Portman and 908 Group today announce the completion of The Hall, a premier student housing community adjacent to Florida State University (FSU). Located directly across from Legacy Hall, the new home of the FSU College of Business, The Hall delivers 191 apartments and 674 beds across two mid-rise buildings. Residents are currently moving in.
The Hall features 7,689 square feet of ground-floor retail, 425 dedicated parking spaces and a thoughtfully curated amenity package designed to support both academic success and student wellness. Residents will enjoy two separate pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center in each building, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, and immediate access to campus, restaurants, retail and entertainment.
“FSU’s continued growth has created strong demand for well-located, thoughtfully designed student housing,” said Harvey Wadsworth, Managing Director of Residential at Portman. “The Hall meets that need by offering an elevated residential experience with modern amenities, walkable access to campus and spaces that support both academic achievement and student life. We’re excited to welcome its first residents and see this community become a true extension of the campus.”
With approximately 43,900 students enrolled at Florida State University, The Hall provides a timely addition to the university’s evolving campus landscape. Located directly across from Legacy Hall, which opened for classes in January 2026 as the new home of the FSU College of Business, The Hall places residents at the center of academics, campus life and the surrounding Tallahassee community.
In addition to Portman and 908 Group, the joint venture for The Hall includes Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC and PTM Partners.
