StateHouse Tallahassee, GRO
When 908 Group came to Asset Living to manage the lease-up of StateHouse Tallahassee, the market was oversaturated with many other “brand-new” properties. Asset Living rose to the challenge by changing the name of the game of this 604-bed community with 138 total units. The key was to differentiate the properties’ digital presence and implement new marketing tactics. Through Asset Living’s lease-up efforts in 2020-2021, the team successfully leased both StateHouse Arena and StateHouse Varsity to 100% pre-lease and achieved 100% occupancy at both sites. Despite having the highest rates in the market, the StateHouse properties become some of the biggest competitors in Tallahassee.
Challenges
Managing a lease-up in the highly competitive and oversaturated Tallahassee market meant that the team had to double down its strategy and predict every obstacle.
- Breaking through the clutter and outsmarting the competition.
- Marketing to our target audience during the pandemic.
Our Approach
Asset Living focused most of StateHouse Tallahassee’s marketing efforts on creating a digital ad strategy that launched ad content across multiple channels. These included:

The Results
