Featured Property: Luxury House of Marcus Hiles

Marcus Hiles is the Dallas area’s preeminent luxury house expert. With hundreds of developed properties for the upscale residential market, he and his two real estate development firms have been instrumental in revitalizing the urban living environment in Texas’ largest cities. Marcus has carefully studied trends in the real estate market and knows that today’s residents demand a better quality of life than ever before.

Marcus is the founder and CEO of Western Rim Property Services, the leading developer of properties for the rental market. Unlike other companies, Western Rim focuses on the upscale rental market, providing residents with affordable lease terms while still giving them the amenities and lifestyles they demand. Over the past 30 years, the company has developed over 20,000 units, comprised of traditional apartment buildings, condominiums, and townhouses throughout the Dallas metro area and in cities like Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Their formula for success is in several parts. First, the company pinpoints desirable locations, purchasing land in popular neighborhoods and with good school systems located nearby. Next, the lease terms are surprisingly affordable. Western Rim strives to halve the prices of similar urban or uptown rates charged by other rental developments, yet still manages to develop units that are complete with luxurious appointments and amenities. Those amenities are a hallmark of the Western Rim developments, giving residents the choice of fitness centers, swimming pools, walking and hiking trails, and abundant natural areas to enjoy the outdoors. Inside the units, tenants will find hardwood floors, upscale finishes, and state-of-the-art lighting and appliances. Finally, the company works hard to create low-density developments, maintaining natural space and giving residents the easy, roomy living conditions they hope for.

This carefully-crafted formula has been a tremendous success, and new developments are being planned on a regular basis. Marcus has shepherded the company through the ups and downs of the real estate market; his business savvy and understanding of prevailing market conditions have made him an unrivaled success over the years. In addition, the company’s attention to its residents has been nothing short of spectacular. Giving residents the upscale lifestyles they crave while providing great places to live in safe, welcoming neighborhoods has earned the company a reputation for excellence.

Giving people the luxurious appointments and popular amenities isn’t enough for the company, however. Over the past decade, Western Rim and Mr. Hiles have received acclaim for their environmental stewardship. Marcus has even gone as far as generously donating parkland to the city of Dallas to be used by residents of the metropolitan area. By preserving natural areas and enhancing green spaces within the developments, the company has reduced its carbon footprint. Western Rim also has the goal of planting a minimum of 2500 trees each year. In fact, that goal has been eclipsed; in the past decade, the company has been responsible for upwards of 30,000 tree plantings. Energy-efficient systems in the properties along with green building practices have helped the Western Rim communities stand out as the premier rental locations in Texas. These environmental practices help to ensure that residents have a better quality of life, fostering a true community spirit and preserving natural areas for future generations to enjoy.
