MARANA, ARIZONA (August 25, 2022) – HSL Properties (Omar Mireles, President) bought 57.8 acres of vacant land from Northwest Hospital, LLC in Gladden Farms for $14.2 million ($5.64 PSF). The land is located at the SWC of Moore Road and Interstate 10 in Marana.
Northwest Hospital, LLC is owned by Community Health Systems in Franklin, Tennessee, and purchased the farmland in 2007 with the intent for a future hospital site here that is no longer needed. The transaction closed August 15.
The property was not on the market when Justin Lanne, Mike Chapman and Neil Davis of the Lanne Chapman Multifamily Group at NAI Horizon in Tucson brought the buyer and seller together.
The Lanne Chapman Multifamily Group focuses on multifamily improved product and the brokerage of multifamily land to the Development community. Lanne and Chapman have more than 30 years in the commercial brokerage business and have combined for $1.5 billion in real estate sales.
“This is a great opportunity for HSL Properties to continue its development of quality multifamily in the northwest sector of Tucson and Marana,” Lanne said.
This latest site for Encantada Gladden Farms is intended for development of a mixture of luxury apartments and townhomes.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA (August 17, 2022) – On the 30th anniversary of the Arizona Multihousing Association and Cox Communications Tribute Awards, a record 29 winners were honored as the best and brightest of Arizona’s rental housing industry.
More than 1,600 were in attendance on August 12 at the Phoenix Convention Center as the Arizona Multihousing Association (AMA), the statewide trade association for the apartment industry, hosted the 30th Annual AMA/Cox Communications Tribute Awards.
This Tribute Awards were about more than one night of recognition. The state’s apartment industry was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago. Buoyed by the strength and resilience of its members and leadership, it has bounced back.

Courtney LeVinus
“Look around this room. It’s great to be back in person. Tonight, on the 30th anniversary, we celebrate the biggest Tribute Award celebration ever,” said Courtney LeVinus, AMA President and CEO. “This is a great way to come back from the pandemic. It fills my heart with joy to see everyone in person. This is the night we celebrate our own – the best and brightest in the industry.”
A record 790 nominations from 33 member companies participated. Volunteers donated more than 700 hours of their time to judge all the nominees. The AMA’s nomination and interview process is one of the most rigorous in the industry. Nominees complete an aptitude test and AMA judges conduct in-person interviews and some have personal shops or inspection of the properties and teams.
A total of 29 awards were handed out: 20 to individuals, five to teams, and four to properties.
“I’m so proud to see our outstanding teams and individuals recognized tonight. I know it’s a special honor,” said Scott Hines, PEM Real Estate Group and the 2022 AMA Board Chair. “Our members do an impossible yet very important job each day and make it look easy. They do it to improve the quality of the industry. Tonight, it’s their chance to lift one another up and celebrate.”
Arizona’s apartment industry annually generates 131,000 jobs, $699 million in wages, and an economic impact of $3.8 billion.

Leaders of two Arizona-based homebuilding and land development firms tapped to serve on Cecilian Partners’ board, assisting the firm with its growth strategy, operational oversight, and market penetration.
New Hope, Pa. (Aug 9, 2022) – Cecilian Partners Inc., a Pennsylvania-based real estate property technology company, announces that executives with two Arizona-based homebuilding and land development firms have joined its board of directors. Stephanie McCarty, chief marketing and communications officer at national homebuilder and developer Taylor Morrison, and Greg Vogel, founder and CEO of Land Advisors Organization have been named to the board to assist Cecilian Partners with its growth strategy, operational oversight and market penetration. They join the firm’s five other distinguished industry leaders currently serving on Cecilian Partners’ board of directors.

Greg Vogel
As chief marketing and communications officer, McCarty has transformed the company culture and branding position nationwide, led several acquisitions that helped catapult Taylor Morrison to one of the country’s largest residential homebuilders, led efforts resulting in the brand being recognized as America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder by Lifestory Research seven years running, and positioned Taylor Morrison among the first to move the future of new construction home shopping forward with innovative, industry-leading customer acquisition tools. As an award-winning CMO, McCarty is keenly focused on driving revenue-generating marketing strategies that include purposeful technology positioned to solve customer pain points within the shopping and buying experience.
Greg Vogel founded Land Advisors Organization in 1987. As chief executive officer of the nation’s largest land advisory and brokerage firm, Vogel has led the firm’s expansion into 29 growth markets across the United States. Land Advisors Organization recently entered into a partnership with Cecilian Partners to further expand its proptech capabilities and extend its services for builders and developers beyond land analysis and sales into land development, lot management, and the enhancement of the new home buying experience.
Cecilian Partners is an early-stage proptech firm that has modernized the land development, home building and home buying experience. The firm’s patented digital platform simplifies and streamlines data, digital marketing, and operations by centralizing every stage of the planning and community development process while enhancing the new home buying experience. The specialized technology assists builders and developers with real-time lot and inventory management utilizing an anti-repetition algorithm.
Co-Founders John Cecilian and Philip Worland are thrilled to have McCarty and Vogel join their board of directors.
“Greg brings a level of master-planned community expertise and deep knowledge of the category. Being a true entrepreneur as well, Greg knows and understands the recipe of what fast growth looks like for organizations and what it takes to achieve it,” said Cecilian.
Cecilian, being obsessed with the customer journey, knows that Taylor Morrison shares his passion for creating an exemplary consumer experience. He turned to McCarty, who has spearheaded digital innovation at Taylor Morrison with the launch of an industry-first e-commerce system to purchase and build homes entirely online, empowering shoppers in their homebuying journey.
“Stephanie brings a strategic and innovative view of the successful customer experience. As an expert on the intersection of digital product and homebuilding, she understands the value of bringing progressive thought leadership to an often tech-starved industry. Her knowledge and expertise will help both Cecilian Partners and our clients to better engage with consumers through digital transformation,” said Cecilian.
Cecilian Partners anticipates beginning its Series A fundraising in late 2022 or early 2023.
