The
Palisades @ E-City
Jackson, Miss. - October 12, 2003 - Fall 2004 will bring a higher standard
of on-campus living to Jackson State University with the unveiling of the
school's newest student apartment community, an amenities-rich playground
known as The Palisades @ E-City. Campus Advantage, an Austin-based firm specializing
in luxury student housing, has been selected to provide on-going property
management services.
The Palisades @ E-City will house grad students, faculty members and staff
of Jackson State and will have a uniquely-structured lease based on individual
liability. Because residents will have the freedom to lease bedrooms in individual
agreements, they will not be held responsible for their roommate's rent.
"The Palisades @ E-City will offer the freedom and sophistication of apartment
living, but will be tailor-made for the grad students, faculty and staff of
Jackson State University," said Michael Peter, president and CEO of Campus
Advantage. "The community will feature the most luxurious, state-of-the-art
lifestyle available on campus."
The Palisades @ E-City will have 144-units with 444 private bedrooms, each
equipped with a high-speed internet connection and phone connection. Spacious
living areas and fully-equipped kitchens with breakfast bars will be standard
in this luxury community. Bedrooms will be individually keyed for privacy.
Community amenities will be generous, including a pool and fitness center,
security systems, picnic areas, community clubhouse and a game room.

track-record that demonstrates his thorough understanding of the financial
structures and strategies involved in the operation and development of student
housing properties. During his career he has managed property portfolios for

Ft. Myers, Fla. - October 16, 2003 - Coastal Village, LLC, the Naples-based
property development firm, has hired Campus Advantage to provide consulting,

one of only two off-campus student housing properties in Ft. Myers. TalkMedia
Inc. will provide marketing and public relations services.
Coastal Village will serve three colleges and universities in the area, including
Florida Gulf Coast University, Edison Community College and International
College. FGCU is one of the fastest growing public universities in the nation,
making the need for affordable student units in that area especially urgent.
"Coastal Village and Campus Advantage look forward to working with FGCU and
the community of Ft. Myers to create a student housing property that pleases
everyone," said Michael Peter, president and CEO of Campus Advantage. "We
are dedicated to making sure that this property will not only provide much-needed
housing solutions for students at FGCU, but will also serve as a model for
high-quality developments that compliment the community."
The property will be a luxury alternative to the traditional residence hall,
offering the freedom of apartment-style living that is tailor-made for students.
Abundant with amenities, Coastal Village will feature 800 private, fully-furnished
bedrooms and baths, spacious community living areas, 24-hour on-site management,
a technology center and fitness center, a private pool, and a sport court
with volleyball and basketball.

of Real Estate Management (IREM).
