In addition to featuring 928 beds, The Mark now serves as the headquarters for Landmark Properties, bringing more than 125 full-time employees to downtown Athens. Landmark employees have been working from the new offices since July 24. In total, The Mark features 82,000 square feet of office and retail space. Other business tenants include Orangetheory Fitness, Marlowe Johnson and Keystone Custom Homes.
 
"The entire team at Landmark Properties is excited to open the doors at The Mark to more than 900 students who have chosen to call it their home in the Classic City," Landmark Properties President and CEO Wes Rogers said. "We are also thrilled to have re-located our corporate headquarters to the new mixed-use development, bringing a significant number of jobs to downtown Athens."
 
"For my entire life, I've called Athens home. It is a dream come true to bring our team and our residents to one of the finest downtown areas in the country. With The Mark, we further our commitment to offering residents an unsurpassed living experience and strengthen our dedication to being good neighbors in the Athens community."
