Tallahassee – Landmark Properties, in partnership with Manulife Investment Management, has unveiled The Mark Tallahassee, a new student housing community comprising 860 beds, located at 675 W. Lafayette Street, just steps away from the Florida State University campus in the vibrant College Town neighborhood. The opening of this facility is expected to accommodate a growing demand for student housing near the university, which is recognized as the top institution for student accommodation.
The Mark Tallahassee consists of three mid-rise buildings and features 202 fully leased units for the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year. The housing options range from cozy studios to spacious six-bedroom apartments, with each room designed with a private bathroom to enhance the comfort of student residents. In addition, a unique selection of VIP penthouse-style units is available, offering upscale living with high-end technology and advanced appliances, catering to students looking for a premium living experience.
Amenities at The Mark Tallahassee are extensive. The community boasts an impressive 8,900-square-foot rooftop clubhouse that offers direct access to a 9,000-square-foot outdoor pool deck, which includes a sun shelf, spa, and fitness center. Residents can also benefit from two fitness centers—one indoors and one outdoors—various study lounges, collaboration spaces, and recreational services such as pool tables. To further enhance convenience, all units feature hardwood flooring and in-unit laundry facilities.
Recent statistics from Florida State University indicate a substantial need for student housing in the area, as the institution has 5,785 bedrooms currently under construction, equating to 13.6% of its total enrollment. The Mark Tallahassee is strategically positioned to address this demand, as it is part of a broader initiative by Landmark Properties and Manulife Investment Management to develop student housing options near major universities. Other projects in this portfolio include developments close to the University of Connecticut and Purdue University.
Construction on The Mark Tallahassee commenced in September 2023, with the architectural designs crafted by Dwell Design. Landmark Construction served as the general contractor for this ambitious project. The introduction of this housing community is expected to bolster the living experience for students and significantly contribute to the revitalization of the College Town neighborhood.
In addition to The Mark Tallahassee, Up Campus Student Living has also initiated the development of another student housing project named Leo Tallahassee, which will offer 782 beds. This second development aims to open before Fall 2027, further expanding housing options for students in the area.
The launch of The Mark Tallahassee marks a significant addition to Tallahassee’s student housing landscape, set to redefine the living arrangements available to students at Florida State University.
