The $26 million+ development at Capital Circle and Mahan Drive is located at one of the busiest intersections in the City of Tallahassee.

“We’re proud to have Mahan Village 90 percent leased upon opening, including first-rate anchor tenants that fit the vibrant and booming Tallahassee area,” said Michael Cohn, Cousins’ executive vice president.

In early 2011, Cousins announced a partnership with Watkins Retail Group to recapitalize Publix-anchored neighborhood shopping centers in Florida and Tennessee. This will be the fifth project the two companies have partnered.

The Publix Supermarket (45,600 square feet) was relocated to Mahan Village from an existing, undersized store located across the street. Academy Sports & Outdoors (67,664 square feet) chose to locate its only store in the Tallahassee market in Mahan Village
