A joint venture involving Landmark Properties, Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC, and Peninsula Investments has acquired a 4.3-acre site at 2700 University Square Drive in Tampa, Florida. The group has announced plans to develop The Mark Tampa, a new student housing community located less than half a mile from the University of South Florida (USF).
The six-story development will include 215 residential units, accommodating a total of 807 beds. Unit layouts will range from studios to five-bedroom apartments, all fully furnished.
Construction on The Mark Tampa is set to begin immediately, with completion targeted for the 2027–2028 academic year. Kennedy Wilson is providing the construction loan for the project, and TSB Capital Advisors has arranged the financing. Landmark Construction will serve as the project’s general contractor, and Dwell Design Studios has been selected as the architect.
The development will feature an extensive 25,000-square-foot amenity package, including a rooftop pool deck, clubhouse, grilling area, jumbotron, sports simulator, sauna and cold plunge, an interior courtyard on the ground floor, as well as an indoor/outdoor fitness center. Additional amenities include a computer lab and dedicated study areas on each floor, serving the needs of student residents.
