K2 Urbancorp's mixed-use commercial center would be the first Traditional Neighborhood Development in Florida built to the U.S. Green Building Council's "LEED NC" standards TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Five prominent Tallahassee businesses joined in groundbreaking ceremonies Saturday for what promises to be one of Florida's most exciting new green developments -- the Evening Rose Town Center. The 120,000-square-foot Town Center compliments K2's adjoining 132-home Evening Rose residential community and will complete the developer's vision to create one of the state's first completely "green" Traditional Neighborhood Developments. Like all of the homes being built by K2 Urbancorp at Evening Rose, the Town Center will be built to strict environmental and energy efficiency standards independently verified by third parties and certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. The first businesses to sign leases with the $80 million new-urbanism inspired development -- located near the intersection of Capital Circle Northeast and Mahan Drive -- are expected to open their doors by late summer.
