The Search For Perfection

Mark-Taylor builds and manages multifamily communities, exclusively and always with a drive for perfection. It's unusual to find a sizable company with such attention to detail and hands-on involvement by the principals but the company has never lost sight of the original philosophy which has made it so successful.

Jeff Mark and Scott Taylor formed the company in 1990 with a dedication to quality enhanced by their expert knowledge in several diverse fields - Jeff Mark in the areas of design and construction, and Scott Taylor in finance and management. Since then, the company has stayed focused on the search for perfection, with a hands-on approach from top to bottom that reflects the principals, commitment to quality.

A Reputation Built On Quality

Having completed more than 10,000 multifamily housing units in the Southwest, with more in Arizona than any other developer, Mark-Taylor has become an established regional leader.

The company's reputation has been built on quality. Mark-Taylor builds a
superior product and sustains that excellence through long-term management. The results are impressive. Real estate values frequently increase in the areas
surrounding those where Mark-Taylor develops. Occupancy levels and rental rates are consistently the highest in those locations. And the company has become a market leader in sales price per unit.

With such attention to quality, it's no wonder Mark-Taylor has won numerous local and national awards. These include honors from the National Apartment Builders, Owners & Developers "Affordable Garden Apartment Community" and twice for "Best Luxury Garden Apartment Community" in the United States.

Points Of Distinction

Mark-Taylor consistently upholds the founding philosophy that "It can always be better". With a commitment to ongoing, in-depth research, the company not only analyzes and develops trends within the multifamily industry, but also explores new ideas from other industries.

Mark-Taylor goes beyond the usual standards in every community it develops. Instead of an exercise room, there's a comprehensive fitness center with impressive features, such as saunas, a rock climbing wall and virtual reality bikes. Instead of a traditional swimming pool there's a lagoon pool graced by waterfalls and a white sandy beach.

Quality is reflected in other community amenities, as well. A dramatic porte cochere entry with enhanced security. An enormous clubhouse with a big-screen TV lounge, fully equipped kitchen, granite-topped entertainment bar and a fireplace. Unique floor plans and interiors mirror single-family design - features like coffered ceilings, ceramic tile floors, maple cabinetry, intrusion alarms and large walk-in closets.

The Right Structure For Success

A major factor in Mark-Taylor's success is the company's vertical integration.
Separate in-house departments for development, architecture, interior and landscape design, construction and management result in better quality control, a better final product and better communities overall.

The talented staff includes industry leaders in every aspect of the business. Each department benefits from one another's expertise. The in-house architectural group, for example, can work one-on-one with designers who create custom features like gates and light fixtures, and meet directly with the community managers to determine what features and floor plans renters desire most.

New Standards in Management Services

Because of its long-term strategy and outlook, the company retains and manages most of its properties well beyond the development stage. Mark-Taylor's approach to management demonstrates the attention to detail and quality that characterizes every facet of the company. This ensures that its properties continue to look better than others and also that they perform better financially.
