Mark-Taylor Adds New Management Contract to its Portfolio

Chandler, Ariz. (September 8, 2006) -- Mark-Taylor Residential has earned the management contract for the San Tierra apartment community in Chandler, Arizona. The 284-unit property is located at 3939 West Windmills Boulevard, near Ray Road and McClintock, and is convenient to regional transportation corridors and major employment centers.

“Our entire management team contributed to the successful landing of this account. The owner of San Tierra, Balaclava Holdings Inc, toured another Mark-Taylor property and experienced first hand the Mark-Taylor culture of professionalism and excellence. That experience was a defined tipping point,” said Dale Phillips, President of Mark-Taylor Residential. The transition from the current property management company to Mark-Taylor will be led by Mark-Taylor vice president Robert Hicks.

Floor plans range from an 800 square foot one bedroom/one bath with walk-in closet to a 1,200 square foot 3 bedroom/two bath plan with a generous living room and dining room areas. Each apartment home is equipped with gourmet kitchens, individual security systems, full size washer and dryers, built-in microwaves, and corner fireplace with tile hearths.

Community amenities include an on-site fitness center, two swimming pools, spa, a lighted sand volleyball court, clubhouse with big screen TV, and ramadas with gas barbecues.

Mark-Taylor Residential is one of the state’s largest developers and managers of apartment communities. The majority of the company’s business is managing apartment communities for third party owners. The award-winning company currently owns and/or manages seven apartment communities in Chandler and 18 properties total in the Valley of the Sun. More information is available at www.mark-taylor.com.
