Go Green, Save Cash on Gas
Mark Taylor offers $1,000 rent savings to new residents who cut their commutes by moving to a Mark-Taylor property

Scottsdale, April 2, 2008-Phoenix apartment renters tired of paying $3-plus per gallon for gas and spending way too much time stuck in traffic can now save time, money and the environment with Mark-Taylor Residential.

This month, new residents who prove they will cut their commutes by moving to a Mark-Taylor property can receive a $1,000 savings on their rent.

"So many people are concerned about the environment and the cost to fill up their tank these days," says Kim Atkinson, director of marketing and public relations at Mark-Taylor. "We want to reward people with a savings on their rent if they cut their commute by living with us…it just seems like the right thing to do."

Want to know more? Check Mark-Taylor's Web site (www.mark-taylor.com/spring08.htm) to calculate the distance you currently drive to work and how many miles you might shave off that commute if you move into a Mark-Taylor community closer to your workplace.

Mark-Taylor operates 30 resort-style apartment properties in the Phoenix area, from Chandler to Surprise, giving would-be renters numerous living choices for trimming their daily drive time.
 
The fine print? Prospective residents will need to bring a copy of their printed maps and proof of employment to a Mark-Taylor leasing office to confirm their new, shorter commute. The “Go Green, Save Green” program is only available to those who already live in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area; supplies are limited. Out-of-state renters may qualify for other specials and should contact the leasing office at a Mark-Taylor property for more information.
