading the firm's retail and private wealth business, beginning with the launch of an Opportunity Zone Fund series given recent federal legislation extending and making the Opportunity Zone program permanent.

"We are pleased to welcome Sean to Landmark as Head of Private Wealth," said Walt Templin, President and Chief Investment Officer of Landmark Properties. "As investor interest continues to grow in alternative housing investments and advisors allocate back to real estate, Landmark is uniquely positioned to capture that demand - our development pipeline sits at the intersection of institutional-quality student housing and some of the most compelling Opportunity Zone geographies in the country. Sean's experience will strengthen our relationships with wealth management firms to provide access to our investment strategies."

Sean has more than 30 years of experience in sales and distribution, with 15 years in the real estate investment sector. Prior to joining Landmark, he served as an Executive Director at PGIM Real Estate working across sales and distribution, national accounts, and product development. Prior to PGIM, he was a National Sales Director at CIM Group, leading private wealth distribution as well as launching one of the largest Opportunity Zone Funds in market.

"I'm thrilled to join the experienced investment team at Landmark Properties," said Morris. "The wealth management industry continues to seek diversification as we enter a new real estate cycle and a complementary OZ investment strategy naturally aligns with Landmark's proven track record of developing, owning and operating purpose-built student housing with a deep, actionable pipeline. These are the same types of deals that have historically been capitalized by the largest institutional and private equity partners, which makes them even more attractive to high-net-worth investors when coupled with the Opportunity Zone tax benefits."

Morris holds a Bachelor of Science in Management from Villanova University and holds FINRA Series 7, 64, and 24 licenses.
